Bug Summary

When clicking on a link, a new tab will be opened but the link is not loaded.
In addition, when copying the entire url bar (Ctrl+L,Ctrl+C), it results in about:blank. However, selecting partially the url still works normally (like copying ttps://google or any substring works, but not the entire url).

Another possibly related issue is with downloading media through web panels. It doesn't display any prompt for saving or open PDFs in new tab at all.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a link in web panels
2. Click on it

Expected Behavior

New tab open with links clicked and page is loaded

Actual Behavior

Page is not loaded

Screenshots

Browser Version

11.21.0

I have the same problem. It makes Dashy pretty useless where it would otherwise be amazing.
Keep up the good work, Floorp is amazing!!

I have the same problem. I put my e-mail provider in the sidebar and when clicking a link, a new tab appears, with the correct adress in the url bar. It will load for a short while, and then stop loading and just be a blank tab, content-wise. When copying the url in the url-bar, the clipboard will be filled with "about:blank".

One alternative I found is to drag and drop the link directly in the tab are (using TTS). It will open normaly then.

They are changing the whole codebase in Floorp 12 so let's hope it gets fixed then.
