After observing for months how schools handled this issue, I'd like to confirm my initial predictions; all of them now install google-chrome instead of chromium-browser in order to avoid snap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ub

Thank you for resolving this. I would like to mention that there are other browsers/snaps in Universe that are just synced from Debian, without any policy about preventing them from reaching Ubuntu, and that this decision will probably move users to Google Chrome rather than snaps, but ...alea i

I don't think a chromium-browser in universe - without security support - is a sensible thing to provide. There's a reason chromium moved to a snap: It takes too much effort to maintain across all stable releases. I'm not confident that the community can keep up with supporting chromium in univers

Hi, any progress on this? Ubuntu 20.04 is maturing, later on it will be too late to change it. Personally I would greatly appreciate at least knowing if this change will make it for 20.04 or not. This is because hundreds of Greek schools just purchased new computer labs and I'm preparing a new te

I came to file this exact issue and I saw that someone has already filed it; thank you Amr. If chromium isn't provided in 20.04, then Ubuntu users that opt not to use snaps will have to install Google's Chrome instead. I tested the Buster chromium package in Focal and it worked fine. Specifically

This seems technically feasible, as there is no "chromium" source package in Ubuntu. It would probably be confusing though, from an end- user perspective. Amr Ibrahim, have you tested the existing Debian package in Ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

This is a request to sync a new source package from Debian, independently of the chromium-browser source, which only exists in Ubuntu and not in Debian. I don't think the chromium-browser source works here, it has to remain as it is after 20.04 LTS for the transition to the chromium snap to fully h
