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.

- sigwinch28 7y agoDidn't realise they had one! Might be more convenient than my shell aliases :)
- garmaine 7y agoI’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.
- sigwinch28 7y agoFair 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...
