With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Its still chromium based.

Also as a quick edit brave has been caught in some "snafus" when it comes to your privacy or your web browsing experience

Isn’t Chromium basically Chrome without the spyware?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. Chromium is the open source basis of Chrome but also developed almost exclusively by Google and already that one calls Google webservices. That's why projects aiming to "ungoogle" it exist.

Right, but just because a browser is based on Chromium doesn't mean it has the Google spyware, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily

Chromium is the open source project that Chrome is based on.
