(log while trying to browsering)

Additional context
If i stop the Chrome loading, and do ctrl + shift + R which is a page reload without cache, it loads normally

What i already did
Change CD version (i tried dev and 0.44.0)
Host machine update
Docker update
Force recreate the container
Private navigation (to see if the problem still occurs, and it stills occur...)
Tried with Edge and Firefox

Note
I'm running 16 container including CD, none of them got that kind of bug

Notes

The container browser-chrome and playwright-chrome was added yesterday, the issue was already here
CD is still doing his job and send me email when change occurs
It's only navigation through webUI related

If you need anything else, i'll be glad to provide you more informations !
Thanks !

[dgtlmoon]

it's mainly because CD is a 'single threaded app', so sometimes doing other stuff can block it, it's a major refactor due to the simple storage backend, which is highly unlikely to be redone just now unless you can provide a pull request

this will always happen when you are doing something else that is sort of 'not normal situation', like you are accessing browsersteps but the browserless/chrome is not setup correctly

are you doing something like this?

I move this to discussions because it cant be fixed right now, but i'm open to ideas (discussion)

[Antoine2tt]

Thanks for telling me about why it mooved to discussions ^^

Unfortunatly, i'm not into dev things :(
But i got it, seems heavy to do !

Well (sorry english not my first language !) if you're talking about the two chrome containers, the bug existed before i add them !

The unfortunate thing is that i know this "bug" was not always here, but i can't tell since when it is

I don't know if that can help, but the host is running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
16GB of RAM
AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE
NVME 512GB

Using htop, and also Prometheus (Grafana), i'm not seeing my CPU getting too much load
(idk if i got what you said right !)

i'm only watching 4 website (one more on the screen i sent earlier, french simple blog)

So i guess i'll keep on trying things ! ^^

[Antoine2tt]

Fun fact : It seems like it's only the icons/image that cause the endless load thing, as you said, since it's a 'single threaded app', maybe that it cause kind of a loop (trying to get thoses icons), and it blocks everyting else ?
Anyway, i keep on looking for more !

[Antoine2tt]

Very sorry for the flood, i have no issue with my phone.
Well, that's interesting since my phone is connected to the same network with my computer, both are using chrome, and i even test with private navigation on my computer (which means no add on, no cache...)

I'll keep you updated

[Antoine2tt]

@dgtlmoon
Sorry to ping you, since the mobile version seems to have no issue at all, are they any way to "test" the mobile version using my desktop browser ?

[Antoine2tt]

Seems like it has been fixed @dgtlmoon
Thanks

[Antoine2tt]

Btw @dgtlmoon
It was an antivirus problem, i'm using Sophos.
Sophos isn't telling my anything about what it is doing, but adding my local server to the exclusion list of Sophos solve the issue, if anyone else have that kind of issue and is using Sophos, you know what to tell ;)
