I want to install Ubuntu + Debian blend.
Mostly pure Ubuntu, only snap packages from Debian (from regular deb repositories).
Can I use Debian netinst for start?
I am asking, because I have not found any netinst for Ubuntu.

While it may work somewhat it will ultimately fail. Debian and Ubuntu are not always binary compatible. You can build sources from debian on ubuntu usually, and vice versa. But installing packaged binaries via apt from both distros will only result in a mess at best, and a paperweight of an installation at worst.

Does Debian even have snap packages? I'm running Debian 12 on most machines these days, and all my software was (thankfully) packaged as debs.

Why would Debian have snap packages?
Snap packages are developed and maintained by Canonical.
If you are looking for a Debian/Ubuntu hybrid there are probably easier ways to go about it than what you propose.
Take a look on Distrowatch, there is probably something there that would suit your needs.
Of course, I know DistroWatch Search and its ability to find distributions based on Ubuntu.
Sadly, I cannot find option in it for distributions with Chromium browser and without Snap packaging...
I'm not sure I understand what you want.
Does it have to be Ubuntu based?
Perhaps this website can help you decide what you are looking for:

If I understand you correctly these are good choices IMHO:
EDIT: These listed below are snap free, but can very well use them if desired.

And of Debian, if that's to slow for you you can always add Testing sources.

I second the above case use, and while I can't speak for SeijiSensei, the testing sources have been real stable for me

I just have a vanilla repository setup (except for the choice of server):
So far none of the packages I routinely use have been unavailable.Code:Hit:1 http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian bookworm InRelease Get:2 http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian bookworm-updates InRelease [52.1 kB] Hit:3 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security InRelease
I'm using KDE Plasma as my desktop, just as I did with Kubuntu.
