What's included

  • Saved-permission error "A saved user permission setting blocks this action" while Settings and config.toml show Always allow for the origin, persisting after restart

  • Site-safety rejection (site_status_blocked) before any permission prompt on sites such as AliExpress, Taobao, Naver Blog, WeChat and Humble Bundle
  • After manual /approve, Auto-review rejects the next attempt as an unproven retry or a different access path
  • "Saved browser permissions could not be verified" when reading a listed tab after a Windows update

Not included

  • Browser Use rejecting local file:// URLs because only http and https protocols are allowed
  • Native Chrome Computer Use stopping a session because the current browser URL is not allowed
