Description

For every URL visit in Chrome, I see a red (cancelled) request to vomnibar.html, listed in the Chrome Developer Tools, in the Network tab.

Url: chrome-extension://dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb/pages/vomnibar.html
Method: GET
Status: (Cancelled)
Initiatior: ui_component.js:46
Size: 0B
Time: 106 ms

It would be nice to eliminate this noise from the dev tools, esp. in those cases when I don't use vomnibar at all.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the cancelled request in Chrome Developer Tools and inspect the request initiated at ui_component.js:46. Trace how vomnibar.html is requested and determine what change would prevent the unwanted Network entry; done means visits no longer produce the cancelled request, including when vomnibar is unused.
