Why would suggest a jump from Ubuntu to qubes?
Afaik Qubes runs all software in containers,
which isolates them from each other,
which is great for privacy.
However, OP only asked for Chrome,
and I assume the jump to Qubes might be too big.
To only isolate Chrome,
I'd recommend a Flatpak instead.
Or even better Ungoogled-Chromium.
Oh, I just figured that a portable version of an isolated OS would be a decent alternative. Bit you're right maybe a bit too much
