Yahoo Finance Portfolios not working

Recently (within the last week), Yahoo finance "My Portfolios" stopped working with Safari on my iMac. It works fine with Firefox. I'm running macOS Sierra, v 10.12.1, on a mid-2010 iMac 21.5", Safari v 10.0.1


When I select one of my portfolios from the Yahoo list previously created, I get a spinning indicator with "Loading..." beneath it, but it never finishes. The same thing happens with all of my previously created Yahoo portfolios with Safari yet they all work with Firefox.


Anyone else having this problem?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

I am having the same issue with versions of Safari 13. I believe it just started within the past few days.


Portfolios will load normally and as expected in computers running versions of Safari 14.


Aside from using a different browser, one workaround for Safari 13 (and I'm assuming Safari 12) is to enable Developer menu in Safari, then select a different 'User Agent' from the Developer Menu. It doesn't seem to matter which one you choose - but I went with 'Firefox - MacOS' or 'Google Chrome - MacOS'. After that, Portfolio will load normally in Safari 13.


I'm assuming something changed on Yahoo's end and it might eventually get fixed. I don't know why it seems to be effecting only Safari and only versions prior to 14, but selecting a different User Agent will fix it for now.
