Bug Description

chromium has hardcoded dependency on bash (>= 4) which is very strange - I expect browser to work regardless of which shell is installed in my system. The dependency should be changed to dash and all the bashisms in source code (if any) should be eliminated to improve portability.

bash is Essential. It'll be installed regardless, though it's true that it's a bug that chromium declares the dependency in the first place.

I'm marking this as won't fix because it's low importance and that dependency doesn't exist in the snap, only in the .deb, which is only for Bionic, which will soon reach its end-of-life.
