Description of the problem

Preview reloads endlessly in a loop, after I switch on private.

This apparently occurs with Chrome setting Block Third Party Cookies.

I am already allowing to always use cookies from codesandbox.io and csb.app.

Is there anything else specific I could set?

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

I am trying to find out whether we can use CodeSandbox.

To Reproduce

Any sandbox made from static, make one simple change to index.html, Ctrl-S save it.

Your Environment

Chrome 88.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Chrome 88 with a private sandbox, blocked third-party cookies, and a saved change to index.html. Trace the preview reload behavior and identify the relevant entry point; done means the preview no longer reloads endlessly under these cookie settings.
