"yokaiidle.netlify.app sent an invalid response." I'm getting this error on my MacBook while using the Chrome browser. Is the problem on my end?

By the way, I translated the error code from my language into English, so the English version might not be exactly accurate.

There is no issue on Chrome for me. I had a look around Google;  it seems Macs just have issues with everything on the planet 😅. Below is a list of fixes for Mac I found online when they fail to connect to websites. The browser version of this game is no different than a normal website since it's just JavaScript. 

I'd test these in this order

  1. Open it in Safari on the Mac
    • If Safari works → probably Chrome/cache/DNS.
    • If Safari also fails → probably the Mac's network/DNS.
  2. Open it in Chrome Incognito
    • If Incognito works → Chrome cache/cookies/extensions are likely involved.
  3. Try your phone on the same Wi-Fi
    • If the phone also fails → likely your Wi-Fi/router/DNS.
    • If the phone works → likely something specific to the Mac.
  4. Try the Mac using your phone's hotspot
    • This is probably the most useful test.
    • Works on hotspot but not Wi-Fi: definitely points toward your network/DNS rather than Yokai Idle.
  5. In Chrome, try: chrome://net-internals/#dns

    and click Clear host cache.
