Description

Today I had two sites on which I couldn't click some links or form controls.

I went through all my extensions, and turned each off one at a time, until I turned off Vue Devtools, and the sites worked.

The sites:

  1. https://www.evri.com/
  • Try filling in the form fields at the top of the page
  • then try clicking Send a parcel
  • it should remain unclickable
  1. https://wrwa.gov.uk/centre-opening-times/
  • try clicking the Home button
  • it should remain unclickable

As soon as the extension is disabled, the elements work again.

Vue.js devtools 7.7.6
DevTools browser extension for Vue.js

Research direction

Reproduce the problem on https://www.evri.com/ and https://wrwa.gov.uk/centre-opening-times/ with Vue Devtools 7.7.6 enabled, then confirm the controls work when the extension is disabled. Trace the browser extension behavior that affects these links and form controls; done means both sites work normally while the extension remains enabled.
