Some page content briefly, then empty page.

Output from the Toolkit Error Console:

Error: ReferenceError: TextEncoderStream is not defined
Source: https://www.diy.com/search?term=plastic+wrap

Here's a Modify HTTP Response filter to fix it.

Code: Select all

[["www.diy.com",["/search/",[".pipeThrough(new TextEncoderStream())",""]],["/chunk.*\\.js$/",["/\\.pipeThrough\\(.*?\\(\\)\\)/g",""]]]]

Thanks, that works! Hope there won't be too many sites like that as it is cumbersome to add a workaround in each case...

We're always workjing on improving web compatibility, but some APIs are just horrendous and shouldn't actually be part of a web browser (the streams API is a good example) but once they are adopted, webmasters will insist on trying to use them because "new and shiny". The best our small team can do is be reactive in what is given priority. "transform streams" is at best tangentially related to normal web traffic (it belongs more in data processing software) and really shouldn't be used for search results pages, but hey-ho it's what we have here.
