If you're experiencing a Flex Box layout issue in Safari where profile images are being stretched in a Webflow grid, there are a few suggestions you can try to fix the problem:

Check for vendor prefixes: Make sure you have included all necessary vendor prefixes for the Flex Box properties you are using in your CSS. Safari may require specific prefixes such as -webkit- for some Flex Box properties to work correctly. For example, you may need to use -webkit-box-align instead of align-items.
Use explicit dimensions for images: Specify explicit width and height for profile images to prevent them from stretching. This can be done by assigning fixed dimensions in your CSS or using the width and height attributes in the HTML img tag. By specifying the dimensions, Safari won't rely on the Flex Box layout to determine the size of the image and it will display correctly.
Disable Flex Box for specific elements: In some cases, it may be necessary to disable Flex Box for specific elements, such as the profile images. You can achieve this by applying custom CSS to override the Flex Box properties. For example, you can use display: block to revert the image back to its default behavior and prevent it from stretching.
Consider alternative layout options: If the Flex Box layout is causing persistent issues in Safari, you may need to consider alternative layout options. You can try using a different CSS layout method, such as CSS Grid, or resort to more traditional layout techniques, such as floats or positioning, to achieve the desired layout. Remember to test your layout in multiple browsers to ensure cross-browser compatibility.

These suggestions should help you troubleshoot and fix the Flex Box layout issue in Safari that causes profile images to stretch in a Webflow grid. Remember to test your changes in different browsers to ensure consistent display across platforms.
