Describe the bug

Since the 21st of June 2024 with version 0.21.0 and up until now (v0.21.1) Freetube doesn't load anything when it is launched behind a proxy

Here is the description of the regression

A big red button in the top Subscription bar is "glowing" while the channel names are slowly appearing in the left column, but with broken image instead of the official logos

The following messages appear and disappear continuously in the bottom of the window

Erreur d'API locale (Cliquez pour copier): TypeError: Failed to fetch

When selecting a channel, the same redish growing button shows in the middle with still the same message regularly appearing in black rounded lines

All the menus are unusable

here is the message that are shown in the console from which freetube was launched:

I think this is a weird bug in Chromium and WebView, not FreeTube.

It can be caused by random CSS.

It seems a bit strange as I don't have chromium installed and FreeTube don't seem to have any dependency with webview nor chromium whatsoever. Moreover, when I downgrade to version 0.20.0, the preloading of channels is working again (but YT hardening of other clients makes it unusable to watch videos)

FreeTube uses Electron (that's why it is able to run on Windows, macOS and Linux) which is built on top of Chromium, although that is probably not the issue here.

Please enter your proxy configuration in FreeTube's proxy settings, instead of using environment variables for it. If you open the dev tools with Ctrl+Shift+I and then take a look at the console tab, it should have more information about the failed to fetch error, I supect it is going to say ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED.

indeed, it works when forcing the proxy through the settings
