Since I'm doing some research, it requires me to have multiple tabs open; I use their content as a reference.  I keep on switching between while a continue my research.
Apparently one of the tabs points to a URL that appears to be loading some content that is recognized as bad content when I'm on my company's network - apparently they don't tolerate certificate issues (in this case the certificate of some minor resource was revoked).

How can I tell which tab is loading URL/resource in question?
Using "Developers tools" I can run search in "Source" or "Network" sections, but this search has a scope limited to one particular tab.
Is there a way to search for URL/resources being loaded globally?

Best regards,
LL

Not sure I understand your issue.
You can just go to all of the tabs and see if anything shows an error page.
If this is what you are trying to avoid because it is time consuming, sometimes the Chrome Task Manager (Shift + Escape, or right click on the tab strip, but not on a tab, and select Task Manager) can be helpful because it shows the tab titles. If there is an error on that tab, it might show the host (fdfdfd.com) instead of the expected title.
Since it has no search functionality, you can try going to chrome:discards (copy and paste this in the location bar) which also shows the tab title, but being a web page, it is searchable using Control + F or the Chrome menu > Find in page.

For security reasons, very little information about all tabs is available. As you said, the information you want is available in Developer tools but global developer tools does not exist.

Also, chrome://net-export/ might help.

First of all, thank you for taking your time to respond.
I think I've got my favorite answer, which is chrome://net-export
I admit checking it through chrome://chrome-urls but I have dismissed it all too quick.

Best regards,
