[Pcsclite-muscle] chrome flatpak and pcscd

[Daffy Duck]

Ok, I have followed the instructions on there and now I run:

flatpak run fr.apdu.pcsc_scan 
PC/SC device scanner

But how do I now get chrome to recognize the CAC reader again?  I used
flatseal and added ~/.pki/nssdb

Do I need to do anything else?
