Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 23.10 using Brave browser SNAP and I still face the
issue (cannot open links in evince -using Brave browser snap).
Here are the versions:
```console
❯ apt list --installed | rg 'evince|apparmor'
apparmor/mantic,now 4.0.0~alpha2-0ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]
evince-common/mantic,mantic,now 45.0-1 all [installed,automatic]
evince/mantic,now 45.0-1 amd64 [installed]
libapparmor1/mantic,now 4.0.0~alpha2-0ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]
```
Brave Browser 120.1.61.101
`journalctl -f` log:
```console

```
I see the following in `/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince` with all
includes commented, including `snap_browsers` line. Is that normal?
Thanks
