Re: Security & Privacy

Of course is the security and privacy of Google's revenues.

That what happens when a software application becomes an enabling product of the real business. Chrome is not there to let user navigate the web - is there to let Google profile and track users - and present the information Google is paid to display them. So what user think or need becomes irrelevant, after all they don't pay for the product, advertiser do.

People have been brainwashed into thinking open source is for their own good - but most of the time it is not. Sure, someone could fork and keep the old API and store alive - but where the resources would come from?

Maybe Brave could achieve it, but it wont' be easy.
