This looks like a conflict between the new AnKing/Anki Note Types update and AnkiHub’s local server that powers the browser integration.

What’s (likely) happening:

  • When you press H, your card’s JavaScript is trying to call a local AnkiHub URL (the 127.0.0.1:58971/?utm_source=ankihub# you see).
  • Instead of handling it silently inside Anki, your system is sending that URL to Chrome, which then shows “Not Found”.

Try these steps:

  1. Update everything

    • Make sure you’re on the latest:
      • Anki (preferably 2.1.65+ or 2.1.66 Qt6 if possible).
      • AnkiHub add-on (Tools → Add-ons → AnkiHub → Check for Updates).
      • AnKing Note Types / AnKing Overhaul add-ons.

  2. Disable the AnkiHub browser integration temporarily

    • In Anki: Tools → Add-ons → AnkiHub → Config.
    • Look for any option referring to:
      • “browser integration”
      • “open in browser”
      • or similar.
    • Set it to false/off, restart Anki, and test H again.
    • If you’re not sure which setting it is, let me know what options you see in the AnkiHub config and I’ll help you pick the right one.

  3. Test for add-on conflicts

    • Disable all add-ons except:
      • AnkiHub
      • AnKing Note Types / AnKing Overhaul
    • Restart Anki and test H.
    • If the issue disappears, re‑enable other add-ons one by one until it returns; that will identify a conflicting add-on.

  4. Check the card template

    • Open the note where H reveals Sketchy.
    • Click Cards… → look at the templates for any http://127.0.0.1:... or utm_source=ankihub links.
    • If you find one, screenshot or copy the line and paste it here so we can see exactly what’s being called.

Could you reply with:

  • Your Anki version (Help → About).
  • AnkiHub add-on version (from the Add-ons list).
  • AnKing add-ons you have installed.
  • Whether disabling the AnkiHub browser integration (step 2) changes the behavior.

With that info we can narrow down if this is a bug we need to fix in the AnkiHub add-on or just a configuration/interaction issue.

When I changed the hint button to a different letter using the “Anking Note Types Add-on” the same thing happened. Conversely, when I press the shortcut for reveal Sketchy field directly (on mine it is “J”) it does NOT bring up the chrome tab

I tried to do this, but I am having some difficulty figuring it out on my own. Is it possible to have a new anking note type update pushed out with the changes explained in the solution? Thanks.
