document.write seems to be deprecated by Chrome.

Upon execution, the console shows the following message: Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'write' on 'Document': This document requires 'TrustedHTML' assignment.

Hi Henk Jan Borghuis 👋

This issue often occurs when working in a new blank tab.document.write() is designed to work within the context of a fully loaded HTML document. When you're working in a new tab, there is no document context, which can lead to this error. You can try visiting any page, or run that line of code in this very tab and the content of the page should be overwritten as expected.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Hi Rohald van Merode ,

Thanks for pointing that out to me. I was indeed working with a new tab. Tested it with the workspace index file and now it does work for me as well!
