Short answer: yes. Long answer: if you want to use Firefox you’ll have to find an unsupported way of running it. Chromium is also a snap in the repositories ( it is a meta package) I’ve had a good experience with setting up the Brave repository from the official website and using that. Live patch is a commercial product and I don’t think many home users of Ubuntu use it. If doing a fresh install is viable for you, I recommend PopOS 22.04 they ship and support their own build of Firefox as a native package and flatpak and flathub are configure out of the box and are preferable to snaps (but not forced on you)

    They are the "Mozilla Team at Canonical", as described here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam Why do you claim they are not trustworthy? Do you not find Canonical trustoworthy, then don't run Ubuntu at all.

      Nowhere on that page does it say they are Canonical employees. Ubuntu wiki is jus that - a wiki. The page hasn’t even been edited since 2015. If they were Canonical employees, I wouldn’t expect this PPA to last much longer anyway because the entire reason Firefox has been snap’d is so that Mozilla will be handling updates and Canonical doesn’t want to handle packaging it anymore.

        This is bat shit crazy level of conspiracy. Hosting content on a wiki does not automatically grant anonymous the right to edit said wiki. This particular wiki is not open for editing. Assuming an organization uses a wiki would mean content on said wiki is not to be trustworthy is not factual. The group members and their roles within Canonical is available for anyone to see. You can see on their launchpad they are pushing official Firefox PPA:s for Canonical. It is updated to this day. You can see on launchpad this group is maintaining the whole Firefox package for Ubuntu. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/ See https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-n... And so on. > Nowhere on that page does it say they are Canonical employees. Maybe not on the exact wiki, but on their launchpad which is the original link you were making things up about. Stop making sh-t up.
