        Are there any other options you possibly have? Sorry, I don’t feel comfortable clicking on random links. 🙏 I know you’re just trying to help, I’m just too new to a lot of this stuff, so I just want to be careful.

        Do you think it could just be my PC? Since it doesn’t seem to be affecting anything else?

          It might be your network, but not sure, which is why I was suggesting try the Cloudflare VPN. Have you tried turning on any VPN when generating?

          Have you also tried changing your browser’s DNS service? DNS is like the phonebook of your browser; it translates the URL to the correct IPs. By default, it would be using your IP’s DNS, but you can change it to Google’s or Cloudflare’s DNS service in the browser settings. Maybe your IP service is flagging the Perchance domain as untrusted, which is why it is throwing those warnings.

          It can also be in your PC, do you have any antivirus/web protection software installed and running? On my end, windows defender doesn’t seem to flag it. Are you also maybe on a private network (i.e. work network/school network)?

          I’ll ping the Dev in case @perchance.

          Can you also try navigating to the Network tab on the Developer Tools? Then try to click generate and see the request to the Perchance server. The name of the request should be generate?userKey=... and please tell if there are any errors there.

            Soooo many things popped up but that was not one of them. It also seems Perchance does not like NordVPN or the other way around. Three errors popped up after hitting generate.

              The fastlane, cookie, and sync seems to be for the advertisements that were added below the page, and on my end those requests were not throwing errors, and the number of requests happens to be fallbacks if one request didn’t complete, they also request in an interval so it would pile up if the network logging is still open. One possibility is that since the ads cannot be added (due to the errors), then the AI cannot be used, since the AI is sustained by the advertisements.

              Are you able to DM me the console logs? On the console tab, you can right click and ‘save as’ and it would give a .log file. On the Network tab, you can also download the logs by clicking the download icon on the top, and it would be a .har file. It would be good if you have the DevTools open, then click the ‘generate’ or use the AI of the page, then copy/save the logs.

              Have you also tried logging into your account in Perchance, this makes it so that Ads wouldn’t be shown and would significantly remove all those ad requests.

            Not even doing anything and I have over 500 requests in the network tab and it keeps going. Not used to coding, is that normal?
