I'm on Librewolf (a hardened version of Firefox) and Vivaldi for chrome-like experience. Jitsi meet and other visio chat web based to share screen are not compatible on LibreWolf (nor Firefox). It's a shame we have to rely on chrome.
You can check ungoogled chromium that is a good recommendation. https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
