i just switched to it from windows 11 and im pretty used to using windows defender,so not having one here feels weird. i pirate a lot from fmhy.net with brave browser adblocker.

Last time I checked (which was somewhere within the last 3 years) not only will the snap version get installed but if you force a non-snap version of the software and do an update it will replace the non-snap version with the snap version. It's the kind of idiotic shit I'd expect from Microsoft.
