What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Running protractor tests with chrome 68 in headless mode and chrome driver 2.41 or 2.40
(2) The test should open a page than click on a link which will open in a new tab
(3) clicking on another link which would open another tab will trigger an unknown error as follows:

WebDriverError: unknown error: cannot activate web view
        (Session info: headless chrome=68.0.3440.84)
        (Driver info: chromedriver=2.41.578700 (2f1ed5f9343c13f73144538f15c00b370eda6706),platform=Linux 4.4.0-131-generic x86_64)

          at <anonymous>
          at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7)

What is the expected result?
The driver shouldn't fail and should keep executing tests

What happens instead?
driver fails and it becomes unreachable in all the other specs:

WebDriverError: chrome not reachable
