When using Safari to access Netflix, I no longer see any images

When using Safari to access Netflix, I no longer see any images - only text and black boxes where the images should be. Netflix says it is a Safari problem. They had me reinstall Safari, restart my Mac and restart my modem. None of that worked. If I use Firefox as my browser, everything works fine.

Current netflix site uses AVIF image format. Unfortunately, the AVIF is only supported in Mac OS 13 Ventura.

Thanks for this. I was able to remove the remaining bits of McAfee and Avira. I then restarted. Although it did not fix the Netflix problem, I do appreciate the help. The issue may have nothing to do with my Mac and could be some weird Netflix problem. I'll just use Firefox with Netflix for the immediate future. Thanks again for trying.

There will be future updates for Monterey from 12.6.3 to resolve this graphics issue with Safari 16.3 ? I finally did a reload of Monterey with Apple Support and then refused the update for Safari to 16.3...now graphics appear. Another side issue, the finder window with Monterey will not show iPhone or iPad in window for wifi bluetooth sync...I'm a little worried Apple will leave us Mac Book Pro users from early 2016 and prior will now miss out on updates completely.
