My game runs in firefox but I keep getting the following message pop up whenever a choice is made: Warning: Write Error: A mutation operation was attempted on a database that did not allow mutations

In chromium the game completely shuts down by windows defender claiming that it has detected ransomware.

This happens just launching it out of renpy before uploading to itch.io

Do you have any idea if I might be doing something wrong?

Hi.

None of this should happen when testing a web build from ren'py.

I'll need more details on your environment and how you're testing.

I found out for firefox the message only appears when I'm using private browsing mode or set it to never remember history. Not sure what's up with chromium though. These errors apply when running The Question on this page as well.

I'm on windows 10

Firefox in private mode indeed refuses to save games (which makes sense, because they would be lost when closing the window), I plan to detect and make that message clearer.

The anti-virus block is annoying (but I'd be curious to know if Microsoft also blocks its own chromium-based Edge browser.) Is there a way to report this as a false positive?
