chatGPT Plugins Alpha + local plugin crashes Chrome tab

[rare turtle]

Not every time but sometimes when chatGPT decides to use my localhost plugin it calls it fine and then when processing the response, hangs and then crashes the chrome tab with "Aw Snap error code 5".

Seems to get stuck in an endless loop. Same thing happens in Firefox. Occasionally it works but most of the times it hangs.

[rare turtle]

this is where it seems to be stuck. seems to happen when it is trying to update the text on the left hand conversation label

[rare turtle]

seems like it is hanging trying to create a new conversation tab on the left instead of adding chatGPT's response to current conversation.

[rare turtle]

fwiw, only seems to happen when the conversation begins with a call to the plugin.

Bug Report:
Localhost chatGPT extension causes browser to crash.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install commandGPT extension and enable it. (open source version on github under user graiz repo commandGPT )
2. Make sure the localhost server is running python main.py
3. Run chat GPT asking for something simple like "what files are in my local home folder?"

Expected results:

a list of local files.

Actual results:

1. extension loads and correctly requests: {
   "commands": [
   {
   "command": "ls ~",
   "waitForCompletion": true
   }
   ]
   }
2. Server responds with list of local files.
3. A few seconds go by and the browser tab crashes. Entire page and chatGPT have to be reloaded. I have a loom video I can share but it's blocked by moderation on discord. I can send to developer as needed.

Notes:
I'm able to reproduce this fairly consistently. I have a chatGPT extension that can execute local commands in my shell and can also execute local python functions on my machine. The extension works most of the time but occasionally it'll crash the browser (requiring a page refresh, chatGPT crashes too.) The instances where this causes the browser to crash seem to be after my function has returned json. This leads me to think that it's some other function call or request that chatGPT is sending is either triggering a security flag or something else that crashes the browser tab. I don't see anything obviously wrong with the plugin but perhaps this is due to the localhost nature of the dev build?

Browser:

• Edge running on a mac - demo video can be provided as needed. Version 112.0.1722.58 (Official build) (arm64)
• Related issue on Safari - webpage crashes/unresponsive before python function gets called with the error "HTTP call: TypeError: Load failed" browser refresh or browser restart is needed.

Same issue for me on Edge and Safari. I have a demo video and test repo that also shows similar issues. It happens after my extension returns data.
