Google's bias is now noticeable to the normies. (Dr. Juric is at the University of Washington, for reference.) Best quote of the tweet:
for anyone with a shred of awareness of human history it should be clear how unbelievably irresponsible it is to build a system that aims to become an authoritative compendium of human knowledge (remember Google's mission statement?), but which actually prioritizes ideology over facts. History is littered with many who have tried this sort of moral flexibility "for the greater good"; rather than helping, they typically resulted in decades of setbacks (and tens of millions of victims).
It looks like the good Doctor may have had a bit too much to think...
Chromium aka Apple's WebKit aka linux KHTML is open source.
The real bad stuff Google adds in Chrome and isn't open-source so you can't even know what they are doing exactly without reverse engineering it.
The main bad thing about Chromium is Google runs the source and extension repo and makes it hard for derivatives like Brave to keep up with their adblock and privacy protection patches. But they can only do so much fuckery here since Brave and others can fork it at any time and take over development.
There's even an ungoogled chromium which works surprisingly well. It is however my secondary browser, Firefox supremeancy for as long as possible since I don't like Google nor the huge market share they have.
