Ubuntu's Mozillateam PPA now forcing users over to snap install for Firefox.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hear me out, why not just use snap?
Because it forces me to have a
snap
directory in my home dir which I otherwise keep very tidy. At least let me put it in.snap
or something like any decent piece of software. The snap developers don't respect users at all.First, it's a version behind, prompting Firefox to ask me to erase my existing profile. That's not going to do. Second, it's not able to have Widevine added to it, which is needed for video / screen sharing in Teams web client.
Cuz the damn PWA and keepass extensions don't work.
Sorry, but the keepassxc extension works flawlessly.
I've used it a few years ago, it might have gotten better but when I was trying to use it it was annoying as fuck, cross-application links that you would expect to open the browser or whatever other app just didn't seem to work right and that was kind of a big deal for me since I use Slack a lot.
Also I'd imagine your disk usage would go through the roof with it.
I just don't see the point in it tbh, what was wrong with Linux package management as it is?
