Close chrome browser stop ionic serve

[peterpeterparker]

Short description of the problem:

After my upgrade to nodejs 9.3.0 (from 8) I noticed that closing the chrome browser window (in incognito mode), where I debug my app, often lead to stopping the ionic local server

What behavior are you expecting?

ionic serve should not be stopped when I close a browser window

Steps to reproduce:

1. ionic serve
2. open a chrome new window/tab in incognito mode
3. debug your app
4. close the chrome window
