BUG: Chromium Browsers: Issue changing channels with multiple open tabs
There seems to be a problem with CHROMIUM browsers when you change the "active" channel but have other tabs open.
The behavior in FIREFOX is that when you go to the inactive tab, a popup window appears notifying you that the channel has been changed and a refresh is required.
In Chromium based browsers (Vivaldi, Brave, Chrome, etc), the popup appears in the inactive tab - and BLOCKS page loading even in the active tab - until a response is given. With multiple opened tabs, this can be a huge annoyance - especially if you regularly bounce from channel to channel.
Upstream support/devs have been made aware also (see: post in SUPPORT linked below)

If I have two windows/tabs open to Hubzilla and change channels, the non-active window rightly puts up a notice that it needs to reload. But, the active tab hangs and seems to wait for the acknowledgement to be clicked on the non-active window.
(1) Has anybody else experienced this
(2) Is this intentional/expected behavior?
SSE is OFF.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
* Open browser and log in to Hubzilla
* Open second tab and go to Hubzilla
* In one or the other tabs, switch channels (which should attempt to send you to the HQ page on the new channel you selected).
* Behavior: the HQ page will begin to load and "hang". If you switch to the inactive tab, you will receive the "Page requires reload" message with the ability to click "OK". Clicking OK and returning to the other tab releases the "hold" and the page continues loading.
(NOTE: Browser is Chromium based Vivaldi - haven't tried others, yet.) https://zotadel.net/channel/support?mid=b64.aHR0cHM6Ly96b3RhZGVsLm5ldC9pdGVtLzMyMTMyYjdkLWI5ZjUtNGZiZi1hM2IzLTc1OGIxZWUzOGRjOA
