Safari request logins for every new tab

Big Sur 11.4. Safari Version 14.1.1 (16611.2.7.1.4).


  1. I launch Safari > Login to Gmail, eBay or any other site > Login Successful.
  2. Open New Tab and if i go to gmail or eBay or the site that i had open in the first tab, it wants me to login again, so login session seems limited to just the original tab.
  3. I close Safari launch same website again and it wants me to login again.


Downloaded Safari Technology Preview and it works fine.

    And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and 

    the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.


3. Clear History
