Chrome Extensions: Script (Gapi) not loading properly in React app bundled by Webpack, how to fix?

As of today, when I attempt to import Gapi in a React App bundled by Webpack and compiled by Babel, I am thrown a net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME error. The error also indicates that my browser is trying to fetch about:blank when loading Gapi. I believe network requests indicates that these calls are being attempted by loaded Gapi scripts:

Requests

I've tried working around the issue with several React loader libraries and manually adding the Gapi script tag to head. I now believe this is primarily an issue with my configuration of Webpack. I am able to import Gapi without any problems in a plain html doc that I open in my browser. I had been able to use Gapi comfortably with Webpack prior to today.

Minimum reproducible example:

export type ReactGapiProps = {}

export const ReactGapi : FC<ReactGapiProps>  = () =>{

   const [tick, forceUpdate] = useReducer(x=>x+1, 0);


   const script = document.createElement("script");
   script.src = "https://apis.google.com/js/client.js";
   script.onload = ( e : Event)=>{
       if(script.onload){
           script.onload(e)
       }
       forceUpdate()
   }
   document.head.appendChild(script);

   return (

       <div>
           {window.gapi ? "Yay it worked!" : "Check the logs."}
       </div>

   )

}

Webpack config is CRA default.

Update 1: It looks like some Chrome extensions are not playing nicely with Gapi. I can use the API just fine on Firefox and Chrome on other machines. Here's what I have it narrowed down to:

Update 2: I have not been able to replicate this error since the day I first encountered it. I'm going to try loading some of the extensions in Cypress today.
