i was on a website that i visit frequently and all of a sudden it said

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

what is this and how do i fix it? Is this a MS issue or chrome. The website repeats this if i try to go back on it.

i cleared the history but not cookies or cache. i read smething about disabling javascript and then tunring it back on?

Will that create problems with other sites?

is this a permanent error? i can get on the site in Edge so i guess this is a browser problem?

it's obviously not a system failure etc but there was no relevant category for this.

thanks

    What I found was that it was a security issue that came from the website. I fixed it by disabling each program running as so-called protection in my bowser. The culprit was one of the extensions. Look at what is running in your browser extensions.

    In working with the 2nd level tech support at the WSJ, it was determined that the problem was caused by Malwarebytes Ad Browser Guard Ad Blocking that caused the problem.

    The error message you encountered, "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)," is typically related to issues on the user's side rather than a problem with Microsoft or Chrome. It's specific to the website you were visiting. Clearing your browsing history won't likely fix it, but disabling and re-enabling JavaScript might help. However, this could potentially cause problems on other websites that rely on JavaScript for functionality, so it's not a recommended long-term solution. Since the website works in Microsoft Edge, it does suggest that this is more likely a browser-specific issue with Chrome. To potentially resolve the problem, you can try a few things: ensure your Chrome browser is up to date, clear the cache and cookies, and check if there are any problematic Chrome extensions or settings interfering with the site's functionality.
