Iframes do not load on MacOS, javascript error

[miloksa]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open new vault
2. Try to embed a website (Any website will do) using the “Embed web pages” guide on Obsidians help page.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes, tried it with multiple new vaults and existing ones in restricted mode.

Expected result

I expect to see an embedded website in my note.

Actual result

Nothing. Pressing enter creates space for an iframe to exist but it doesn’t load.
