Corion, It turns out that the recent google chrome updates are the cause of the problem. The newer version stops responding immediately after you execute the script. I downgraded chrome to an earlier version and things are back running normally.	[reply]

Would you please share the Chrome versions in question here? Both the last one that appears to work and the one that you believe broke things? I use Corion's distribution here from time-to-time, and am about to deploy it for some tests at work in the coming week or so. I'd like to do some testing on the issue before I have our guys deploying software.	[reply]

Stevieb, Chrome version 94.0.4606.81 (64-bit) is the one that is causing the problem. I had to downgrade to version 91.0.4472.123 to resolve the problem, but I am sure that version 93 have worked for me before.	[reply]

Corion, Just in case this can help tracking the issue that is causing chrome/chromium version 94. and 95. to freeze, I added the launch_arg option and the result is shown below: `my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new( headless => 0, launch_arg => [ " --enable-logging", "--v=1" ] );` [download] chrome_bebug.log file `[10576:11820:1029/142219.260:ERROR:chrome_browser_main_extra_parts_met +rics.cc(230)] crbug.com/1216328: Checking Bluetooth availability star +ted. Please report if there is no report that this ends.

This must be some weird difference between our setups, since I do not get any kind of Chrome freeze with that on either Linux or Windows. Maybe if you launch Chrome with a completely fresh profile (without any plugins), something different shows up? `use File::Temp 'tempdir'; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new( headless => 0, data_directory => tempdir(CLEANUP => 1 ), launch_arg => [ " --enable-logging", "--v=1" ] );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
