Describe the Bug
When you write your request, then press ‘send’ it flashes ‘Generating’ for split second, but then just goes to where it was - your request is still in chat typing window, and it doesn’t get send.
The reason - ‘default.exp-tas.com’ domain gets blocked (in my case by pi-hole). I tested this going back and banning it in the span of couple days. I believe it is not a coincidence at this point. Although the bug itself appears randomly - cursor might even work fine for some time but then start doing this, and even restarts won’t fix it. But unbanning this domain did.
I also had ‘Remote extension host terminated unexpectedly 3 times within the last 5 minutes’ error many times, but I am not sure if it gets fixed by unbanning this domain.
TLDR: unban exp-tas.com domain in your pihole or adguard instance.
Steps to Reproduce
Ban the domain mentioned above - after some time requests won’t send.

Additional Information
I’d say cursor becomes mostly unusable.
By the way, if one includes over 2 links in the forum post, the post will go to drafts. But the draft will be empty, so you’ll lose all your text. Fix this please.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
Yes - Cursor is unusable
