Description

## Issue Report: LogDNA Browser Logging

### Description
There is an issue with the logging mechanism in the LogDNA browser integration. The logs occasionally fail to capture the default context, including location, user information, environment, etc.

### Example Log
![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9e3ab700-53ef-42d6-b43b-ca45782f8464)

### LogDNA Initialization Code
```typescript
const hostname = 'Tradeweb-User-Interface';
logdna.init(CONFIG.logDnaApiKey, {
app: `Tradeweb-User-Interface`,
env: CONFIG.env,
hostname: hostname,
enableStacktrace: true,
enableIpAddress: true,
console: CONFIG.logDnaEnabledLocally
});
if (CONFIG.logDnaEnabledLocally) {
console.log = (message, ...optionalParams) => logdna.log({ message: chalk.green(message, JSON.stringify(optionalParams)) });
console.error = (message, ...optionalParams) => logdna.error({ message: chalk.red(message, JSON.stringify(optionalParams)) });
console.debug = (message, ...optionalParams) => logdna.debug({ message: chalk.blue(message, JSON.stringify(optionalParams)) });
console.warn = (message, ...optionalParams) => logdna.warn({ message: chalk.yellow(message, JSON.stringify(optionalParams))});
console.info = (message, ...optionalParams) => logdna.info({ message: chalk.cyan(message, JSON.stringify(optionalParams))});
}
```

### Automatically Added Context (from documentation)
```json
"sessionId": "d1b69ea3-41c4-4b9b-85e2-32fb94cb219c",
"browser": {
"name": "chrome",
"version": "87.0.4280",
"os": "Mac OS",
"type": "browser"
},
"location": {
"ancestorOrigins": {},
"href": "https://your-web-app/home?q=1234567890",
"origin": "https://your-web-app",
"protocol": "https:",
"host": "your-web-app",
"hostname": "your-web-app",
"port": "",
"pathname": "/home",
"search": "?q=1234567890",
"hash": ""
}
```
### Expected Behavior
The logs should consistently capture the default context, including location, user information, environment, etc.
