Why is Chome devtools automatically blocking a request?


I am trying to build a PWA (Progressive Web App) but the Chrome devtools console is warning that it is blocking my css and icon file.

Request was blocked by DevTools: "https://example.com/styles/style.css".

I cannot find any information about this happening automatically and, to my knowledge, should only happen if the user has manually requested to block a script. Chrome does not offer any other information about the warnings other than being blocked.


Solution

  • This error means the domain or URL has been blocked in the devtools. Most of the time, it's just because the developer blocked the request without paying attention.

    To unblock it, just follow these steps:

    Chrome Inspector - Unblock Request URL
