Other users have reported that Discord features are also partially broken, with the web app feeling slower and the loading icon not appearing correctly.
Google is aware of the issues
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.
If you are affected by these issues, you can copy and paste the above chrome:// address into the Google Chrome address bar and press enter. When the experimental flag appears, please set it to
Disabled and relaunch the browser when prompted.
If this policy is related to the issues seen on Twitter, Discord, and Instagram, Google will likely push out a configuration change to disable the feature until they resolve the conflicts.
