Debtap make downgrading packages easy on Archlinux

today I updated my system and Floorp is completely break userchrome (again) but this time it's very severe basically it doesn't load userchrome at all, so I look into a way to downgrading it but unsuccessful but I can just download .deb file then convert it to Arch installer with Debtap and install it with usual "paru -Udd" and everything just work. So if you haven't heard of this wonderful software yet I think you should check it out https://github.com/helixarch/debtap

(Observing Gentoo user is puzzled by the notion of a package manager that can't handle downgrades correctly without third-party assistance.)

Why not just grab the previous PKGBUILD version that worked?

This is why I use btrfs/snapper with pacman hooks
