+1 - A clean isolated Chromium would make for a better user experience.

I wonder if this from @hrbrmstr's decapitated package plus rappdirs would get close. Maybe Linux is trouble?

hi,

One solution is to use puppeteer. Then define the chromote path:

Sys.setenv("CHROMOTE_CHROME"="path_to/chrome-linux64/chrome")

Closing in recognition that while this would be useful, it would be a lot of work and doesn't seem to be much of a problem for folks in practice.

The introduction of a new headless mode in Chrome (see #171) has elevated this from "not much of a problem" to "can very much be a problem". It's still a lot of work but is now worth reconsidering.
