I personally prefer LibreWolf (Firefox based)

There’s also Palemoon (Firefox cringe)

Yeah but LibreWolf is hardened and far more private and secure

My rule: if it’s not in my distro’s apt repository, it’s too niche to use. If you want folks to use Librewolf, package it.

There’s a Flatpak

It’s not about whether it’s possible to install via a single command; it’s about signaling that its popular enough for the distro to justify maintaining a proper first-party package for it.

That’s an arbitrary way to decide if a package is worth installing

What’s arbitrary about popularity? We use it to decide all sorts of things, including voting in a democracy.

Yeah but determining popularity based on wither or not it’s in a distro repo doesn’t make sense
