Environment Differences
Too Many Redirects Varies Across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari
Too Many Redirects may manifest differently across browsers because each implements web standards independently, with different error messages, different enforcement timelines for security policies, and different handling of edge cases.
Chrome enforces security restrictions most aggressively and first — features deprecated in Chrome often work temporarily in Firefox or Safari. If Too Many Redirects appears only in Chrome, check Chrome's Platform Status page for recent deprecations and the Chrome release notes for your version. Safari's WebKit engine has the most significant divergence from Chromium in areas like WebRTC, IndexedDB transaction handling, and Service Worker implementation. Firefox applies stricter Content Security Policy enforcement than Chrome in some configurations. The canonical debugging workflow: test in a clean browser profile without extensions to rule out extension interference, check the browser's DevTools console for the specific error code, and test across browsers to narrow whether this is a standard-compliance issue or a browser-specific bug. The MDN compatibility table for the specific API is the authoritative source for browser support differences.Optional follow-up
