That being said: what's the difference between chrome and chromium and it's retarded brothers if you don't log into the browser? Is it still a botnet?
>inb4 omnibar sends search results to google
If it really is a botnet I might sacrifice the speed and extensions and go back to Safari...

>>56660687
Chromium isn't Chrome.

And Chromium's development is largely directed by Google staff. Stupid issues and annoyances open for years? Lol won't fix that, get used to it.

>>56660687
Are you retarded? Chromium still talks to Google's servers and sends your history. Open source doesn't mean shit.

[citation needed]

The reason /g/ says chromium is a botnet is precisely BECAUSE it's open source, so we can see for ourselves that it IS botnet.

why isn't the consensus the same with mozilla botnet? it is evident that cuckfox is even worse than chromium...

>>56660822
It should be the same. It isn't because /g/ wants an alternative to chrome so much that they'll ignore the fact that firefox is just as bad. Unfortunately the only non-botnet browsers are unusable peices of shit like linx and w3m.
