Could you elaborate a little here? Are you saying there is something called "Safary" that pops up occasionally? On its own?

I hope I'm misunderstanding you, because otherwise that sounds a whole like some malware has been installed on your machine.

Just fyi, I've got a 2013 MBP running Big Sur (11.6.2) and it's fine.
