Ok, that is fine. I understand that Ubuntu developers do not support the deb version I installed. But is it necessary to allow this kind of poisonous behavior by the snap version? If I remove the snap I should not have the thing re-appearing uninvited to grab the default browser status. Should I? I do use snap for a few applications that are not critical and seem to behave, like Foliate and Spotify. I would like to like snap but for the time being it is just too unstable, I really got burned by the snap Docker which creates all sorts of subtle catastrophes. So my alternatives are completely purging snap or switching distro? So I am not asking you to support the deb I installed but to contain the bad behavior of the snap Chromium that you do support.

I had deliberately removed it and installed chromium-browser from deb. The deb version is still active on the system and was my default browser. But today the snap version suddenly snapped the link instead of my selected default browser. I do not wish to use anything snap because I have had very bad experiences with them, even on 22.04. Weird errors that steal much time so I do not want anything snap. Please! I was expecting to have the link launch in my default browser chromium-browser. I have removed the snap chromium with snap remove chromium so it should not even have been on my system any more. which chromium /snap/bin/chromium Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 Even your instructions like "The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname'" below do not work with these snaps. snap info chromium installed: 103.0.5060.134 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1983448/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
