Parsing big files in Chrome

Hello :)

Thank you for this super useful library. I have found some strange behaviour in Chrome and would like to confirm that it is an issue or get some guidance in case I messed up.

We are parsing big ~600MB csv files and papaparse (5.1.1) is working fine in Safari (Version 13.0.5 (15608.5.11)) and Firefox (73.0.1 (64-bit)) but fails in Chrome (Version 80.0.3987.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)).

Error we are getting is

{type: "Delimiter", 
 code: "UndetectableDelimiter", 
 message: "Unable to auto-detect delimiting character; defaulted to ','"
}

File has tabs as delimiter fields.

This is how we call parse

Papa.parse(file, {
        complete: (res, file) => {
            console.log(res.errors);
    }
})

I have tested the file on the demo site https://www.papaparse.com/demo and can confirm that it behaves the same. Is this an issue in Chrome or do we have to handle it differently?

It seems like an error from chrome browser.

I think you can fix it by manually specifing the delimiter for the file.
