Problems when accessing KiwiSDR from macOS Tahoe 26.1
I am no longer able to access KiwiSDR reliable when using Safari. It connects but nothing appears on the screen. Ocassionally the Kiwi screen shows up but acts extremely slowly. Firefox and Chrome work just fine, only Safari has any problems. Problem shows up accessing the admin screen also.
As Tahoe was a major release I am wondering if major changes were made to Safari that affect connecting to KiwiSDR? As I run DigiSkimmer I normally don't keep my two Kiwis online, but I can for testing.

Anyone else?
I run Mac OS Sonoma 14 (old) because I can't risk Apple breaking my development machine.
In the past I've had Firefox suddenly stop playing Kiwi audio. Had to restart it to clear the problem. So try restarting Safari. Also, while on the Kiwi page, hold shift and click the clockwise-circle icon to flush the cache. This has cleared problems for in the past also.
Your suggestion fixed things for KiwiSDR 1. However it didn't work for KiwiSDR 2. I restarted the KiwiSDR software but it made no difference.
You did the cache flush while connected to the Kiwi-2?
Yes. And now Kiwi-1 is exhibiting the same issue.
It doesn't happen on my Mac running Ventura. However it happens on both my MACs running Tahoe.
Much as I hate to, I guess I will use Chrome to access my Kiwi's. Hopefully Apple will unmake the change to Safari that is causing this issue.
jks, thanks for your help!

An update. My MacBook Air running 26.01 works fine. Appears that they have made a change in 26.1 Safari that is causing this issue.
Same here on a Mac with Tahoe 26.1 and Safari 26.1 - using Vivaldi browser fixes this problem. Apple again botched its browser.
