Corion,
Just in case this can help tracking the issue that is causing chrome/chromium version 94. and 95. to freeze, I added the launch_arg option and the result is shown below:

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new(
    headless => 0,
    launch_arg => [ " --enable-logging", "--v=1" ]
);

This must be some weird difference between our setups, since I do not get any kind of Chrome freeze with that on either Linux or Windows. Maybe if you launch Chrome with a completely fresh profile (without any plugins), something different shows up? `use File::Temp 'tempdir'; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new( headless => 0, data_directory => tempdir(CLEANUP => 1 ), launch_arg => [ " --enable-logging", "--v=1" ] );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
