- stjohnswarts 6y agoHow long before they rip out open source parts and make chrome closed source or a much more limited licensing and start sticking all their proprietary network protocols in it so that you can't fork Chrome any longer. I personally believe that's the endgame for google.
- lukeramsden 6y agoThat's a valid point, and a good one. I certainly hope they don't. Is there precedent for them doing something like that before?
- mda 6y agoI don't think there a single instance of an application that Google did what you described. Why do you think it will start now? This doesn't make any sense.
- throwaway2048 6y agoGoogle has been moving open source components of android into closed source Play store components for years now.
- jefftk 6y ago> all their proprietary network protocols We're literally discussing this on a post where Chrome is switching from a proprietary protocol (Google QUIC) to a standardized protocol (IETF QUIC). (Disclosure: I work for Google, speaking only for myself)
- joseluisq 6y agoVery interesting project. ungoogled-chromium seems to addressing many of the concerns that inhibit control and transparency. E.g Chromium even without a Google account cannot address those concerns.
