Chromium source code is still controlled and gatekeept by Google

What? Chromium is open source. That's how Chromium-based browsers even exist.

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

Uhhhh no you don't see anything. I didn't say anything like that.

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.

And they do the former.

So I ask again, what's the problem?

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

If you're just going to blatantly and plainly lie about what I said, where everyone can see it, I'm not going to continue engaging with you. Bye now 👋

Which in no way resembles "open source is inherently good", but thank you for reading my comments back to me.
