      I mean you can still get that experience on Ubuntu if you want to install Firefox as an apt package instead of being forced to install it as a snap package.

        Both are official and work well so there isn’t really a need for it. But some people just want to make their experience harder because snap bad.

          No, the Firefox snap genuinely is awful. It takes forever to load and runs like ass.

          I understand that. I actually used the snap one for a long time but then was having issues with it crashing a lot and switched over. I doubt most have the same issues I was having.

          I was just pointing out that if you want to make it difficult for yourself, you can haha.

      Too many screens and clicks. Where’s my single-click browser install? Linux will never become mainstream on the desktop.

        no, it should just know what browser I want. it should read my minds or whatever. do you expect me to take those 5 whole clicks?
