Browser OS appears as Ungoogled Chromium

[xXSalamanderXx]

If you have Ungoogled Chromium / Chromium installed - Browser OS is conflicting with these browser installations.

It is sharing the same name and application icon as Ungoogled Chromium.

Browser OS is an AppImage and Ungoogled Chromium is a Flatpak, so it's not like they are even installed by the same means. But nonetheless, a conflict is occurring between these two browsers.

I just opened the v0.20.0 appImage on below Ubuntu machine. Don't see this issue. @xXSalamanderXx can you share details about your installation and OS?

@shadowfax92 You need to have Ungoogled Chromium installed aswell. Did you install Ungoogled as a Flatpak before testing?

[shadowfax92]

Ah no, my bad. Let me do that.

@xXSalamanderXx Hmm, got ungoogled-chromium also installed (flatpak install --user -y flathub com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium), see don't see this issue still.

Can you share more details about your Linux env? I'll see if I can create similar.

@shadowfax92 looks like your desktop environment is xcfe. I think the issue is Gnome desktop related.

I'm on Zorin OS 17.3 Core. It uses Gnome and is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. If you want to setup a Zorin OS VM here's the link to the ISO. https://zorin.com/os/download/

"The most common Linux desktop environment is GNOME, which is widely regarded as the most popular and is the default choice for many major Linux distributions such as Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise."

[xXSalamanderXx]

I'm sure you'd get the issue on other distros by stock, as most distros do use Gnome by default.

Cool gotcha, thanks for the details! I'm a linux noob tbh.

Will try to see if I can get this setup.

Thanks for doing this :)
We all started as linux noobs :P I'm no expert but getting more knowledge every day after using for about 9+ months.
