For example, I cannot use KeePassXC Browser extension on Flatpak Firefox cause this implementation is borked. However in native version works flawlessly

Use the native version, it is one of the best maintained software and has access to “user namespaces” for isolation. Now search on the internet what that is XD

minus-squareboredsquirrel@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoDont mind then. Secureblue uses a strange hacky workaround for manking Flatpaks supposedly more secure. So then try the other things I said.
