Other

globalThis is not supported in chrome 70, 10.4+ somehow use it directly in bundled code.

Hi @levinqdl , thanks for reporting this issue! I have confirmed that we unintentionally introduced some code in Cypress v10.4.0 that is incompatible with older versions of Chrome. Cypress v10.3.1 appears to work as expected in Chrome v70. We’ll get this routed to the team

[cypress-bot[bot]]

Released in 10.8.0.
