Safari broken with latest update

When opening Safari after the 12.6.3 update (including doing the safari update) I get "you can’t open the application “Safari” because this application is not supported on this Mac."


This seems.... odd?


The safari icon is greyed out and has the symbol over it that suggests it is not able to be opened

Try hitting "Shift/command/ and the period (.) button at the same time to reveal hidden folders. Navigate to user/ your personal folder (usually your name)/library/ Delete the "Safari" folder and restart you Mac. macOS will rebuild the Safari folder. I have done this before to fix related problems.
