Summary
Chrome 78 dropped support for synchronous XHR requests inside of beforeunload, unload, pagehide, and visibilitychange event handlers. This made an AJAX test checking exactly that fail in Chrome.
See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=952452
BTW, I can't reliably reproduce the failure in Chrome on macOS when tested via the PHP setup. It does fail in Chrome 78 via Karma & in Edge Chromium in all ways, though. It also reliably fails in TestSwarm. Therefore, we need to drop that test in Chrome.
