Does it work in a private window ?

Also try in a new profile.
If that works, its probably some extensions. So remove them and test in a normal window to see which one is causing the issue.

Ok.
I disabled all extensions. (only 6)
didn’t work.
Wound up on Privacy and Security.
Searched for SSA. Most visited and Data stored.
Deleted both
Now works.
