FlatPak is not the as secure as everyone think it is.
I would be happy to find some sources comparing bubblewrap with native Firefox or Chromium sandbox. Because the Torbrowser flatpak is nearly completely isolated
I don't have that comparison but here are some resources that critics FlatPak's misleading security

Okay nothing new, nothing about the actual bubblewrap sandbox afais.
Yes they often have bad permissions, but thats because otherwise they would break.
The process is converting standard apps to Flatpaks, by actually implementing PORTALS. Portals are a special file manager that can open files outside the sandbox and symlink it to the flatpaks internal storage. So you can grant access only to needed files.
