Please take a look at the following posts, the oldest of which is now 18 months old, and more than adequately describe why Ubuntu's developers are moving the release of Chromium from a .deb to a snap:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/chromium-updates-on-trusty/5905 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-testing-chromium-browser-deb-to-snap-transition/11179 https://snapcraft.io/blog/chromium-in-ubuntu-deb-to-snap-transition The release of Chromium via a PPA would negate all of what the release via a snap is hoping to achieve. If you have compelling arguments against Ubuntu using snaps please feel free to post on https://forum.snapcraft.io/. Bug reports on Launchpad for specific issues (actual issues like functional regressions, not opinions) are very welcome, though. ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852440 Title: Please give us back our chromium package on ppa, no one want snaps Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Please, we as ubuntu community the first thing we do after installing Ubuntu is removing that crappy snap from our system, it's slow to install and takes huge size on disk, and most of apps installed by snap doesn't work, please make new version via ppa, please.
