- perseusmandate 6y agoNot a valid comparison since those are core products of both companies. Google hasn't and never will open source Search.
- techntoke 6y agoAndroid is one of Google's core products, as well as web (including Chromium).
- andrekandre 6y agochromium is open source because webkit (khtml) was open source many useful parts of android are closed, and open source versions of most apps are languishing (calendar, contacts, dialer etc)
- techntoke 6y agoHave you checked out F-Droid lately, and how does this compare to Apple or Microsoft?
