Google Chrome 96 was released yesterday, and users are reporting problems with Twitter, Discord, and Instagram caused by the new version.
After upgrading to Chrome 96, users report errors in their Twitter notifications, with the website warning that "Something went wrong. Try reloading," as shown below.
The issues have been reported to Google in a Chromium bug post where Google employees have started to investigate the problems.
"We're continuing to see user reports about this behavior, including reports from our social team," notes Google product manager Craig Tumblison.
The 'chrome://flags/#cross-origin-embedder-policy-credentialles' flag is related to a new Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy feature released with Chrome 96.
If you are affected by these issues, you can copy and paste the above chrome:// address into the Google Chrome address bar and press enter.
