mixpanel-2-latest.min.js:9 Mixpanel error: "mixpanel" object not initialized

Question

mixpanel-2-latest.min.js:9 Mixpanel error: "mixpanel" object not initialized. Ensure you are using the latest version of the Mixpanel JS Library along with the snippet we provide.

From the last couple of days, I am seeing this error in the console when I do inspect element in my Google Chrome. I am using the latest Chrome version 64. I am not using mixpanel. It's also showing up if I open any public website. Any idea how to resolve this error?

Answer 1

Check your extensions, for me it was 'Page Ruler' (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-ruler/jlpkojjdgbllmedoapgfodplfhcbnbpn?hl=nl) that caused this error. Systematically disable all extensions until the error does not occur anymore.

Answer 2

I started getting this error out of the blue. It was the chrome extension PageRuler. I trashed PageRuler and the error went away.

Answer 3

Alternatively, you can go to Page Ruler's options menu, and uncheck "Send Anonymous Usage Statistics". This will enable you to continue using the extensions without seeing the error message.
