Chromium is an open source web browser that strives for a secure, fast and stable web browsing experience for its users. It is the open source project behind Google Chrome.

Once Firefox is installed from Flatpak, updates are automatic so no need to reinstall. Download a specific locale version When installing Flatpak (via the command line or via the Flathub url link), the OS locale is being checked (OS locale and not the browser accept language header) and Flathub only sends the locales that share the same prefix. Thunderbird spearheads a Gecko-based alternative to Electron (following Firefox in deprecating XUL) 2. Thunderbird throws in with the various XUL-preserving Firefox forks to maintain XUL as a Gecko-based alternative to Electron (since the Firefox folks don't seem to have any interest in doing so) 3. I run Firefox from a Flatpak but I can't find how to have it open links when I click them in various XDG-compliant apps. How can I have xdg-open run Firefox from a Flatpak distribution? The application itself shows in preferences that it is not the default browser. It offers a button to set itself as default but it seems to have no effect. Unofficial Firefox flatpak repository This is an unofficial Firefox flatpak repository provided by Fedora and Red Hat maintainers and made for testing purposes. To obtain official Firefox provided by Mozilla go to official website. We're committed to updating this repository until we state otherwise on this website.

Extensions

Many popular, useful, and open-source browser extensions for Chromium are built as Debian packages that can be loaded locally and updated via Apt, reducing the need to use the Chrome Web Store and to trust the binary extension files that it serves. You can find these by searching for packages named webext-*.

Viewing PDF

Chromium can view PDFs without any additional extensions (internally using PDFium software library)
