navigator.setAppBadge hangs Cypress on Chrome 83

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior:

Cypress hangs (freezes), indefinitely. CI/CD killed the process after one hour.

This is reproducable - occurs every test run, both in Gitlab CI / Docker, as well as locally.

headless-mode has these issues, headed-mode does not have issues.

Desired behavior:

Cypress finished running (don’t care about pass/fail, just that it exists).

Test code to reproduce

reproduce.html

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body>
<script>
// Note that if you uncomment this line, everything's back to normal:
navigator.setAppBadge(5)
// This related function also causes the issue: 
// navigator.clearAppBadge()
// Here's some (unrelated) context: https://web.dev/badging-api/

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerText = 'Done'
</script>
</body>
</html>

test_spec.js

describe('Badge Icon', () => {
  it('does not hang cypress', () => {
    cy.visit('./cypress/fixtures/reproduce.html')
    cy.contains('Done')
  })
})

Versions

Cypress: confirmed on 4.3.0 / 4.0.0 / 3.8.3 / 3.8.1, and prior to 3.8.1 this there was no headless mode for Chrome
(assuming that it is the case for all Cypress versions)
OS: Linux
Browser: 
- Chrome 83 has this issue
- Chrome 81 does not have this issue (it passes)
- Electron 80 does not have this issue (it fails because undefined, but that's OK and to be expected)
- Firefox 74 does not have this issue (it fails because undefined, but that's OK and to be expected)
- Firefox 75 does not have this issue (it fails because undefined, but that's OK and to be expected)

We hit the same issue, unrelated to cypress.

It seems like an upstream chromium issue. I’ve created https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1090429 to track it.
