FYI: A new chrome release will be made for this. Might take a while due to weekends and someone had uploaded the wrong binary as the new “Version” so the next release might not be the one with the fix.
Currently also having this issue. From a web developer point of view, I thought something was wrong with my code when I opened the DevTools and spent time figuring out it was just the Dark Reader; I would appreciate having this bug fixed so I don’t see an error when I am working in the DevTools Console.
I rely on Dark Reader rather heavily, so I am willing to make time this weekend to start looking into this for a possible patch, but only if someone is able to point me in the correct direction so I’m not chasing my own tail.
