Sorry, what I meant was that anything based on Chromium exhibits this same bug *for me*. So my point is that for my needs there is no workaround by simply using a different browser, given that most VoIP apps are coded for Chrome(ium)'s specific WebRTC implementation and/or wrapped into Electron which is also Chromium based. (There are indeed many unhandled bug reports with very large numbers of users reporting the same issue on Chrome and Chromium's bug trackers, but that's extraneous to this list.)

That makes sense. Any implementation tips or links perchance? Thanks a lot.
