Description

In edge, an angular app is re-initialized each time the user switches tabs while the global sidepanel is open. In chrome, the app is not re-initialized (expected behavior)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Clone the repository at https://github.com/bjohnsonfrontsteps/extension-issue
  • npm install
  • run ng build
  • load unpacked the www output folder in both chrome and edge
  • click the extension to open the sidepanel. (this displays the reload count in the UI)
  • In edge, with the sidepanel open, switch between tabs and notice the reload count increment.
  • In chrome, with the sidepanel open, switch between tabs and notice the reload count remain at 1.

OS: [MacOS, Windows 11]
Browser [Edge]
Version [Version 130.0.2849.68 (Official build) (arm64)]
