New Safari Issue Rendering Images (April 2023)

Either Safari or MacOS has had a recent update that causes images to sporadically fail to render .

See examples.

Regular render.

Periodic problems like this.

There is a difference between rendering the same page in a 'Private Window' and regular.

The rendering image also appears to be mostly the still images that are presented for video content.

It has happened with just regular news images (not video) as well, but more frequently for video link stills.

Updating software and rebooting does not repair the issue.

Did not have this issue prior to March 2023 as far as I can recall.

Network is good. Video renders ok. It's just still images on news web pages, sometimes Netflix, Prime, BBC, Wall Street Journal, etc.. Not specific to any one service provider as far as I can tell.

Same problem on my iMac after updating safari Version 16.4.1 This is enough for me to switch to a different browser. Also this version seems slower than what I had before.

Same issue but impacts random sites on static photos. I've had it happen in retail sites in addition to the new web pages. Making me lean towards using other browsers.
