This never used to be a problem before the latest Safari update:
When I try to open a window of the other Gmail account that I am logged into (multiple sign in), it always freezes close to the end of loading it. Really annoying. All the more reasons to use Chrome.
Always forced to use basic HTML mode but it has very limited functionality.

Why not use a proper email client for email rather than a web browser?
"Proper"... 😀
Gmail webmail is great, arguably better than Mail anyway.
That's not a good exuse to face an issue, people have the choice to select the way they like.
Exactly.
I have the same problem. Gmail works fine on all other browser, only Safari is broken. It used to work before on Safari too.
I have a workaround, but it's not elegant at all. You can load the second account in HTML mode. It works but it's ugly and you lose most features of Gmail.
Btw. Contrary to what some users say it is indeed possible to login to two or more gmail accounts, it's called multiple login. It's very useful if you don't want to have several browsers for each gmail account you own. There are many reasons why Gmail is better than a local Mail.app, but it's only evident for heavy mail users I think with many accounts and large inboxes (meaning 30+GB).
Also, Mail has a ton of bugs, for example, this is extremely annoying:

And there is no solution (as you can see above).
Hello,
I solved it with Fluid! I have 3 tabs in the Fluid web browser and it works great. Fluid uses the same webkit as Safari. Fluid is here: http://fluidapp.com/

Like OS X Desktops it is generally best to keep email Inboxes as clear as possible - I empty mine each day.
Why not use Thunderbird - it works very well on all Macs.
Most who switch from web mail to a proper email client never return to web mail.
As you can see, I use Mail.
I have been for years, it's for my work email.
I prefer Gmail. In any case, there's a bug with Gmail and Safari, and it needs to be solved. (There's also a serious bug with Mail, which needs to be solved.)
Also, about emptying your inbox every day: that's the point — so one doesn't have to do that. What if you want to search your previous emails?
I'm sorry, but what you're suggesting is kind of an antiquicated thing to do.
Yeah, well in my case one of my emails has tens of thousands of emails with large files. It is a storage of image and videos from many sources. I don't want to delete them.
Great solution!
and .... it fixed itself. I'm miraculously able to login to multiple accounts again. Who knows what changed but I didn't update anything so I'm blaming Google on this one.
Yes, it got fixed automatically for me too. Perhaps google changed the code on their end. Well done.
I installed the new Safari and it still has problems. I think it's Apple.
Cannot load 2 Gmail accounts at the same time in Safari (multiple sign-in)
