It's an admittedly weaker point: If folks want to avoid snaps (as this blogger professes) but choose Ubuntu then their next best option is (the default browser on Ubuntu): Firefox.

I guess a more succinct way to put it is: I actively oppose chrome and really don't care if the snap haters are screwed by Canonical's approach to packaging it.

I agree with you about chrome, but your point only works if nothing other than chrome is dependent on snaps, which seems clearly not what Canonical is aiming for.
