lighthouse: Chrome crashes during run

I’m attempting to investigate CLS values in Lighthouse v6 Beta CLI, and the runner will fairly consistently hang and/or crash ~90% of the time on Etsy.com.

Provide the steps to reproduce

1. Run LH on https://www.etsy.com --only-categories=performance

What is the current behavior?

I’m seeing two variations of similar behavior that seem to be related to the same underlying issue:

1. The runner will open a new Chrome instance, the audit runs, the runner starts the process to detach from the browser window, but the window stays open and the runner hangs after the following lines are output:

  method => browser:verbose Audits.getEncodedResponse {"requestId":"9493.4","encoding":"jpeg","quality":0.92,"sizeOnly":true} +0ms
  method <= browser OK:verbose Audits.getEncodedResponse {"originalSize":233050,"encodedSize":248806} +25ms
  method => browser:verbose Audits.getEncodedResponse {"requestId":"9493.4","encoding":"webp","quality":0.85,"sizeOnly":true} +1ms
  <= event:verbose Target.detachedFromTarget {"sessionId":"18E03AAD97E889344ECF19B721CC17CC","targetId":"2CADCD0FEF2F0AA2AD41781C524ED691"} +87ms

  <= event:verbose Inspector.detached {"reason":"target_closed"} +1ms

1. Similar to above, but the browser window will close, and the runner will output the following error:

  <= event:verbose Inspector.detached {"reason":"target_closed"} +1ms
  method => browser:verbose Runtime.evaluate {"expression":"(function wrapInNativePromise() {\n        const __nativePromise = window.__nativePromise || Promise;\n        const URL = window +60s

Here’s a gist of the full verbose output https://gist.github.com/ksylor/882cd9d6f6f62a729c58e39fca15beeb

What is the expected behavior?

The runner completes and outputs the audit results consistently.
