I tested on Mac with chrome/brave/edge/firefox and they seem to work. Safari on mac does not work, neither does iOS Safari or Chrome (same engine). Safari on mac throws this error:
I traced it down to some lookbehinds we have on regexes (both We have a lot of lookbehinds in our parser so that's definitely not easy to refactor, and I can see in Safari over a dev build that these are a problem: |

This isn't right, the user agent for chrome under macos is 'mozilla/5.0 (macintosh; intel mac os x 10_15_7) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, like gecko) chrome/100.0.4896.75 safari/537.36'

Brave is also the above.
Firefox is "mozilla/5.0 (macintosh; intel mac os x 10.15; rv:98.0) gecko/20100101 firefox/98.0".
Safari is "mozilla/5.0 (macintosh; intel mac os x 10_15_7) applewebkit/605.1.15 (khtml, like gecko) version/15.4 safari/605.1.15"

I've updated this check and can verify it works as follows:
MacOS:
- Safari shows the
Safari based browsers based are not supportedmessage - Chrome, Firefox and Brave don't
iOS:
- All browsers show the
Safari based browsers based are not supportedmessage.

Just for the record, I confirmed the demo site now works on Ubuntu in both Firefox v99.0 and Brave v1.37.116 (Chromium 100.0.4896.127). |
