What is the circle icon in this request? It's a GET request that returns a pdf.
It does it in incognito as well.
I have the following extensions installed:
- Cisco Webex Extension
- Google Docs Offline
- Docs
- Sheets
- Slides

It looks like a cog to me. Also, cogs are circles. What plugins (extensions) do you have on this profile? Do you have the same behavior under incognito mode? Give it a try and let us know. – bitcollision Mar 24 '21 at 04:10

That's probably a request from a service worker. They reference it as a gear. Cog/gear... What is the difference? Please don't down vote.... I know the difference....
A service worker is a type of web worker. It's essentially a JavaScript file that runs separately from the main browser thread, intercepting network requests, caching or retrieving resources from the cache, and delivering push messages.

You can see what service workers are running via chrome by putting in chrome://inspect/#service-workers in your address bar in Google Chrome. – bitcollision Mar 24 '21 at 05:32

What do you mean by "What is the difference? Please don't down vote.... I know the difference...."? – David Klempfner Mar 24 '21 at 09:56
