Error "Error with Permissions-Policy header" when using --headless on example tests

[reallymello]

Description of the bug/issue

When I run the example duckDuckGo.ts and ecosia.ts scripts that come with the npm init nightwatch scaffolder using --headless I expect the test to execute without console info errors, but instead I receive

[0129/121246.799:INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "Error with Permissions-Policy header: Origin trial controlled feature not enabled: 'interest-cohort'.", source:  (0)
[0129/121247.779:INFO:CONSOLE(3)] "Request for the Private Access Token challenge.", source:  (3)

[0129/121251.039:INFO:CONSOLE(3)] "console.groupEnd", source:  (3)

The error is logged only when run as headless.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run npm init nightwatch@latest
2. Select, typescript and end-to-end for your configuration with chrome as your browser
3. After setup, execute npx nightwatch .\nightwatch\ecosia.ts --headless or npx nightwatch .\nightwatch\duckDuckGo.ts --headless

Sample test

Use included ecosia.ts or duckDuckGo.ts scripts that come with npm init nightwatch

Command to run

npx nightwatch .\nightwatch\ecosia.ts --headless
npx nightwatch .\nightwatch\duckDuckGo.ts --headless

Verbose Output

PS C:\Users\Mr\Desktop\apiTests> npx nightwatch .\nightwatch\ecosia.ts --headless --verbose 
 Now you can run TS tests directly using Nightwatch.

There's a new PR related to Chrome headless. Can you check if #3581 fixes it?

[reallymello]

Yes @beatfactor that fixes it with the new options.js in that PR. Should we leave this issue open until that is published?

[beatfactor]

yeah, we'll publish a 2.6.11 patch version soon.

[beatfactor]

should be fixed now.
