Auth Lobby fails to complete initialization in Safari 15.5

[jessmartin]

Browser: Safari 15.5 (15613.2.7.1.9, 15613)
OS: macOS 10.15.7 (19H1922)

Ok, I'm having trouble isolating whether this a single issue or multiple issue. I'm going to use this issue to catalogue all the problems for now, and we can create new issues as needed. It seems like all of these issues are related to the fact that we load js-ipfs in an iframe, so we're getting nailed by privacy and cross-origin features.

Mumblr

• Application URL: https://mumblr.app

Hangs on initialize. Fails silently, likely due to inadequate error checking.

Contacts

• Application URL: https://contacts.fission.app

Hangs on initialize. Fails silently, likely due to inadequate error checking.

CBOR Error

At a different point, I saw a CBOR Error, that I can't reproduce at the moment. I did save a screenshot:

Yup, I saw this today, and the one additional bit I saw was websocket failures if you let auth lobby grind away for a while:

@walkah we should probably have someone look into mitigating these browser compat issues - I think they're mostly related to private browsing features in Firefox and Safari and we should really immunize ourselves against them for both the auth lobby case as well as the AOL case. In both cases currently we're using the auth lobby iframe technique?
