twitter.com does not work in CEF 85 ("Something went wrong" error)
Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2020 10:10 am
Hi,
We have recently upgraded from CEF 60 to CEF 85 (to support an app that required minimum CEF 83) - most things work fine now, but have noticed that twitter.com does not work properly. I get an error message saying "Something went wrong" and a refresh button with "Try again".
This is how twitter.com looks like in the minibrowser demo after logging in:
You can see the same error without logging in by just clicking the Signup button.
In the console I get errors like:
I found some references online about the error - but only trial and error type fixes:

I did try to clear the cookies using the Chrome Debugger, on the Application page (Clear storage, Clear site data button). It required me to login again, but then I had the same issue again. Besides when I started the MiniBrowser app, the cache folder was empty.
The same site works fine in an earlier CEF version corresponding to Chrome 60. I've tried modifying the UserAgent string to pretend we're still at version 60, but the same error occurs.
Are you able to reproduce?
Would you like me to open an issue in the github site?
Best regards
