No, they’re not. They’re based on open source software. But by that measure safari is open source because WebKit is open source.

  > But by that measure safari is open source because WebKit is open source. There's a lot more closed source code in Safari than there's in Chrome. But sure: Why not give them credit for open-sourcing WebKit? Safari is closer to open-source than IE.

    And yet I trust Safari a fucking lot more than I trust Chrome. Something about not being a business reliant on harvesting every bit of personal information possible.

      And you're probably right. "Open-source-ness" shouldn't be the only measure when valuing software.
