@homanp thx for providing this issue.
Iam affraid this is not an issue which crittr is responsible for. As far as my research is valid it should be gone with nodejs 14 and only occur with nodejs 15. Because nodejs 15 is already build for ARM and so it needs to install the arm version of chrome aswell.
See more info here: puppeteer/puppeteer#6622 (comment)

So in short this is most likely a chromium or a puppeteer issue. We have to wait till they fix it. As an alternative you could try to install chromium on your own as described above "sudo apt install chromium" and set the ENV Flag "PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD" to true I guess. So it will skil the install and use the current available chromium browser. You may give it a try.
But keep in mind that this will be reverted on the next update and install of crittr. As long as there is no fixed set "PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD" Flag, it will install the puppeteer version of chrome the next time. Then hopefully working.

TL;DR: no crittr issue. Will be fixed by either the googlechrome crew or puppeteer uses a workarround and I need to raise it to 8.x.

After the upgrade to puppeteer 9.0.0 Mac M1 should work as expected without workarrounds
