Chrome 99 cannot use dedicated GPU (GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile) on Ubuntu 20.04

Hi,
I have been encountering issues with my GPUs.
I have a laptop with 2 GPUs, an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile.
I have installed prime and set prime-select on-demand I can launch an app to run with de dedicated GPU with a right-click and click “Launch using dedicated graphics card” which works for firefox for example, but not for google chrome. I tried tampering with the “vulkan” setting which only causes chrome to be slower and use much more resources. When I set prime-select nvidia, google chrome is correctly running on my dedicated gpu (even though it seems to heat quickly).
Does anyone have a clue why can’t chrome use the dedicated GPU when prime is set on on-demand?
