Do you have client-side error logging setup? I find it very hard to believe you wouldn't encounter any browser bugs, or bugs due to external applications fucking around with the browser.
To give an example, I've seen lots of "antiviruses" inject code or perform unexpected DOM changes, causing certain things to break.
Other times a user shows up with a heavily tweaked browsers that behaves differently from what you'd expect.
- ggregoire 9y agoYes with Sentry. Also I don't make websites but b2b applications and I can so target the last browsers versions and most of our users don't try to tweak stuff.
- vtange 9y agoWhat sort of "antiviruses" inject stuff in browsers? Do they inject their own JS? This is the first I've heard of this and would like to know more.
- scrollaway 9y agoShitty browser extensions mostly. It's like 99% of our sentry errors as well.
- TheAceOfHearts 9y agoI don't remember which vendors were causing it, but yes, many inject their own JS, causing things to break and exceptions to be thrown. Here's a StackExchange question: "How to disable Kaspersky Antivirus javascript injection?" [0]. And on Reddit: "PSA: Kaspersky injects remote javascript into all your pages. Even secure ones." [1].

- chairmankaga 9y agoCan also attest to this, had plenty of head-scratching issues before I realized on my home computer using kaspersky why our app was breaking.
