The question which need to be asked about Chrome clones and mods is not what additional features they have added or removed. That is still "addons" territory. The question which needs be asked - did you (developer) made any different decision at all about Google made decision. E.g. Google decides to abandon some protocol, or add support of some protocol, or whey decided to abandon some core option which adblockers depend on etc. Did you (developer) made a different decision at that point, forked code and maintain your decision independently from Google. Until that happens all the Chrome mods are just that - slightly lagging behind Chrome versions with addons.

- bitexploder 6y agoChrome is a privacy nightmare. They push you hard to use a Google account and suck up your searches and private data. It’s an avoidable browser for privacy and a free Internet because if that alone.

It is a tall order, but I worked/talked with couple of people from different departments and the company seems to maintain the user-centric spirit. I do not love the HN mentality - I do not like it = it is crap, because I am HN user and I know the best, but I never actually did more than skin deep inspection of the product, or googled my concerns... But I am most definitely capable of judging.
