Google Chrome 96 was released yesterday, and users are reporting problems with Twitter, Discord, and Instagram caused by the new version. BleepingComputer reports: The issues have been reported to Google in a Chromium bug post where Google employees have started to investigate the problems. “We’re continuing to see user reports about this behavior, including reports from our social team,” notes Google product manager Craig Tumblison. “One user has shared that disabling the “chrome://flags/#cross-origin-embedder-policy-credentialless” flag resolves the behavior. Another report shares a specific error message: “The connection was rejected at https://cards-frame.twitter.com”. Test team, would you be able to try enabling that flag to see if the behavior appears?”
The ‘chrome://flags/#cross-origin-embedder-policy-credentialles’ flag is related to a new Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy feature released with Chrome 96. Google states that you can fix these bugs in some cases by setting the “chrome://flags/#cross-origin-embedder-policy-credentialless” to disabled.
