it's supposed to take you to github.

does cobalt work fine in incognito (without any extensions)? if it does, then try disabling some extensions in regular mode.

do you have any extensions installed, can you check? (you can open extensions page by entering chrome://extensions in the URL bar, or by using the chrome menu)

If possible, try using another browser. Can you install 3rd party apps by any chance?
