Thanks for the report. The core issue is that the Trace Viewer used by the Profile plugin is built using an old, experimental library "polymer-micro" that doesn't work in Firefox, Safari.

I've filed a bug in the Chromium project to see if it can be fixed there.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1020620

It would be nice if TensorBoard told me that Chrome is needed to view the profile. I've been monkeying around for half an hour to find out why the profiling doesn't work.

By the way, it doesn't work in Chromium, either:

Version: 80.0.3968.0

[st--]

Seconded - at first I thought something was wrong with how I was calling the tracer in tensorflow2, and only when I came across this issue did I realize it's simply a display issue. It would be great if you could at least add a snippet of javascript that checks browser type/version and says "it's incompatible - you need "...

[st--]

(Duplicate of #1291? this one has much better description though)

[astridtijskens]

Is there a solution for this yet? I have the exact same problem, using tensorflow 2.0.1 and opening TensorBoard in Chrome.
The other tabs show information fine, but the profile tab stays empty.

I'm seeing this issue in Chrome 80 for macOS as well. Specifically, I'm seeing the following in the console:

Jk this is tracked in #3209

[Stefan1232]

Same on Win10, Chrome Version 80.0.3987.132 (64-Bit) with Tensorboard 2.1.0

And Firefox 74.0 (64bit)

[ecrows]

Adding that this happens on Linux as well -- Chrome 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit), Tensorboard 2.1.0.

[jimmieliu]

same here with Tensorflow 2.0.0 and chrome 81.0.4044.122 on mac 10.14.6 (18G103)

[stephanwlee]

As of latest TensorBoard and https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard/tensorboard_profiling_keras, the profile plugin should work on Firefox, Chrome, and others. Please give the new plugin a try. Thanks!

@RaphaelMeudec Can you link to your diagnose_tensorboard.py script?

[RaphaelMeudec]

@robertlugg Not sure what you refer to, but the code that I used when I encountered the error is in the first post of this issue.
