Waited 20 seconds - stuck at “model loading.” Closed the page. iOS 17.2 with safari.

Added a check for the cameras before prompting the canvas, it looks like that is changing things? Let me know
Same on Safari on Mac
Hey! Was this even with camera enabled? I just ran the site on my Safari MacOS locally and it works. The big thing to wait on is the actual model weights, its ~7.5 MB according to MP website, and i also make requests out to the MP website for WASM stuff
Not the OP, but in Chrome, with my camera permission disabled (i.e. set to "Don't allow sites to use your camera"), I also just get that "Model loading" forever. Once I turned it on manually, it loaded instantly.

Maybe there could be a permissions check and an error message if it's disabled? https://jamesburnside.github.io/blog/detecting-camera-permis...

Edit. My bad. It works on Firefox on Android for me. Not on Vanadium.
Works close to instantly on Chrome on a Pixel 8
