Is it possible to add to this list a package that isn't in the Ubuntu repositories e.g. Brave Browser? On my machine, both Brave and Vivaldi are installed but they can't be used as the dependency currently. If the purpose of this dependency is to make displaying an html help page of a package then an Opera Web Browser and microsoft-edge (-dev) can be used too as well as a terminal web browser - w3m; lynx; links2; elinks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1931698 Title: Can't uninstall firefox.
