Uses deprecated APIs warnings in Google Dev Browser Version 105.0.5191.0

Since 72 hours ago we've been seeing strange warnings appear in Google Dev Browser Lighthouse "Best Practices" section on tests, and we've been unable to debug them.
Specifically:
"Uses deprecated APIs" warnings
We're using Google Dev Browser Version 105.0.5191.0.
These warnings do not appear in Lighthouse tests using the standard Google browser or Page Speed Insights.
So far we've replicated on three sites using GP (the latest version), and when we change the theme, we're not seeing the issue.
Not sure if this is an issue with GP or a false positive from the Google Dev Browser. We've put some links to our GP sites in the private area.
Hi there,
i cannot see that being theme related as the Theme itself doesn't hook into Google APIs. Unless there is some Javascript function that has been deprecated.
Did it provide any more information eg. which APIs or the related script ?
No - that's the bizarre thing - and nothing came up in the console errors either. (Screen in private).
Sounds like a bug in that browser.
Which browser is it ? This one:
No, it's this one: https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chrome/dev/
Jeez, i have everyone but that one lol
I tested a few other sites on Chrome Dev - and 9 out of 10 WP sites throw the same warning, all different themes.
And the error doesn't show on Chrome Beta ( so the one a little closer to the stable release ).
I would think its that version of Chrome just having a moment.
That's good to know!
Thanks so much for taking the time to look into this.
You're welcome
