   From what I can gather, it appears that chrome has never supported `screen.orientation.lock`, but at some point they added the function, that raises an exception when used. (Maybe it's only supported on specific devices?)
   
   https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-screen-orientation/blob/3c08d393ffe0df5fa16f7fcbab06c22648dcc3ed/www/screenorientation.js#L57-L59
   
   These lines above checks for existing of the native api and uses it if available, then it looks like it falls back to a custom solution if not. I haven't tested this, but perhaps we can force use the fallback.
   
   The issue was raised back in 2017, but remained unresolved and archived (with no attached reason) in 2018. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=702069
