You need to wrap your <Route /> components with <Switch /> component(as per documentation):

      <Switch>
        <Route exact path="/">
          <Home />
        </Route>
        <Route path="/services">
          <Services />
        </Route>
        <Route path="/contact">
          <Contact />
        </Route>
      </Switch>

Solution: 01

You can try using routes instead of Switch.

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route} from "react-router-dom";

 <BrowserRouter>
  <Routes>
    <Route exact path="/" element={<Home />}>
      <Home/>
    </Route>
  </Routes>
</BrowserRouter>

Solution: 02

Did you try wrapping your Route tags in a switch? For example,

<Router>
  <Switch>
    <Route exact path="/" component={Home}/>
    <Route exact path="/register" component={SignUp}/>
    <Route exact path="/login" component={Login}/>
    <Route exact path="*" component={Error}/>
  </Switch>
</Router>

Solution: 03

Switch is replaced in react-router-dom version 6. So that you need to install react-router-dom version 5. Now, your error should be solved.

npm install react-router-dom@5

try this for routing:

import { BrowserRouter, Switch, Route, Redirect } from "react-router-dom";

function App() {

return (
    <div className="app">
        <BrowserRouter>
            <Navbar />
            <Switch>
                <Route path="/post/create" exact>
                     <Form />
                </Route>
                <Route path="/:username" exact>
                    <Profile />
                </Route>
                <Route path="/accounts/edit" exact>
                    {user ? <EditProfile /> : <Redirect to="/login" />}
                </Route>
                <Route path="/direct/:id" exact>
                    {user ? <Direct /> : <Login />}
                </Route>
                <NotFound404 />
            </Switch>
        </BrowserRouter>
    </div>
);
}

 export default App;
