Why do so many on here consider Chromium to be bad for privacy when it's open source?
just because its open sourced doesn't mean people went through all lines of code to verify it. It uses google apis

cause it still uses some of googles botnet
theres an ungoogled chromium version
either way .. they are just retarded cause lets be real ... most of the botnet posters are NEETs who haven othing to worry about and just do it for the meme
they think anyone at Google cares that they jerk off to anime trap porn and are concerned about it for no reason at all
the only people who should worry about this are the ones who are professionals and have actually something valuable to lose

>you shouldnt worry about privacy if you have nothing to hide
can you smart people band together and make a g browser that isnt a botnet :)

You know what's even funnier? Why so many people shun Chrome because 'botnet' but still use Windows 10.
Compared to Windows 10, it's super easy to disable Chrome's 'botnet' features:Don't login.
Browse in Incognito mode.
Uncheck the 4 or 5 privacy-related checkboxes in settings

Do you have a source for that, or are you just shitposting?

>Still connects to googles servers at any given moment

thats why ungoogled chromium exists

open source isn't free software and doesn't value ethical issues
chromium did a lot of shit in the past, it even downloaded silently a binary which listened to your microphone
