      So? It isn’t google. Also google and Mozilla have Asian employees so I guess you’ll have to be not racist.

      I do agree that the Chinese government is problematic though.

        I’d like to point out that they said nothing about it being a bad thing and that all they did was say it was Chinese-owned, hence making your comment a pointless attack of nonsense.

          I think it’s pretty clear that that’s exactly what they were implying. What is it that you think they meant by that?

          And I agree with them. I also agree that it’s not racist but anything Chinese is pretty much defacto-owned and operated by the CCP.

            I personally thought they were implying that China could be a privacy concern, as you don’t have a single clue what happens with your data there. There’s zero reason to assume anything bad especially with a simple statement like that.

              …and this is a good thing?

                  I left it out because its not important. You said they didn’t say anything bad and then said you thought they were saying it compromises your privacy. Maybe you don’t care about privacy but I think most people would consider invading your privacy very much “a bad thing”.

                    This argument was never about invading privacy not being a bad thing? It was about the racism and such comment the other commenter made?

        It uses Chromium as its base, so is essentially Chrome with fancy things attached to it. It uses Blink, Chrome/Chromium’s rendering engine.

        We need fewer Chromium-based browsers out there. The greater marketshare they have, the easier it will be for Google to push W3C and everyone else around to conform to their desired business model.

        For example, when Google inevitably pushes WEI into Chrome, WebKit and Gecko (Safari-based and Firefox-based browsers) won’t be affected at all.

        If, however, 90% of all users end up on Blink (whether it’s Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge, Brave, or whatever) then Google can do whatever they want to the web.
