Complier Problems with Chrome and Edge

[JB395]

Complier loading, display and selection not working for current versions of Chrome and Edge

Note that ad blocking is disabled and these browsers support the compilers perfectly for remix.ethereum.org.

Loading the latest local compiler version and showing the list of compilers on Qmix broke between Chrome version 63 and version 64 (64.0.3282.140 on 2018-02-06). Enabling ads and popups makes no difference on versions 64 and later. One highlighted update for Chrome v64 was (https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/01/nic64#popup-blocker):

Improved Pop-up Blocker I hate tab-unders. You know them, it’s when a page opens a pop-up to some destination AND navigates the page. Usually one of them is an ad or something that you didn’t want. Starting in Chrome 64, these type of navigations will be blocked, and Chrome will show some native UI to the user - allowing them to follow the redirect if they want.

Full list of Chrome v64 changes at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/63.0.3239.84..64.0.3282.119

Hmm, I'm unable to replicate, on Chrome v70 the compiler list seems to load perfectly fine. Maybe try updating Chrome?

No, endless loop of "Loading Compiler". It is probably going to work on iOS, but are you on a PC with Win 10? I have tried across multiple PCs with Win 10 and none work with any version of Chrome > 63.
