Tab Loads Instead of a Page

What are you trying to accomplish

When I try to load a page on a Android device, a page tries to load as a tab (Please see attached image) and never loads a actual page because of it. I used to work fine so I am curious if a bug was introduced in the later versions of the sitespeed.
When I manually select the tab to load, then it works fine.

Hi @2343909 could it be a setting on your phone? I tried with Chrome 135 and I cannot reproduce.

[2343909]

Hi @soulgalore Hmmm, I use I script with selenium (example.mjs) to load a page. I have not been changing any settings on the phone but I will take a look...
Script:

/**
 *
 * @param {import('browsertime').BrowsertimeContext} context
 * @param {import('browsertime').BrowsertimeCommands} commands
 */
export default async function (context, commands) {
    const seleniumWebdriver = context.selenium.webdriver;
    const By = seleniumWebdriver.By;
    const seleniumDriver = context.selenium.driver;
    
    await commands.measure.start('Homepage');
    await commands.navigate('https://www.sitespeed.io/');
    await commands.wait.byPageToComplete();
    await commands.measure.stop();
}

I cleared the cache on the browser and that seamed to help. Not sure if this will be a long term fix.

The issue came back so I am just handling the tab within the script. Still not sure why it loads the browser as a tab. The phone settings appear to be fine.

Hmm this is strange I haven't been able to reproduce it.
