sandboxing a browser makes total sense. my firefox and chromium running as snaps...

Both have performance issues when installed as snaps across my 24.04 and 26.04 machines.

Browsers literally sandbox their own tabs.

And the entire Linux user space is already sandboxed by design. This is why you type sudo.

If os and software developers actually designed with the Linux filesystem in mind, there would be no need for Flatpaks and Snaps and AppImages.

There's a whole directory for user applications and their libraries.

/usr

I sandbox with firejail. There is no reason to use snaps. Also in firejail I never experienced a crash.

> never crashed a single time

I'm very happy for you. How does that help the people who do encounter issues?
