Why keep Firefox on the image?

• KeePassXC and the browser integration works as a flatpak
• Both of the DEs that I like, (GNOME and KDE Plasma) offer some kind of browser integration
  • Keeping Firefox in the host means I have that integration, it'll let you search through history, tabs and bookmarks
  • In the case of GNOME it'll let you interact with the website for GNOME extensions
• Avoid any kind of conflicts specially when working with scripts, webextensions and containers
• Even if you purge your flatpaks you still have a browser to work with

How does it work?

There's a GitHub Action that generates an image everyday, once you rebase to the image there'll be a timer running in the background that will upgrade to the newly updated image and you can forget about updating from now on.
