I use chromium and firefox inside the docker with selenium to automate website tests. So them replacing the chrome apt with snap was exactly what broke my deployment.

Selenium has standalone images with the browser so that you can use them with Docker.

It is too fragile to install yourself all the pieces.

I'm actually quite happy with my Ubuntu 18 based homemade docker image. And lucky for me, 18 still has some years of support ahead of it.

It's just that I know that I cannot update it to Ubuntu 20 without snap breaking things for me.

If you ever want to switch, the image is `selenium/standalone-chrome`.

Thanks for the hint :)
