<soapbox> looking at that ticket, the response from google is catastrophic. the guy or gal handling the ticket has no idea about web browsers. the reporter shows up with a complete reproducer and the best google manages is throw clueless screenshots (for a brief fully textual error message no less!) at them? they've already done a bunch of your work for free. get your ass off the heap of money, ffs! </soapbox>

edit: oh, and i lower my hat to you for coming here and taking the heat. appreciated, having a real person to vent at is so special in the case of google...



To be fair, the screenshot does provide additional info, like the fact that they are using file://.. It's often better to include more in a screenshot than less.

I would imagine that the chromium teams probably gets a lot of tickets. That means they need a lot of bodies to triage them. It's not like any Sr. Dev ist going to be jumping at that job.


Yeah, it seems they need to take this issue seriously. Could be a way for hackers as well.
