google colab error on google chrome browser - JavaScript files needed to display output

Question

I am having below error while using google colab on google chrome. It started coming up suddenly

Error
Could not load the JavaScript files needed to display output.
This is probably because your Google Account login access has expired or because third-party cookies are not allowed by your browser.

Please reload this page.

I followed instructions from here using this page as some settings have changed. I have added [*.]googleusercontent.com in the section Sites that can always use cookies using the below instructions

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
Click Privacy and security and then Cookies and other site data.
Next to "Sites that can always use cookies," "Always clear cookies when windows are closed," or "Sites that never use cookies," click Add.

Apart from that I have tried below steps:

The google chrome>>incognito mode and firefox browser runs fine.
I have already restarted my machine and cleared my cookies.
My javascripts seem to be enable as they are on the setting Sites can use Javascript
My google account is fully functional and not facing any issues with gmail or any other site

How could I resolve this issue?

yes, an ingonito tab is not giving that problem. How could i get it working in the regular tab? — user2543622

They should be enabled, what you have now is correct. I will investigate further to help later — rikyeah

Do you have too many cells open on your Colab that aren’t needed? Start a new notebook with just the cells you need or get rid of them.

Solution1: Disconnect your collab runtime and Restart your browser.

Solution2: Clearing cookies of last 24hours (and restarting the system) fixed the issue.

If anyone find any better approach, let me know.

There is an issue opened already https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/issues/757
