And anyway snaps are not monitored by Canonical and have been known to serve malware:

FWIW, the Firefox snap is provided by Mozilla. The Thunderbird and Chromium snaps are provided by Canonical.

Why not add the

snapd

package to the Devuan repository and let the users decide?

I have it installed on my Debian systems and use that to upgrade Firefox, Thunderbird and Chromium. It's better than waiting for Debian to update them, plus Snap packages run sandboxed.
