- robertlagrant 3y agoCan you cite how you know this?
- Yizahi 3y agoEasy check - does Chromium project makes independent decisions and diverges from the decisions Chrome makes? Meaning, is it a true fork (disregarding who was first/original for a second) or not? So far it seems that everything Google pushes happens both in Chrome and Chromium. I mean significant decisions, like protocol support, rendering, etc. Sure, they cut out their spyware from it, just to please anti-monopoly organizations, but that's about all. Chromium is a puppet entity, existing only for Google's sake.
