Connection Issue in Chrome after Clearing Cache

If, after clearing the Chrome browser cache and re-sideloading or redeploying, you still have issues connecting, then Chrome users should disable the SameSite by default cookies flag.

To disable the SameSite by default cookies flag in Chrome:
  1. Open Chrome, and in the URL address bar, type:
    chrome://flags
  2. Locate the SameSite by default cookies option and set it to Disabled.
  3. Restart Chrome for the change to take effect.

Note:

Beginning with Chrome 91, the SameSite by default cookies option in chrome://flags is no longer available and is enabled by default.

The workaround, which will be available until Chrome 95 is released, is to launch Chrome via the command prompt with the --disable SameSiteByDefaultCookies parameter:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application>chrome.exe --disable-features=SameSiteByDefaultCookies
