It's a shame that chromium's apt package uses snap now. Startup time increased from ~0.2 to 5-10 seconds. Using Brave fixes this.

- capableweb 6y ago> Switching to another browser to fix a packaging problem with the first browser is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Sure, but some people just want to have their problem fixed and they only have a sledgehammer in front of them. If it works, is it really that bad? > a browser wrapped in a cryptocurrency promotional wallet thing I think you have it the wrong way around. It's a browser containing an integration with a cryptocurrency wallet, not the other way around. You'd still be able to use it as a normal browser if you ignore the cryptocurrency stuff.
