Not sure whether it's the cause of the infinite reloading, but that error message is bug #276312.

I've tested WPE MiniBrowser after applying the fix for https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308051 and this seems fixed.

Note that the bug report is for the 2.50.3 version, and the NetworkMDNSRegisterGLib.cpp file patched in 307708@main does *not* exist in the 2.50 branch. The reason for the issue must be something else.

That being said, I cannot reproduce this issue either using version 2.50.5
(currently the latest stable).

@Alejandro: could you try the latest stable and verify that the issue is also
gone for you? Thanks!

@Adrian: My LinkedIn account is still temporarily blocked (possibly due to continuous reloads), but I opened an account with a temporary email address to test it, and now it seems to be working properly. I don't have any contacts, etc. on this account to perform a full check, but after browsing for a while, I haven't noticed any reloads or error logs.

I think it's fixed, thanks to you!

Wonderful, thanks a ton for double checking and going through the effort
of even creating a test account for this. Much appreciated 🙇
