ChatGPT Web update Breaks Open in New Tab

Running into a weird issue on latest Chromium.

In ChatGPT, if you enter a chat, refresh the window, click new chat, open a new tab and directly navigate to ChatGPT, things operate as per normal - you are logged in, things function properly, etc.

If you middle click on “new chat” and open chatgpt in a new tab via the browser native middle click path, you end up with a prompt to select an account.

Very odd regression. This has not happened previously until mid afternoon today for me.
