In this lightening talk, we'll walk through process of creating a virtual machine using NixOS which will start Firefox and visit a pre-configured website. We'll work-around the performance issue of building multiple VMs when there are many configured websites. To do so, we'll employ flake outputs for caching and QEMU's ability to forward configuration options to the VM. At the end, we'll have a browser setup with improved isolation and alternative UX.
