Hi all,
today I noticed that there is presumably a bug with the Chrome Extension of Adobe Acrobat when having the Chrome Developer Tools open.
When you open the Developer Tools (F12) and open any page on the internet the network traffic shows a call to chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/data/js/extn-utils.html. This is triggered by the element
<iframe id="adbe-cookies-checker" src="chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/data/js/extn-utils.html" style="display: none;"></iframe>
that the extension embeds on every page. It becomes fairly easy to see if you enable "Group network log by frame" in the settings as the call is made by the iframe.
This request never finishes when the developer tools are open. You can also see see this since the browser tab is spinning for an indefinite time showing the page hasn't successfully loaded yet.
During the whole time the little extension icon at the top of the browser stays grey. Once I close the developer tools the call is resolved and the little icon turns red.
As this issue is preventing some window events from being fired/other javascript code execution since the page never completely loads, it gets extremely troublesome to properly use the developer tools for some pages (including the one I'm currently developing).
Kind regards
Manuel
