How can I solve the issue of safari reloading web pages - and then an error message?

Since last week safari has started reloading pages on my mac and this will be followed by an error message. It doesn't happen on every webpage - i first noticed it on pages that have adverts running but now is on many more. I haven't changed any settings and all apps/system is updated. I am running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 - it is definitely a browser issues as I can run the same pages in chrome. I have deleted all cookies and cache and browser history - but still no joy. It would be good if there was a fix as all my passwords work in safari but cannot access in chrome. Any ideas? (p.s I disable java script and didn't get the reloading but then i couldn't access content on the page such as a video)

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Hi 


This may help.

In Safari 14.1 there was a bug in the version last week of April that caused problems with sites that use JavaScript. This included banks, ebay and others.   I have posted a summary on the recent situation that caused page load issues  including tests to identify the problem version of Safari, workarounds  and an updated solution including how to find the update download. NOTE: Scroll /read to the end for a recent update and summary, first solution was a workaround.
