Safari v15 (on desktop) -> threejs bug

See original GitHub issue

As of Safari 15 (Desktop) something having to do with OpenGL causes a total browser failure.

(Sorry I don’t have better information, feel free to delete this and create a more helpful ticket once more info becomes available)

A problem repeatedly occurred with “site url” [ reload webpage button ]

notes:

Mobile safari v15 works fine.
Chrome / Firefox browsers appear unaffected by whatever this is.

Live examples

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

visit one of the following official three js showcase websites in safari v15 on OSX

I found that enabling Develop > Experimental Features > GPU Process: WebGL in Safari 15 fixes the error. Why it’s not enabled by default is a whole separate question, but I’m hoping this will get fixed by Apple soon. webgl-flag

One more update here. With GPU Process: WebGL turned off in Safari 15, and updating my project’s three version to "0.132.2" (from "0.112.1") the error is fixed for me.
