Search results don't load on canadiantire.ca

I couldn't figure out why when I went to canadiantire.ca and tried to search for glue all I saw was spinning circles. Version showed 0.0.6. Noticed there was a slider in settings regarding collect errors. I went to another computer that has Brave browser installed and the 0.0.6 extension and it had no such problem.

Thanks for reporting! I'm sorry to say I cannot reproduce the issue. When I visit http://canadiantire.ca on a desktop Chrome, it redirects me to https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/homepage-themes/2020/D320-sourcepage-ontario-may09.html. I then type glue in the box that says "What are you looking for today?". I hit Enter and am taken to a search-results page. I wait for a few seconds, then get a screenful of results. This is with v0.0.6 on Chromium 81.0.4044.138 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) on Ubuntu 18.04.2.

Would you please try again, and try with the extension disabled, and see if you still have the problem? If so, please give us your chrome://version information and more details of the steps you followed that triggered the error. Thanks very much!

Thanks! The "Collect errors" status doesn't make a difference on my system, but it's always possible Chromium could be doing something strange.

Thanks in advance for the additional testing! Extension interactions are always a possibility.

Thanks for investigating further - glad you figured it out! I think, then, that this issue can be closed. Do you agree or not?

Just a clarification about "collect errors".
It's for developers. You only see it if you enable "Developer mode" on chrome://extensions/
It tells chrome to keep track of javascript errors on any page of that extension (background, popup, settings page if you have one, etc...). It displays an "Errors" button (next to "Details" and "Remove") when it has collected errors.
