Running dracut --force to recreate an initramfs breaks Firefox and Chrome from opening.

Chrome reports:

[1052:1052:0826/202013.889700:ERROR:platform_shared_memory_region_posix.cc(237)] Creating shared memory in /dev/shm/.com.google.Chrome.75LWfU failed: Permission denied (13)
[1052:1052:0826/202013.889735:ERROR:platform_shared_memory_region_posix.cc(240)] Unable to access(W_OK|X_OK) /dev/shm: Permission denied (13)
[1052:1052:0826/202013.889752:FATAL:platform_shared_memory_region_posix.cc(242)] This is frequently caused by incorrect permissions on /dev/shm.  Try 'sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm' to fix.

Chmod'ing /dev/shm to 1777 fixes the issue.

It would be generally practical to have both Firefox and Chromium available out of the box for all new installations, or perhaps consider Chromium instead of Firefox as the default shipping browser?

(Both Google Chrome, Brave browser, Opera browser and Vivaldi browser are all based on Chromium, with which the same browser extensions can be used across all these browsers for efficiency. All of these browsers now support multiple profiles per browser, and this now makes for a great boost in efficiency and security.)

Ah, and while I am at it:
How about adding the PPA's for these mentioned browsers so that they all are only one "package install command" away?

Hi, any ideas how to fix?

Ref. the README.txt specifying to assign 2Gb memory initially for the kernel operations to successfully complete.
What is the minimum RAM requirement for a new VM instance based on Qubes-CRUX?
For example if we only want a Disposable VM that may run 1-15 browser tabs of normal web pages, plus the buil-in File Manager and for example 1 instance of the gEdit / Pluma / Kate editor, what should the initial size be set to?
