Open 1st tab , no problem. 2nd (and successive tabs), spinning circle. Just started late last week, 7/2/20. Anybody else seeing issues?

@bernieol ,

Have you tried disabling the Webroot extension to see if that’s actually the root of this issue? Could you try removing and then re-adding the extension if it is in fact the cause of the problem?

@bernieol ,

So after re-adding the extension you no longer have the loading tab issue?

That is correct. Do you guys run a regression test bed when you release updates? This problem was pretty severe to me being able to use Chrome.
