The snap_browsers abstraction provides the minimal amount of permissions required to execute a browser provided through snaps. This is a workaround since AppArmor currently does not provide mediation/filtering on enhanced environment variables. [Test Plan] * Make sure the default browser is provided through the snap store. * Open a PDF that contains a hyperlink using evince and click on the URL. * The browser should open the requested URL. [Where problems could occur] * If the browser or snap core update to have new requirements for opening a browser, then the current policy could become obsolete and will need to be updated again.
