- module0000 7y ago> I'm not going to give any assistance at all to Google Neither am I, but I wanted to point it out anyway. If things like chromium-dev had existed back then, maybe we wouldn't have had the IE fiasco we all remember. Or maybe we would have anyway, who can tell :)
- mcguire 7y agoOut of curiosity, how much flows from Chromium to Chrome, compared to vice-versa?
- comex 7y agoChrome is basically a distribution of Chromium; there are some extra bits added like DRM, but otherwise it's built straight from the Chromium tree. It's not like Android, where there's a private repo that occasionally gets thrown over the wall in the form of AOSP.
