Legitimate attempt at a cavil there, but at the wrong target. Internet
point denied. :-)

The default browser in 21.10 is still Firefox as it has been since
Ubuntu first appeared in 2004, but it's a snap now, so there is no apt
package installed.

This has been widely reported and described, e.g.
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/09/ubuntu-makes-firefox-snap-default

Do keep up, double-oh seven. ;-)
