Bug report: Safari extension not loading after latest update 2024.3.0

Hi there!
After updating Bitwarden to version 2024.3.0 a few days ago, the extension no longer loads properly in Safari. The icon still sits in the toolbar, but when clicking on it, it just opens an empty window with a spinning wheel. It keeps spinning no matter how long I wait.

The stand-alone application still works, and the Chrome extension still works too, luckily.

I’m running Safari Version 15.6.1 on Mac OS 10.15.7

Hope this can be fixes soon, because I use this all the time.

Cheers,
Claude

Probably same as this: Safari Version 15.6.1 (macOS Catalina) extension won't work with latest update 2024.3.0 · Issue #8348 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub

I commented elsewhere that this appears not to be the only problem raised here for versions of MacOS prior to 11 and perhaps including 11.x Big Sur. Is there a statement from Bitwarden on backwards compatibility? I did not find one, and to be fair I consider it an Apple issue.
