  • Interesting. It’s my understanding that flatpaks deliver the app as close as possible to the way that the developer intended. With an rpm, someone had to go and take the app from the developer and make it into an rpm, so there’s an extra step there.

    For sandboxing, yes, flatpak does do a really good job of that. Otherwise, apps would get sandboxed on Linux with either SELinux or AppArmor.

    For security, flatpaks give you the latest version of a package and updates come in automatically, so I view them as being very secure.

    Please point out any errors with my reasoning (open invitation to anyone). Thanks!


  • I just wish they had packaging easily available for Fedora/RHEL through a COPR or the like

    Why not get the flatpak?

    Also would’ve preferred if they used a stable release vs. the ESR of Firefox as the base, but I can understand why.

    Same

    and comes pre-installed with uBlock Origin, which is great.

    Agree 100%. I feel that FX should come with uBlock out of the box.
