[Bug] the site chat.z.ai won't open.

[person12675]

Describe the bug

I had opened this issue before but it was closed with the assumption that the problem likely originated from the site and had since been resolved. That's why I had to reopen it. You might even think I intentionally opened a false issue, but that's not the case. Previously Qwen wasn't working and I reported that too—here's the issue: #6106

The site chat.z.ai won't open. First the site logo appears in the middle of the screen, then only a black screen is shown. The tab, bookmarks, and favorites also don't show the site icon. The site is probably not being downloaded correctly. By the way, other browsers open the site without problems.

How to Reproduce

1. Type https://chat.z.ai into the address bar.
2. Press Enter.

Expected behavior

The page should be displayed.

Environment

- DDG App Version: 5.246.0
- Device:
- OS: Android 13

@person12675 Please supply more information in order to investigate the issue.
You have not supplied your app version, device or OS version. A recording of the issue would also help.

If you are using a VPN, see if it works with it disabled.

I'm using the stock Android 13 ROM. I'm using a firewall that uses Android's VPN service. Firewall settings are the same for all browsers. The site opens in other browsers. App version: 5.246.0

A screen video won't help because after the site logo appears for 2 seconds the site turns to a black screen, while the browser UI (address bar, etc.) remains visible.

@person12675 Your WebView version may be out-of-date, update it and try again: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview
