It works best on the two most recent versions of these browsers.

So, check for updates and drop in the latest web app release if youre running an outdated version.

Additionally,clear your internet tool cache, disable your extensions and test whether that helps.

Speaking of updates, find out if theres a newer OS version available and install it on your box.

For example, many macOS users confirmed that Big Sur 11.2 fixed this really bothersome issue.
