You may remember that I already hated Snap and the rest of the
packaging mess well before discovering this one more reason to do it,
but no, I did not.

When I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS I just accepted I had to live with
the firefox snap because I cannot afford to waste time on stuff like
this anymore, unfortunately.

Later on, I also installed Chrome because it was the only way I found to
quickly move bookmarks from an Android "smart" phone to a desktop.

That's all I did in, as far as I remember, that is browser-related.
