apt policy snap
snap:
   Installed: (none)
   Candidate: 2013-11-29-11
   Version table:
      2013-11-29-11 500
         500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 Packages
         100 http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 Packages

In the case of namely Chrome, I believe, it is quite probable that it 
may be installed as a flatpak or snap package.

Moreover, it is reasonable to use some sandboxing technique for 
proprietary applications. I have not tried flatpak. I do not like snap 
due to forced updates at arbitrary time, inability to test some old 
version, issues with setting up a local mirror (must be registered in 
Canonical).

I do not like default security model of snap as well, but I have seen 
some knobs in GNOME settings. I do not remember if there were one for 
removable storage devices.
