LOL it does probably take too long in Synaptic if you're used to the terminal anyway.
But Linux Lite is for people who are either not accustomed to the terminal or people like me who are scared to death of the dreaded ▄︻デȶɛʀʍɨռǟʟ═══━一.
I just "know" that mistyping a single character in a command can ignite the atmosphere and destroy all life on Earth. It's one of the reasons I use Linux Lite!
It's funny, now. I didn't like it when Linux Lite shipped with added PPAs and I said so in this forum. Now here I am eating those words, recommending pre-installed PPAs for some apps. Mainly because I'm one of those anti-Google guys that despises Google Chrome and other Google features that I consider "spyware."

Some of us non-newbies prefer PPAs to snaps or even Flatpaks. Perhaps in future releases, a few PPAs (like ubuntuzilla) could be included and enabled so users can get Firefox, Seamonkey, etc from Synaptic would be cool.

I do not see problem with Firefox on 6.0, also looks like snapd is quite light, and memory loss is not existent. So better to remove google chrome, and install Firefox if you want privacy. Also that way you support different browser engine, so we have competition.
