It's a bug but what is to stop Google from sending everything you type in any textbox to Google? Have they said anywhere that they won't do such a thing? Completely trivial to do and extremely useful in providing data about you to Google that they could potentially never look at and use to train AI.
- delibash___ 8y agoAnd what's to stop Mozilla from doing so? Or any other browser?
- squarefoot 8y agoThe simple fact that Firefox is Open Source, therefore auditable, while Chrome is not. ps. Nope, Chromium is not Chrome.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoSo use Chromium?
- josefx 8y agoChromium already got caught side loading a black box binary plug-in after it was installed. One of the chrome devs. even made it clear that it worked as intended as the DRM support it implemented was core to the Chrome product and saw no reason not to silently download and execute it. So it is the same as chrome, only run it if you unconditionally trust Google.
