Ubuntu to Make Firefox Snap Default in 21.10
- Andys 5y agoWhy do they keep pushing this crap?
- oblak 5y agoWhat's so bad about snaps? I know they start slow on any given hardware, as evident from my own computer, but apart from that, I don't really know. What are the pros and cons compared to what else is out there?
- jfrd 5y agoPersonally, I hate anything that clutters my home directory. Have they added an option to relocate ~/snap?
- rehaby 5y agoI can't open links from thunderbird in chromium snap, I have to copy and paste them. I also can't open progressive web apps from the menu. I have multiple other integration issues with the snaps that are forced upon me, which for now is just chromium, but I do also use firefox
- thayne 5y agoBecause it is slow to start, and can have weird quirks where things don't work quite right. You also have less control over when it updates, which doesn't bother me that much, but is a problem for some people. It also takes up more space on disk, and it is the snap packager's responsibility apply security updates on upstream dependencies, rather than the ubuntu packagers, although for Firefox, I don't think there is too much worry there, as long as Mozilla puts some effort into the snap.
- Nasreddin_Hodja 5y ago> Why do they keep pushing this crap? Because every company wants to vendorlock all to their service. Same with systemd, flatpak e.t.c.
- Nasreddin_Hodja 5y agoOk, I will just use tarballs from Mozilla site.
