HTML5 not working with Voila

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

A colleage/tester for one of my HTML5 games reports that it will not load with Chrome+Voila. When he disabled or removed Voila, the game worked.

Voila is the AI assistant for Chrome, so must have some kind of hooks into every page that is loaded. I will try to replicate it, but it seems pretty nasty. I have another tester who cannot get it to load, but we have not figured it out yet. It is very frustrating. History_C-E

So far, I have not been able to quite replicate it. I installed Voila on Chrome, got an error once or twice, but reload worked. Below is one of the errors, but it seems pretty random.

I was able to replicate it – with Voila in the browser, none of the buttons work. The page loads, all works fine, but the UI does not respond to any input. Turning off the Voila extension, (and reload) the UI works. Turning it back on, (and reload) the UI doesn’t respond.

So, it appears this is not being fixed in html5, and more and more users are using Voila (AI extension). Is there hope that this will be resolved, or do I need to think of switching to Defold? Perhaps no one uses the html5 except me? (The fonts don’t work after version 2024.3711 either, as I wrote in a different post.) A third issue that I correct for, but is annoying is the different vertical alignment of text and graphic objects in Chrome – and different for Safari and Firefox. A really annoying challenge. Perhaps this is why html5 has been in beta for several years?
