We have released a new version 1.6.0 of the Tideways Chrome Extension that solves the bug where the popup was closed after calling “Take Profile” and there was no way to get a link to the triggered trace.
With a recent change in Chrome, the popup of the Tideways Extension will now still close, but you can see an “In Progress” Indicator and after the trace has been processed the popup opens again automatically with a link to the trace.
We have also slightly improved the rendering of the list of triggered traces to be more compact.
