Just to clarify, I am asking this question as I recently found out that on the next LTS version of Ubuntu, firefox will only be available as a snap. I myself am considering moving to vanilla debian but am interested in what others may be doing.

I'd rather install an OS that works the way I want it to rather than work around it.

When did installing user application become an OS thing? Especially something security conscious like a browser I always install from the upstream source anyway. Which on Debian or Ubuntu is as easy as editing your apt sources.
