Running the extension inside an incognito window does not open generated report

See original GitHub issue

Running Lighthouse on a website in an incognito window, when the extension generated it opens a new tab with an URL such as blob:chrome-extension://<EXTENSION-ID>/<REPORT-ID>. However, incognito disallows accessing this output and displays a HTTP ERROR 404 page. Consequently copying the URL back into a normal Chrome window does show the correct report.

I run Lighthouse inside an incognito window because I have other extensions running that I do not want to interfere with my performance tests.
