I delete your API key from your post - that's private.

We were experiencing the same error when testing any XenForo 2.2 installation although we have worked around the issue for now.

We have ascertained that it appears to be related to this Headless Chromium bug:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1090429

Specifically our PWA supports the Notification.badge API so when the headless Chromium instance Lighthouse uses encounters that it crashes and returns the internal app error.
