What use to be the PPA that allowed Ubuntu users to use native .deb packages for Firefox has recently changed to the same meta package that forces installation of Snap and the Firefox snap package.
I am having to remove the meta package, then re-uninstall the snap firefox, then re-uninstall Snap, then install pin the latest build I could get (firefox_116.0.3+build2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~mt1_arm64.deb) to keep the native firefox build.
I’m so done with Ubuntu.
I also hate that anyone would side for snap based browser installation, and that any of you are upvoting it is horribly icky.
Can you articulate why?
I like my apps to be contained somehow. I don’t like all the choices canonical made with snap, but I like containment.
Your responses here tho, yeah. Icky.
I like some things as flatpak or appimage. But not my browsers, I use a hacked in widevine plugin.
