Potential Dependency Conflict in Polkadot.js on ArcBlock?
While accessing ArcBlock, I noticed an error in the DevTools Console related to Polkadot.js dependencies. The error indicates that different versions of @polkadot/util and @polkadot/util-crypto are being loaded simultaneously. I’m not sure if this affects ArcBlock’s functionality, but I wanted to report it for clarification.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open the ArcBlock website.
- Open DevTools Console (F12).
- Observe an error message regarding dependency version conflicts in Polkadot.js.

Questions:
- Is this normal behavior, or could it impact system functionality?
- If this could cause issues, is there a plan to resolve the version mismatch?

Seems this error is caused by your browser extensions, the ArcBlock website itsself does not include any dependencies from polkadot.
The issue is not related to arcblock website but it's due to your polkadot.js wallet extension. This kind of error is due when you have multiple extension that use the same dependencies.
Thank you for the clarification! I understand now that the issue is not related to ArcBlock but rather caused by conflicts between browser extensions using Polkadot.js dependencies. I will try disabling some extensions and testing again. Appreciate the help
