3373041 - Google Chrome 117: Impact of unload deprecation on BI 4.x

Starting with the upcoming Google Chrome version 117, (Expected release September 6 2023) chrome unload event handler is being gradually deprecated. 

• The deprecation will occur by gradually changing the default so that unload handlers stop firing on pages unless a page explicitly opts in to re-enable them.
• Please check out these links for bfcache and unload event deprecation to learn more.    
• Dependent Microsoft Edge (chromium) versions may also be impacted with such deprecations.
