Running angular application in VS Code debugger causes chrome to crash

Describe the bug

Currently developing angular applications in VSCode. Working great for long time. On 8/27 or 8/28 - 2 of the more complex applications starting crashing.

I have a simpler application that still worked fine.

The more complex ones would start loading ok, successfully process several pages of code to authenticate and login, then when redirecting to another module, everything would just close down. Chrome would close, the application would stop running in the debugger. No errors or messages.

The application would work just fine if I ran using just Chrome and the angular development server, taking VS code out of the loop.

In VS Code, I set “debug.javascript.usePreview” to false and everything started to work as normal again.

I’m attaching the log file you requested. vscode-debugadapter-14.json.gz

I’m also happy to help with any issues you might have to reproduce this error. My company depends on VSCode and Angular and the great tools you are making.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ‘…’
2. Click on ‘…’
3. Scroll down to ‘…’
4. See error

Update: “debug.javascript.usePreview”: false and the problem goes away for me.

Chrome 86 where this should be fixed was released yesterday; update your browser and you should be good to go.
