The error can indicate a mismatch of chromedriver and chrome version. Failing tests are on Linux (we're not testing Windows at all). We are using chromedriver: 84.0.4147.0, chrome: Chromium 84.0.4147.0 there, so they are matching versions:

The main difference between net6 and current main is missing --no-sandbox argument that was added to xharness in dotnet/xharness#951. It is reported as a fix for this exact error and it bypasses the OS's security model. I will backport the mentioned PR and see if this helps.
