Description

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

This happened a couple of times in the last couple of days with different sites.
After a click the page doesn't want to navigate to the next screen.

hard to reproduce consistently

For this case.

1. Go to https://news.google.com/
2. Click on the section world

Expected:
World section is loading

Actual:
The loading stays in limbo, with an animation never ending at the top.

The profile seems to show that the content is blocked on waiting for
https://play.google.com/log?format=json&hasfast=true&authuser=0
which never comes.

Sounds like not a perf bug, then, if this is just content that fails to load. Maybe this is a site bug? :)

(Can you still reproduce? Can you reproduce in Chrome?)

I can't reproduce anymore. :(
