Inconsistent: Console Inspector freezes

mrmanafon

I cannot give you a reproduction. If you have any ideas, please do tell 🙂

I am currently working on multiple frontend projects, and I attempt to use Orion (as opposed to Chrome) as my primary driver, to correct the misconception that Chrome is needed for development.

Often, I would leave the inspector, or network tab, or console open for hours. Sometimes I'd close my laptop and go home and open it. Sometimes I go watch a movie and then come back to work.

Very often, 2-3 times every day, I experience that the inspector gets stuck. It is still clickable, i can switch Inspector tabs etc - but the contents are frozen in time. I can reload the tab to no end, the inspector/console/network will never update. I can also close it and open it.

The only thing that fixes the issue is literally copypasting the URL into a new tab or window.

I can relate to this. I'm using Orion as my daily driver, but when I have to do front-end development with the web inspector, I have to switch to Firefox or Safari. Orion's web inspector consantly fails to load or get's stuck.
