aren't we kinda passed the days of closed source browsers?
- jhasse 10y agoSafari and Edge are closed-source, Google Chrome (not Chromium) is too, in some way.
- bigbugbag 10y agoI wonder in which way chrome is not proprietary. AFAIK it is 100% proprietary freeware, at least this my understanding of the legal terms in the ToS / EULA: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/privacy/eula_text.html https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/privacy/eula_t...
- jhasse 10y agoIn the way that you can build a very similar version of it (Chromium) from source code released under OSS licenses. You can't do that with Edge, Safari or Vivaldi.
- bigbugbag 10y agoWell what browser are you using ? AFAIK there's not a plethora of popular free software web browsers around.
