Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with the 4.31.0-20250414 Selenium Grid Docker or Kubernetes deployment and Chrome. Investigate why gstatic.com/generate_204 opens during a test, then verify the behavior in an environment where that URL is blocked; no specific source file or test is identified in the issue.
