Description
Visited https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html in the above environment and after a handful of frames updates stop, browser goes blank, and session appears dead. Didn't do any more forensics on it but likely some dribbles around. Viewer instance remains happy and can spin up new plugin/browser instances and try again. But always fails.
Reproduction steps
- Open link in internal browser
- Wait a few seconds

Research direction
Start by reproducing https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html in the internal browser using the reported environment, then observe when updates stop and the browser becomes blank. Done means the WebGL aquarium no longer causes the browser or session to appear dead while other browser instances remain usable.
