I've recently downloaded and cloned the code for the chromium browser on my windows 11 machine.

There seems to be a weird issue where running the chromium browser from the build directory or VS 2022 results in the browser not loading any pages (except from suggestions from the search bar). However, I was able to use autoninja to make a mini_installer and that installed version does load both suggestions from the search bar and will navigate. Does anyone know what can be happening?

This log is spammed when running from the out/Default directory when following the guide about cloning and building the .exe file. I don't get this with the installed version of chromium from the mini_installer with the same exact code it was built from.

The main branch is often unstable. Use one of the release or pre-release tags for checking the stable sources. You can see the tags on https://chromium.googlesource/chromium/src.git on the left pane. Now, the release tag is 134.0.6998.106, pre-release is 135.0.7049.23 and canary tags are 136.0.*

I've recently downloaded and cloned the code

From the question, it's unclear what you have done. On the referenced page:

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.
