I would like to use normal apt packages, and not be redirected to snap when I do sudo apt install chromium-browser. How do I toggle this off? I can't find it in the settings.

You can not. You need to manually block the snap version and install the other one yourself (by adding a 3rd party PPA). If you do not, even if you install the apt version, when the snap version gets a newer version number it would replace the apt version.
An exception to this would be a source install (you download the tar.gz, extract it in /opt/ (as that is the intended directory for source installs) and then use the executable in /opt/).
