I'm assuming by saying "anymore" you imply that it has worked previously on your machine, and suddenly it doesn't?

1) Does it work on any other site? For example lichess.org. 2) Try reinstalling the userscript and make sure it's activated. Try using Violentmonkey as your userscript manager if not already. 3) Do CTRL + SHIFT + C, click on the chess board, right-click the element it highlighted on the element viewer, and click expand recursively. Screenshot this.

Note: You're breaking the ToS of Chess.com by using assistance against real players, therefore they can ban your account based on these screenshots which display your username and the match URL. Using assistance is only allowed against bots!

Exactly

1. Does it work on any other site? For example lichess.org.

Nope :/

2. Try reinstalling the userscript and make sure it's activated. Try using Violentmonkey as your userscript manager if not already.

I use violentmonkey and I'm sure it's activated, since it opens the GUI automatically. I also tried different browsers (Edge, Thorium, Opera). It worked in all of them but now it works in none of them

3. Do CTRL + SHIFT + C, click on the chess board, right-click the element it highlighted on the element viewer, and click expand recursively. Screenshot this.

It's a bit much to screenshot and a hassle to work with, so I copied the code:

Thanks for the warning!

See #9, similar issue?

This is probably related to WASM not being supported for some reason. I'd say it's because of your OS, but then again, if it worked previously and literally nothing changed, I'm out of guesses. I don't have an error message for this, which I really should add, huh.

It could be, and all browsers are chromium based. The only thing that changed is the browser version (I always have the latest version of everything, that's why I love Linux). I'm gonna try it with firefox, because on Windows, it worked...

[tim-gromeyer]

OK, so today I tried it on Linux with Firefox and it worked fine. Should I file a bug on the chromium bug tracker?

[Hakorr]

Should I file a bug on the chromium bug tracker?

If you feel like it. I'm unsure if it's Chromium's fault, but could be.
