No, it is not.

"there are 50 or so Google services that have been integrated in the Chromium code base."
"The services are free but have commercial value by providing data that can be used to inform advertising and marketing algorithms, or in some cases, such as Google Pay, have more obvious benefit to the provider."
- AnthonyMouse 3y ago> switching to Chromium does not solve those issues. But it allows them to be solved. Then if you don't like Google services, you can remove them, as some have done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungoogled-chromium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungoogled-chromium
- eesmith 3y agoWhich I have already pointed out.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoBut then I'm not sure what your objection is.
- eesmith 3y agoYou wrote "The most popular web browsers are open source." That is not true. I replied: "The most popular web browsers use open source, but none of Chrome, Edge, or Safari are open source web browsers." Chromium is not one of the popular web browsers. If it is, tell me how many people use it compared to Chrome. I also asked "Is ungoogled Chromium the same codebase as Chrome? What about Vanadium? Brave? Edge? Opera?"
