The Mint maintainer went out of his way to react in bad faith. The chromium transition was announced in October 2019, https://snapcraft.io/blog/chromium-in-ubuntu-deb-to-snap-transition https://snapcraft.io/blog/chromium-in-ubuntu-deb-to-snap-tra... Ubuntu was not able to maintain chromium as a deb package, and chromium is not the default browser in Ubuntu. Therefore, it has been packaged as a snap package. Since there is no longer an apt package, what should happen when you "sudo apt install chromium-browser"? The usable decision was to install the snap package of Chromium instead, https://snapcraft.io/blog/chromium-in-ubuntu-deb-to-snap-transition https://snapcraft.io/blog/chromium-in-ubuntu-deb-to-snap-tra... The snap package of Chromium has been in testing for two years already. The snap package page is https://snapcraft.io/chromium https://snapcraft.io/chromium You can view the installation log, with the list of operating systems that have installed it.
