Who is not letting them pick what they want? You were not forced to use Chrome's sync features, but I am not aware of any extensions that will replace the Chromium sync functionality entirely or even mostly. And even if it did, it is not nearly as integrated of an experience.
- paxys 6y agoPeople who want the convenience and don't care about syncing their Google account and sending their keystrokes to Google servers can always install Chrome. For Chromium, staying away from proprietary services by default is much more keeping with the spirit of open source.
