- steveklabnik 13y agoYes, it absolutely does, and I am very much not happy about it. I am the most anti-Google person I know. Unfortunately, it is impossible to live in a world of ideals, and so, I must compromise from time to time. As I mentioned elsewhere, I have another machine with 100% free software that I use for PGP when I need to keep secrets.
- frou_dh 13y agoWhere does "must" come from in this case? You could choose to practice browser fetish on anything.
- steveklabnik 13y agoWhich other OS is like ChromeOS but without Google?
- stass 13y agoLinux? FreeBSD? Haiku? There's plenty of choices, and all of them have modern web browsers available (and frankly, better browsers than Chrome. People should really stop drinking google kool aid and take a look at the chrome codebase first before using it).
- steveklabnik 13y agoNot the same thing.
