    I don’t get your point, so I’m not sure what to elaborate on. Chromium source code is still controlled and gatekeept by Google, and it’s full of proprietary Google garbage ranging from the obvious to the hazardously subtle.

        I see the disconnect now. You’re mistaking “open source” for 'inherently good."

        Because the source code is preloaded with Google crap which infringes heavily on the privacy of end users and internet health in general, the forks either have to either maintain an increasingly complex list of patches to apply to fix what Google does to Chromium (the browser that runs two thirds of the web) or simply accept it.

            I didn’t say anything like that.

            Yes, you did. In your first comment in this thread.

            what’s the problem?

            Your inability to grasp the problem after having it explain to you by multiple people, multiple times

                Here’s your first comment, where you imply Chromium is not bad for the web:

                I hear people say Chromium is bad for the web all the time but they all seem to think that Chromium = Chrome.

                I asked for clarification, and you confirmed my suspicion.
