@JTskulk @woelkchen Because I can easily limit which files are seen by applications in a flatpak.

I love being certain that my browsers can not access my ssh keys or actually anything outside the Downloads folder.

@Yora @woelkchen most people do not look beyond the UI. Unfortunately writing a pretty UI is the easy part of writing a browser. Maintaining some browser engine is much harder.

So make sure to use a browser with an engine backed by as big an open source project as possible and one where the browser engine has as few downstream patches as possible.

Wrapping the entire engine in a new set of APIs not available upstream involves way too many downstream patches for my taste.
