Description

### FAQ

- [X] Yes, my issue is not about [variability](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/master/docs/variability.md) or [throttling](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/master/docs/throttling.md).
- [X] Yes, my issue is not about a specific accessibility audit (file with [axe-core](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core) instead).

### What happened?

Running a lighthouse audit in Chrome logged in with a profile the LCP Element is the largest on the page regardless if it is well below the fold.
Auditing in either Incognito or as a Guest seems to produce the correct results.
With just the regular user all chrome extensions were disabled to ensure no conflict.

### What did you expect?

Expected to see LCP above the fold

### What have you tried?

Using the same page testing in Incognito, Guest and as Chrome user. Various systems all with Chrome updated to latest and no chrome extensions.

Then tested various other sites.

Google Pagespeed Insights for the same pages produces the expected result.
