Chrome and Edge crash with esp-web-tools (including the demo)

[yanshay]

Today I tried esp-web-tools after a few weeks of not touching it, and noticed both Chrome and Edge crash once the installation is complete.

This happens on Mac. I'm trying to flash an esp32-s3 (wt32-sc01-plus to be more specific). It didn't happen a few weeks back.

It happens both with an application I'm writing and with the example at https://esphome.github.io/esp-web-tools/ .

Just press Connect, select the port, it performs all the flashing and then the browser just crash and cleanly disappears.

I'd doesn't happen every time but it happens most of the times.

Is it due to some new browser update that came out recently? something else?

I think I found what's causing this.

When I use esp-web-tools from the official published bundle, it crashes chrome right after flashing.
When I use esp-web-tools that I built locally the exact same html and binaries work well.

At least when the html and all other files are served locally.
