What i see in docs that if you open the tab manually using window.open then you have option to close it.
openNewWindow() {
const newWindow = window.open('https://www.google.com/', 'hello');
setTimeout(() => {
newWindow?.close();
}, 100);
}

It depends on the internet speed. If opening a new window takes more than 100ms. The newWindow object is not yet initialized and newWindow?.close() will not be executed.
Your code seems to work with other URLs.
Try with
example.orgordeveloper.mozilla.org.Maybe
www.google.comhas a feature that prevents the window from being closed.
