Safari randomly started to fail to open websites. I disabled the firewall and ad blockers, disabled IP tracking protection, but it's still happening.
The error message is:

I have 500GB still free on my multi-TB SSD, so space is NOT the issue.

It seems like this has been going on for years.
Did anyone find a way to mitigate it?

Never once have I heard this before...(?)
verify your current stable release of Sonoma including bug fixes, security updates is macOS 14.6.1 - I would start there
Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support

—Quit Safari and relaunch it holding the Shift key down
—Try a different browser and compare your results.
To drill down further on your issue you can:
—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
***if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect the charging cable before booting to Safe Mode.
This will make it act as a wired keyboard and will result in a successful Safe Boot mode.
unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
