Chrome 119+ fails to start

It seems like something changed in upcoming versions of Chrome. Our GitHub actions have stoped to work where we run tests against future versions. The errors looks like this:

chrome failed to start, trying 0 more time(s): session not created
from unknown error: result.webdriverValue.value list is missing or empty in Runtime.callFunctionOn response
  (Session info: chrome=119.0.6045.10)

Looking in the Chromedriver log the interesting entries look like:
