Ubuntu 22.04 and their snap love afair - or: how to get rid of snap - or: firefox without snap
Some years ago Ubuntu introduced snap and said it would be better. In my experience it was slower. And then they started packaging chromium-browser as a SNAP only, this broke the kde-plasma and kde-connect (media and phone desktop integrations, and I resorted to installing chrome from Google. This was quite easy because Chrome comes as a .deb package which also installs a apt-source so it's upgraded just like the rest of the system. This, by the way is the apt source for Chrome, you drop it in e.g. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list : deb [arch=amd64] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main And then you install the google signing key: wget -qO- https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo tee /etc/apt/ trusted.gpg.d/google-linux-signing-key.asc Then you can do ' apt update ' and ' apt install google-chrome-stable '.
