Chromium is the open source base without the google spyware on top, kinda like AOSP vs. "Stock Android". Still sucks that Google has so much control over it, but it's a solid web browser.
Ohh true. I made a hasty comment. Yet because of Google, I never got to like any single chromium based browser.
It was like hundreds of computers I cleaned from Chrome which installed itself through bootstrapped or sideloaded in other applications' installers and setting itself automagically as default.
Well. It wasn't automatical, but used human lazyness or non-awareness that made them rigorously spam the ok button.
Was it 2008, or 2009 or something like that.
Even now when people ask some Chrome related problem, I reject them and give the only solution, uninstall.
