Ugh. A whole new world of hurt where things can go horribly wrong. I primarily use Firefox anyway but some sites work better with Chromium. So I held my nose and attempted the installation...

Code:
apt install snapd
snap install core
snap install chromium

Unfortunately it didn't work, snap exits with an error when attempting to install the browser.

Code:
[mobian@mobian ~]$ sudo snap install chromium
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "chromium" (1428) ([start snap-chromium-1428.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job failed.

So I just uninstalled the whole mess ("apt purge snapd") and will live without it for now.
