Regex inside expectJsonMatchStrict does not work as expected

Describe the bug

I have to validate a json which has a format like below

{
  "browsers": [
    {
      "platform": "linux",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "browser_version": "120.0",
      "release": "stable",
      "release_tag": "latest"
    },
    {
      "platform": "linux",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "browser_version": "119.0",
      "release": "stable",
      "release_tag": "latest-1"
    },
    {
      "platform": "linux",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "browser_version": "118.0",
      "release": "stable",
      "release_tag": "latest-2"
    }
  ]
}

My validation code snippet is:

.expectJsonMatchStrict({
  'browsers': eachLike({
    'platform': string(),
    'browser': regex(/(chrome|firefox|msedge)/),
    'browser_version': string(),
    'release': string(),
    'release_tag': regex(/latest+|null/)
  })
})

This throws Json doesn't match with "(chrome|firefox|msedge)" at "$.browsers[0].browser" but found "regex"
This is weird, because if I use /(chrome|firefox)/ then it correctly breaks at $.browsers[20].browser, where there is an instance of msedge, outside the scope of expected regex.
Not sure why it's breaking at index 0 in my original regex, where chrome is present.
