As explained in Kayce Basques's answer, this is due to a problem with versions of Chrome since 63.

The solution is to use an older version of Chromium.

Here are the download links for the the latest version of Chromium (version 62.0.3202.94, branch base position 499098) which support it:

• macOS: https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Mac%2F499098%2Fchrome-mac.zip?generation=1504230238091965&alt=media
• Windows 64 bits: https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/chromium-browser-snapshots/o/Win_x64%2F499095%2Fchrome-win32.zip?generation=1504230103809077&alt=media
