My guess is that the deb you manually installed was replaced by the chromium-browser package from the archive, which installs the snap. You can probably prevent this behaviour by using apt pinning (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto). Make sure your version of chromium-browser will always be preferred over the version in the archive (which has an epoch in its version, i.e. it starts with "1:").

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
