I logged out and back in and the page, in Chome, still loads completely blank. Interestingly, I can load it in Firefox, except all my custom inventory items are gone, and I cannot edit anything.
Ok more weirdness. I rebooted the computer. Brought up Chrome and logged in again and it was the same thing. So I tried opening in an incognito window. This time I was able to log in from scratch and bring up my character, complete with custom inventory. So the issue is something with the regular Chrome installation. Probably some extension. Ill fix it tomorrow.
Extensions give DDB heartburn as I understand. Especially Chrome ones I’ve heard. Something to do with DDB has super tight security to thwart the BBEs of the IRL. Apparently seemingly simple ones can actually do stuff incidentally that gets flagged by the system as, like, “not within range of normal” and stuff fritzes just a little, just enough. And because that one little browser gets denied that bit of information and because of that access to something else gets denied. I don’t really know how it all works exactly but....
I guess it’s kind of like that ex from back in the day and when you, like, notice them across target in some other department and decide “I’ll shop that side of the store next time.” Only for your browser “That side” = Character Sheet
I'm not sure what changed, but now, two days later, I have gone back and my character loaded up fine with no changes to Chrome's extensions. My current theory is that there was some piece of cache data that had become corrupted. As Incognito mode wasn't using the cache it loaded up fine from scratch. Hopefully the issue won't reappear, but if it does at least I know how to get around it.

Right in the middle of a game I was suddenly unable to load my character. I was making some changes to inventory and POOF! Using Chrome: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Mikey_FFFF/characters/24826648
