    They always seem to have some critical limitation. Handbrake is too slow via flatpak to work. Flatpak Zoom had no camera access. Flatpak-only Zen browser can’t use passkeys. Zen browser asks to be my default browser every time I open it, even though it is and I always say yes; is this a flatpak limitation? I don’t know, and I’d prefer not to have to figure it out just for some theoretical benefits and more overhead.

      Flatpak Zoom had no camera access.

      I used Flatpak Zoom for all my job interviews recently. Camera and mic worked flawlessly.

      Flatpak Zen Browser is never asking me to be the default. Maybe it did in the beginning but I don’t remember.

          Probably but I think if the original comment wanted the message to disappear they would also have done that.

              Is there no other way on your system to see what the default browser is? On Gnome you can see a few of your default applications in the settings. And what happens if you open an html file for example? Does it open in Zen? If yes then it appears that Zen is set as your default browser, what more is there to check?

                Functionally, it’s the default because links do open in it, but why isn’t it able to tell that it’s already set?
