whats the downside of running a web browser as a flatpak other than the overhead of having flatpaks installed? Isnt running a browser in a sandbox just better?
Chromium and Firefox already have their own sandboxing measures. Apparently flatpak actually prevents these from working properly, not sure if this is still up2date knowledge (i think i read about it in like 2020).
>>107252317Yes it still happens
>>107252317>>107252362>Apparently flatpak actually prevents these from working properlyit may weaken the browsers built in sandbox slightly, but its still in the flatpak sandbox and therefore still more secure unless it can ge tthrough both sandboxes
How does flatpak weaken Firefox's own sandbox?

>>107252434looked into this more deeply and apparently I am wrong. flathub is actually less secure when it comes to things like namespace escapes in rendering. RIP
