Thanks.

**How many users reported the problem?**

None, it was just me. I tried several times with the plugin active and the site never displayed. Then using another tab in Chrome opened the site in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and it worked. Tried the normal URL and it would not display. At that point it was reproduceable for me and isolated by [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) so posted this topic. After disabling the plugin the site worked as expected for the normal URL.

**What operating systems and browsers are they using?**  
I am using Chrome on Windows 10.  
Windows 10 Pro 22H2  
Chrome Version 112.0.5615.50 (Official Build) (64-bit)

**The plugin is currently active, are you having problems?**

No, thanks.

I did notice that `Zoom 200% ...` is now enabled and was not before, just noting but don’t think that matters. No need to change.

Is there a way I could see the logs? I would have checked them but don’t think I have access to them even with admin rights? I did check the reports under admin and saw nothing that looked like it would have given me more evidence.
