    If anything, I only use ungoogled chromium if a website refuses to work in Firefox. Had a financial fraud and identity theft scam the other day hosted on a Singaporean form service thing that I had to report using that browser because the send report button wasn't working on FF.

    As much as I don't like it, it's probably a good idea to have a backup chromium based browser like ungoogled chromium just in case. Just be sure to not be like me and actually have it in some sort of sandbox rather than running the flatpak on its own.

    I was under the impression Flatpaks are sandboxed. (I am not an expert.)

    Flatpak is a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in (partial) isolation from the rest of the system.

    I also keep Ungoogled Chromium around as a last resort (AppImage in my case).

    Flatpak is not a sandbox

    Thanks for the info.

    Personally, I've been avoiding Flatpaks anyway on my main machine, but not out of security concerns. Mainly to do with size and the update frequency.

    Even the author says Flatpak is a sandbox.

    The most simple but also least effective sandbox type is the container or wrapper sandbox that builds an isolated process environment and then executes the target application inside.

    Flatpak provides an isolated runtime environment using a container type sandbox to execute the target application inside.

    ... there are two issues that prevent flatpak from providing a real sandbox environment...

    Just that it's no true scotsman, I mean sandbox.

    Flatpak does provide the sandbox. It's up to the developer to use it properly.
