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.

Install such apps from other sources.

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.
