I haven't reproduced this yet, and there could be a lot of different reasons for this error.

Other pages without connecting to a phone. Then it works, with the debugging the phone, it doesn't work.

Are you connection to a remote device? Can you provide more details about this setup?

[henning-kln]

Yes only on remote devices, on chrome itself it works fine on every page. I tried it on a Google Pixel 7a (Android 14 Beta fully updated) and a Xiaomi A2 (Android 13 fully updated)

[adamraine]

Gotcha, I can reproduce this.

[adamraine]

So I can repro on Chrome Stable (M117), but Lighthouse works on Chrome Canary (M120). @henning-kln can you confirm if using a newer version of Chrome fixes the issue for you?

[henning-kln]

Where can i select Chrome Canary

It doesn't matter which device (Pixel 7a or Xiaomi A2)

[adamraine]

@henning-kln can you provide the full version from your canary if you go to chrome://version/

The error occurs for me when trying to inspect a tab open with Samsung browser. For example, https://www.x.com
