Hi @gcb, I've narrowed the issue to timezone spoofing. For now, you should disable it on Google Flights. Timezone spoofing can cause some tabs to crash.

@sereneblue indeed setting timezone to 'default' worked around it! thank you.

is this already being tracked somewhere? I failed to find anything but would like to take a look at the code later this week.

@gcb There are a few Github issues related to timezone spoofing. For other Google sites, it's mentioned on the wiki: https://sereneblue.github.io/chameleon/wiki/known-issues. Timezone spoofing works by monkeypatching the native Date object. It's a "hack" that is the cause of a lot of issues and will likely be removed in Chameleon v0.30.0.
