I also posted this on the MBAM forum.
The NoScript extension is reported on the Hackademix forum website (InformAction) as breaking Chromium browsers as of today (03/02/22) with the new update.

From the dev’s comment on https://forums.information.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26513&start=21:
The developer has identified an issue with a recent Chrome change that broke its new update. When he tried to unpublish the new version on Google Play, the NoScript page disappeared there. He provided a fix. He is working on 11.2.18 and will release it as soon as possible.
Basically the problem is that the extension (and I imagine other extensions that rely on accessing file URLs) stops working properly, which prevents websites from being fully functional, although ‘they can show up (Gmail won’t load if you try to open the page – loading is blocked, MBAM forum will load but you won’t be able to post and stuff etc). You must disable the extension and move to #5 before re-enabling it. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to remove it and reinstall it.
He provided a download to this version https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/releases/tag/11.2.16
If you are installing NoScript during this issue, follow these instructions. Click on an image to enlarge it without being sent to another page.
1. After that, extract the file (I used 7zip) to a local directory (you can choose or create one).

If I frustrated you, then I must be a student. If I passed on information or a skill to you, then I must be a teacher. If I helped you, then I must volunteer. If I touched your life, then I must be happy!
If you had to choose between saving only your family or saving 10,000 GOOD people (but not your family), which would you choose?
