Is ActiveInbox not loading in Safari?

You might find ActiveInbox is struggling to load in the most recent Safari update. They’ve blundered, and we can’t rescue it (yet).

They’ve firmed up their security to match Chrome – which is awesome – but they haven’t left a way for an extension like us to work (which Chrome did). It’s almost like they didn’t realise the consequences of their actions – there’s simply no documentation for us developers.

In the short term, here’s a workaround:

  1. Open Safari’s Preferences
  2. Go to the Advanced tab. Enable ‘Show Develop menu in the menu bar’.
  3. Back in Safari, go to the Develop menu. Enable ‘Disable Cross-Origin Restrictions’.

We’re trying multiple approaches to solve this properly, but I have a hunch we need Apple to realise their oversight and roll out a new version of Safari (we have filed a bug report).
