Hello, I'm organizing my Debian environment by removing unused packages. Until then, there were no issues until I deleted firefox-esr, which caused chromium to auto-install. Now I'm trying to uninstall chromium but it prompts me to reinstall firefox again. The "--no-install-recommends" option didn't help. Terminal output shows chromium was removed, but firefox is reinstalled automatically. I need to clean up further.

I wouldn't face any issues with Chromium (assuming Google didn't take away sync support), so I added Chrome but it still tries to install Firefox when Chromium is removed. I'm likely going to skip Chromium altogether.
