> All browser-side code is open source Indirectly relevant - It is not the client source code that is ever the issue. It is the server side code and the business model that matters. Client can be even closed source, if it is zero-telemetry. There is no danger for user privacy there. But if the client is not zero-telemetry, and is phoning home, at the very least private information like IP address will be transferred and we have no way of knowing what is done with it. The original post talks exactly about the problem with dependency on the server side which for a browser (and an ad blocker for that matter ) should ideally be zero with the option to opt-in for things like updates.
