Website popup is blank for Chrome - google-chrome

Our application uses a popup window to show a report. This works in every browser except Chrome.
In Chrome the URL in the Network tab of the inspector has a blank response. I also see Chrome loading an inject.preload.js script from disk cache?
This exact same page works in Firefox and Safari as well. I haven't been able to check IE yet (i'm on a mac today).
What is this inject.preload.js script and why would Chrome not load a URL in a popup?
The exact same code running staging servers works, the popup loads just fine. In production it works everywhere except Chrome. Both staging and production use SSL, have the same config, etc.
I unfortunately can't link as its a secured site.

Inject.preload.js is generally some sort of adblocker. It could be the case that its acting up and blocking your popup. If it is the case, it would show as an icon to the right of the address bar.

DevTools causing browser to freeze

I have some weird thing going on in my machine. When loading a specific website at work and opening the Chrome devtools, the website's tab gets frozen, Chrome task manager shows > 100% CPU usage and all is frozen and unusable.
I’ve tried the following, none worked:
Disabled all extensions
Cleared cookies
Restarted Chrome
When loading the same URL with devtools in Incognito mode, all is splendidly working and smooth as butter.
What can be the problem here? I'm using Chrome version 79.0.3945.130, which is currently the latest

PDF-files on server will not open when link is clicked in browser

I've got a pdf on the network server that I'd like to view it in my browser. I do NOT want to download the pdf to view it.
I have the following link:
Click me!
It works and opens perfectly in Chrome, yay! (although it seems like it's only working when I'm logged on using my google-account)
When I click the link in Firefox, nothing happens, less yay...
If I, in Firefox, right-click the link, choose "Copy Link Location" and paste the link into the address field, it opens the pdf just fine.
I've tried using zero and up to 6 of those pesky / after file: just for making sure... I was desperate...
The plug-in for Acrobat Reader is up to date.
The reason for this not working is because of the security feature not allowing cross-usage of the protocols http:// and file://.
To solve this in Chrome, download a plugin called LocalLinks (link).
For Firefox, there is currently no solution afaik.
For Safari (versions 6+), you could possibly activate the Develop-menu for safari (open preferences, choose advanced and then check the box for "Show develop menu in menu bar") and then enable the option "Disable Local File Restriction". However, this is an untested solution.

Firefox will load webpages once, but will not render page correctly when refreshed

I have created a site that seem's to work fine in Chrome, IE and Safari however in Firefox v 35.0.1 (on PC and Mac), pages will load fine the first time, but if a Ctrl-F5 refresh is done, the browser will only load parts of the page. I can't get it to reload the page again correctly unless I navigate away from the page and then navigate back to it.
Go here on Firefox 35.0.1 and try reloading the front-page (or any other page for that matter) with Ctrl-F5 a few times...

If you don't manage to create a broken page by refreshing it, I'd be keen to know about that too.
On re-loading firefox misses out images and styles in an inconsistent manner, or just displays a 'connection was reset' message over and over again until eventually it decides to part-load the page again. While Firefox is displaying a 'Connection was reset' message, other browsers still have no problem loading and re-loading the same pages.
If this is ultimately resolved as a server issue outside of answers to this question, then I will post any info I have regarding the solution as an answer here.
UPDATE
Here is a link to a video of this occurring on every page of the site, plus a broadband speedtest showing 60Mb+ download speeds...

Yes, my computer is thrashing during this video, but the loading results are the same on PC's and Macs which are running properly too.

IT Hit WebDAV AJAX Library on Chrome becomes unresponsive

I am experiencing an issue with opening a Microsoft Office Document, using IT Hit WebDAV AJAX library, in latest Chrome 39.0. running on Windows OS. It is a sporadic issue that occurs only in Chrome, and it happens when one opens a document multiple times. Word instance won't start, the page freezes and browser becomes unresponsive, and Chrome suggests killing the page. The only solution is restarting the browser, which solves the issue.
I have tried opening a document in Chrome on Mac OS X, and it is working fine. So are Mozilla and Safari on all operating systems. It seems to be a Chrome + Windows issue only.
Has anyone experienced this issue and is there a fix?
The Microsoft Office plug-in that opens the document displays a warning popup "Some files can harm your computer.", which is a modeless dialog:
If you quickly click on a link that opens the document more than one time the dialog will hide behind the main web browser window. As a result the web browser window is blocked.
You need to switch to that dialog and confirm or reject document opening, otherwise after some time Chrome will ask you if to kill the page or wait.
Note that there is no way to avoid that dialog, this is a built-in MS Office functionality as far as I know.
Chrome will only work good with ITHitWebDAV if the user has got Office 2013 or superior.
Google is blocking all Java applets and NPAPIs now, so good luck with that. I just detect the browser of the user that wants to edit a document, and if it's chrome, I warn him to change to another browser like Firefox with a modal, and that's all.
Very poor support between Chrome and ITHitWebDAV, and no much you can do about it.

SSL HTTPS Padlock Visible In IE, Firefox, Safari, but Not In Chrome

I have a webpage (php form using yii framework) secured by ssl that shows an SSL padlock with a yellow alert in Google Chrome. I have not been able to identify the problem and am stumped. It seems to be related to my page and is specific to Google Chrome (other browsers work fine).
Troubleshooting so far:
Eliminated Cache as the Cause
Completely cleared my Google Chrome cache to ensure that previously loaded components were not causing the problem.
Tested the page on a separate machine to confirm that the alert is visible on a different system not related to my machine. Alert on page was generated on separate system.
Scoped the Problem to an Element on My Page
Setup a simple page under the same domain, successfully generated the padlock.
Tested failing page at https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php and the script indicates that all components are called securely. No alerts generated.
Scoped the Problem To Google Chrome
Tested in Internet Explorer - No alerts
Tested in Safari - No Alerts
Tested in Firefox - No Alerts
Does anybody know of a page element that will cause an alert (broken padlock) in Google Chrome, but not in Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox?
