In this instance, neither are a part of the official Debian repo, but they are both available via the reputable company's website.
The company initially only had a snap app, but within the last few weeks released a .deb version which I jumped at as a Debian user
I have installed the .deb and and completely removed the snap (along w/ snapd)
However, after thinking about it for a while, I'm second guessing myself from a privacy perspective. Canonical is more business-friendly so less 'locked down' from a privacy perspective than flatpaks, but am I correct in assuming that .deb files are mostly unrestricted, assuming that my install is a tacit agreement of their privacy practices?
Can someone let me know whether my privacy concerns are better/worse/the same between the two install methods? Let me know if I'm off-base. The only other thing that comes to mind is manually locking down specific aspects via apparmor
