It's snap confinement. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1741074
I'm also fiddling around to find a workaround. Main problem is that Native Messaging Hosts do have dependencies you don't just want to put into the snap. So I don't see a probable solution around there.
This is also a problem if you are using firefox installed using snap
Can confirm the problem is also with Firefox. Which is a bigger problem now, since firefox
is shipped as snap by default in Ubuntu LTS 22.04.
brotab still works you just have to give it permission.
Here how it's done for firefox
flatpak permission-set webextensions brotab_mediator snap.firefox yes
Mediator app wouldn't start when installed into a Chrome/Chromium via snap.
There are several issues with how Chromium is run via snap:
~/snap/chromium/1165/.config/chromium/NativeMessagingHosts/brotab_mediator.json
. Solution: support that location inbt install
(TODO)./usr/local/bin/bt_mediator
I couldn't figure out all the issues with the snap-installed chromium and I'll probably will not do that since I removed it and installed from apt repo:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saiarcot895/chromium-dev
. Anyone's willing to dig into it, welcome.
