Good afternoon, I am uninstalling chromium from Debian 10 and the
procedure automatically installs firefox and the same happens when
uninstalling firefox. How to solve this? Thanks.
You probably have a desktop environment installed which Depends: on
a web browser.  So, when you uninstall one, it falls back to a different
one, in order to satisfy this dependency.

If firefox-esr is currently installed, then you can ask aptitude what's
keeping it here:

aptitude why firefox-esr
In my case it is meta package gnome-core. It is a pity that it doesn't have an alternative dependency on www-browser, this would be satisfied by google-chrome-stable, which I prefer over chromium.
