How to stop pop up window asking to control safari.app

How do I make this go away permanently? It pops up constantly


“6943440687810041681” wants access to control “Safari.app”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari.app”, and to perform actions within that app.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1
