Interface no longer working with the release of Chrome v67

Looks like the interface is no longer working once I update to Chrome version 67 on Android. Version 66 and below work fine. To recreate, load a page via WebViewInterface and click on any link the page. The app will crash with the following error:

An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread.

Actually this appears to be a NativeScript webview error.
