Yes you're right spell check surely can be! We'll work on it. Chromium is difficult to work with as something like spell check will be built to be supported as a web service so migrating it to a local service takes a bit of time

Good thought -- thanks!! Will work on a changelog and making all code available very very soon! In terms of other issues, we and everyone rely on the whole open source community to be watchful over chromium and report any possible "b

Thanks for the update to the pressure cooker/backpack article - nevertheless there was a police visit based on his googling which is a bit scary. There are many dangers you could imagine if what you search could be used against you (a

Privacy isn't "free", you're right. Epic supports password saving -- since it's the user's choice, we determined that we could leave it in. Many things can be done in a private way, so for example we have imp

Sorry through a third-party proxy service powered by Spotflux. You're right that if it was powered by us, it would be sketchy in terms of a privacy improvement!

There are hundreds of companies that track you actually and they sell that data to many, many others. In an average hour of browsing, about 40 will try to track you. What you browse & search is very personal and very revealing - it&#x

Source Code coming soon. We've made changes to many chromium files & we're a small team, so haven't had a chance to open source it all in a manageable way. In the meantime, don't hesitate to write us if you want to

@spolu, we do block fb widgets and such...but a like link should work. You can via our "umbrella button" allow third-party cookies on any website.

Nice to see someone getting emotional outside of us. We didn't think it was cool (actually mostly uncool) but were just relaying our observation to date. At this point, everything is up for potential change and thus a problem area to be ho

Great and Thanks! Sorry for the downtime, It took about 7 minutes or 8 minutes for Mosso to upgrade the RAM on our cloud-based app server (that's kind of a long time but anyway?!).
