Good question, — and thanks to and for the pointers. An "expected ')'" message is a JavaScript parse error: the browser tried to run a script and found a syntax problem. That problem can come from the page itself, a third-party script (ads, widgets), a browser extension or userscript, or a corrupted cached file. The right move is to gather exact evidence so you (or helpers here) can see where the error originates.

Try this short diagnostic checklist:

  • Reproduce the error while the browser DevTools are open (F12). Copy the full console message, especially the filename and line number reported.
  • Click the file:line link in DevTools to open the source. If it is minified, use the pretty-print button to expand it and inspect the code around the reported line for unbalanced parentheses or stray characters.
  • Check the script origin shown in Console/Network. If the file comes from an extension or a third-party domain, temporarily disable that extension or open the site in a private/incognito window to see if the error disappears.
  • Force-reload (Ctrl+F5) or clear the browser cache in case a corrupted JS file is cached.
  • Test the page in a different browser or on another device. If the error follows you everywhere, capture the console output (or a HAR) and report it to the site with those details.

If you post the exact console text and your browser/version here, I (or others) can point to the specific script and next steps. Do not paste cookies, auth tokens, or personal data.

Might be your JS Debugger is on. Go to settings and trun off JavaScript Debugger.
