My stimuls controller runs its `connect()`, but after I clicked on a link to navigate to another page, i.e. turbo drive, its `disconnect()` does not run. No odd messages in my Chrome console.

Any idea how I can troubleshoot why this is happening??

```auto
export default class extends Controller {
  connect() {
    console.log("onconnect->connect()...");
  }
  disconnect() {
    console.log("onconnect->disconnect()...");
  }
}

```

Unbelievable, a restart of my chrome solved it.
