Windows 11 - Microsoft Edge - hosted site - F12 shows security error

Contribute Bug

In checking what a new user might see on the hosted Discourse site:

SWI-Prolog - Users and developers of SWI-Prolog, an implementation of the Prolog programming language

I was using Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, and the page became stuck on the loading-dots animation:

I opened the browser developer tools with F12 to see whether an error was being reported, and found this:

Discourse v2026.9.0-latest - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/f56aa58f42 - Ember v6.10.1
app.js:367

Uncaught (in promise) SecurityError: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.
    at Object.initialize (dev-tools.ts:53:9)

I normally access the site using Google Chrome, which is working as expected. However, when I want to see the site more like a new user would, I switch to Microsoft Edge, where I routinely clear the cookies and other site data. That detail may be relevant to reproducing the issue.

I am not particularly concerned about this at present, but wanted to note it in case the feedback is useful.
