This is just a temporary workaround for a window that doesn't close with the window.close(). Remember the bug where the OAuth2 window doesn't close for Yahoo and AOL mail? This is a workaround for that in the meantime. It seems like when the redirect url is a different domain then window.close() doesn't work because the new domain is considered a new entry. I couldn't find a way to set the opener otherwise that would be a better solution.

As of Chromium 88, window.close() succeeds if the new window/tab has an opener or if the back/forward stack contains fewer than two entries.

I don't think this is the right fix but it is the only solution I have at the moment.
