I recommend using
* Built in repo (apt get/arch/etc)
* Portable tar.gz programs
* Appimage

Ive used LibreWolf appimage on multiple distros including ARCH and DEBIAN based and Dev1

I personally dont recommend CLOUD, DRM, Vendor Lockin , online appstores that 'require' login or internet

That is my understanding.

That sucks. I might end up installing pulseaudio, which I have blacklisted...

I decide on a case-by-case basis if I use --no-install-recommends. Completely disabling it is not for me. Pipewire was probably installed when I upgraded to Chimaera.

That is my understanding.

I'm using Arch, which has v1.14.0, and that pulls in xdg-desktop-portal & pipewire with it. I presume you have Recommends disabled (which isn't the best idea) because it looks like De{bi,vu}an's version should also bring in those packages in a sanely configured system (ie, one that has Recommends enabled by default).

The Librewolf Appimage has working sound using ALSA (the build from the apt repo does not, for whatever reason).
Maybe an option ... .
EDIT: Typo

You are right, I forgot about that. I read about the build from their apt repo not working with ALSA for some reason. I won't use the AppImage either, because I want the browser to be somewhat sandboxed.

I have to admit that I am not any wiser after reading this. The conclusion is it doesn't work? I only tried the whole flatpak thing again because I read some recent post or article that stated that flatpak works with ALSA now. After upgrading to Chimaera and therefore a more recent version of flatpak, I thought I should give it another try.

Disclaimer: I don't use flatpak so I have no personal experience of this issue.

Please don't suggest to use the Librewolf apt repo instead. I will not.
