Getting CORS Errors from 3 .css sheets

    Everything else loads correctly and podcast play the only issue I get is when I click on podcasts (https://pocketcasts.com/podcasts) nothing appears and this the error in dev console. Appears from the code that all 3 get prefetched from static.pocketcast.com.

  • Thanks for the detailed report, that’s helpful context.

    This looks related to a known issue where certain cross-origin resource requests can fail and cause parts of the web app to not display properly, rather than failing gracefully. Our team has already done work to make the app handle these failures more gracefully, but you may still be hitting an edge case depending on your browser and setup.

    A couple of things to try in the meantime:

    – Hard refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) to clear any cached, broken assets.
    – Try a different browser to see if the issue is browser-specific, since CORS handling can vary between Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
    – Clear your browser cache for pocketcasts.com entirely and reload.

    If the problem persists after trying those steps, it would help our team to take a closer look at what’s happening on your end. Since that involves diagnostic details we can’t collect here in the public forum, please reach out through the app itself: Profile → Help & Feedback → Get in touch → Get Support. That will include the relevant logs automatically so we can dig into the specific cause.

    Let us know if the steps above help in the meantime.

    The logs show 2026-07-09 07:59:40 — Uncaught error: Error: Unable to preload CSS for https://static.pocketcasts.com/webplayer/assets/OptionsHeader-C9T4mLWS.css [object Object]

    Have submitted a bug report through app and referenced this post.

    Here is the full console output for all error related to CSS stylesheets not loading in chrome.
