Really, really sad. I’m not going to run Chrome for this one application.

  I'm not sure if you are aware of the difference, but you can use Chromium instead of Chrome. I am mainly a Firefox user on NixOS, but for running Chrom{e,ium} I find that Firejail [0] is a good option. For example, to run chromium in "store" mode and point it to the demo jitsi instance: firejail --profile=chromium chromium --app="https://meet.jit.si" In reality, I combine this with `nix-shell` and set it as a shell alias, since Chromium isn't something I use regularly: nix-shell -p chromium --run "firejail --profile=chromium chromium --app=\"https://meet.jit.si\"" The `--app` option removes browser controls, so it almost behaves like an Electron application.

    Or you can download the Electron app here https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron

      Didn't realise they had one! Might be more convenient than my shell aliases :)

    I’m not going to run a different browser for one application. I don’t even install anything derived from Chrome in my computer, and I’m not going to change that policy.

      Fair enough. Please be aware that aside from E2E demoed here, there is allegedly a Firefox-specific bug regarding WebRTC which degrades performance for all participants in a call: https://community.jitsi.org/t/software-unusable-on-firefox-why/22143 https://community.jitsi.org/t/software-unusable-on-firefox-w...
