    Godspeed for Assange Amnesty for Snowden

    In 2024, following a High Court ruling that granted Assange a full
    appeal to extradition, Assange and his lawyers negotiated a deal
    with US prosecutors. Assange agreed to a plea deal in which he
    pleaded guilty in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, to an Espionage
    Act charge of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified U.S.
    national defence documents in return for a sentence of time served.
    [25][26] Following the hearing Assange flew to Australia, arriving
    on 26 June 2024.

    On September 26, 2022, President Vladimir Putin granted Snowden
    Russian citizenship.[38][304] The couple by then had two young sons
    born in Russia.[38] On December 1, Snowden swore an oath of
    allegiance to Russia and received a Russian passport, according to
    his lawyer.

    Is this a puzzle of some sort ?

    You can test with any other Chromium-like browser.

    bullwinkle@CHARGER:~$ apt search chromium
    p chromium - web browser
    p chromium-browser - Transitional package - chromium-browser ->
    p chromium-browser-l10n - Transitional package - chromium-browser-l1
    ...

    It's showing that Linux Mint has a copy of Chromium in it,
    if you choose to install it. That is what "apt search" is for,
    is to query the distro for whether there is a copy of something
    present or not. You do not need the "sudo" to do "apt search".

    apt search chromium # Check it is in your distro.
    sudo apt install chromium # Guess what this does

    chromium # That would start the browser that was just installed.
    firefox # This would start a second browser, to test a login attempt.
