Unable to access .local addresses

I've tried a few different attempts at fixing this, but I have found that when using an application like firefox, or chrome installed via Bazaar, I cannot find local hosts on my network using .local addresses. It seems that this is related to the isolation that Bazzite performs, but the operating system seems to be able to ping and connect usinng SMB to these hosts just fine. I would prefer not to need to spin up a whole DNS server on my network and to continue using .local addresses for Firefox, chrome, vscode...etc.

Is there a workaround to enable the applications to be able to use .local addresses?
