Macbook Pro (16-inch, 2019) Screen Flickering/Flashing/Blinking

After the Big Sur 11.0.1 update the screen started flickering at randomized times. The problem increased with the Big Sur 11.1 update. Especially with Safari and Chrome , it happens more when browsing some websites or watching full screen youtube videos. I could not find any solution. I read the articles and comments of those who have similar problems on Youtube and forums. Is the problem software or hardware? It's sad to have problems like this on a new computer.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.1

I realized that I do not have a screen flickering problem when using a different browser such as microsoft edge. Forums and tech web sites have long been full of problems from those who have had similar problems with updates. It is a pity that such an annoying problem for a long time could not be solved by such a large company.

It sounds like it may be an issue with the software using the hardware accelerated feature. The browser should have an option to disable "Hardware GPU Acceleration".
