- Embed this notice@bobjonkman I noticed that (at least the first time) #Firefox in a Snap has a long delay before it starts.
No doubt that's time used in navigating through various security hoops or perhaps mounting a special filesystem, but for the most common software (name-brand web browsers), it is unnecessary and unwanted.
I noticed that it did not put something like Node.js in a Snap. IMO, Node is the poster-child for Snap and Flatpak. It shouldn't be in the default install, it likely changes too fast for most distros' LTS model to handle well, and it is widely used by certain developers. If Snap / Flatpak / et cetera have some security hardening, Node (and its related 'npm' package manager) is exactly the place it is needed.
