Browser Update Causing Missing IQ Tabs

Written by William Pelino

Issue

A recent Chrome browser update (version 146.x) is causing blank screens and missing or unstable menus in IQ-enabled applications.

Technical Details

  • Chrome version 146.x removed support for third-party storage partitioning workarounds as part of its Privacy Sandbox initiative.

  • IQ-enabled applications rely on a cross-storage mechanism to share menu data across different domains. With this update, the intermediary hub is restricted to partitioned (empty) storage, preventing access to required menu data.

  • As a result, applications may receive null or missing menu data, leading to blank screens or incomplete navigation.

User Impact

The browser update exposed limitations in the existing cross-storage implementation.

  • Applications may display blank screens

  • Menus may be missing or unstable

  • Navigation may be limited or unavailable

  • Previous workarounds are no longer effective

Resolution

  • A fix has been implemented to restore access to shared storage.

  • The update enables the intermediary hub to request storage access before initialization. Once granted, the application can access the required menu data, restoring normal functionality.
