override puppeteer default browser

When using criticalCSS on Apple Silicon hardware in an arm64 linux virtual machine, puppeteer installs an x86-64 version of chromium which will not launch and will cause and npm run command to fail.

This problem can be solved by firstly installing chromium-browser which is a native arm64 and x86-64 build:

sudo apt install chromium-browser

And then setting an environment variable in your .profile

export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
