> Why would Google even consider doing this? The author's extrapolations seem implausible. Bookmark synchronization is a non-issue as this is something any bundler of Chromium would have to build & maintain themselves no matter what engine they bundled. So Google excluding it is irrelevant. But for Safe-Browsing and Search Suggestions, not only are these sources of data/insight/revenue for Google, but more oddly: Google Safe-Browsing is used by Firefox and other browsers, and Search Suggestions is provided by ALL search engines that have such a feature to ANY browser integrating their search. Excluding these from Google's own open-source engine while non-Google engines continue to use them seems unlikely.
