I thought of this after a recent bug I found. I use Vivaldi browser and recently it updated. After the update my mouse cursor was not visible when within the browser window. Other programs worked fine. I tried visual studio and steam and epic game store all had my mouse, Vivaldi didn’t.

I closed all instances of Vivaldi via task nanager(was unable to click the x) and restarted it. That fixed the bug and I haven’t been able to replicate so I don’t have anything to submit for a bug report. Just a really strange thing.

What have been your weirdest bugs?

      My understanding is this is googles attempt to prevent you from accessing their stolen data

          I was thinking more scrapping off a browser, like using selenium. I haven’t checked in a while but previously almost every element on a Google page had randomly generated id/names so you couldn’t like automatically select the input box, type in a few terms and then click on the search button. If you got all the id’s and tried, on the next loading of the page all the id’s would be different.

      That looks unformatted and not scrambled. Last time I used Chromium it didn’t come with a JSON formatter so I had to install an extension for it.

        The text is nonsense though. Look closer, some of the fields are jumbled.

        Chrome does come with a formatter now.
        For example, towards the end there is dItsop with is supposed to be postId

          Oh I see. That’s very random, lol. It’s completely backwards.

          Maybe this Chrome view of the JSON encounters a right-to-left character?
