I thought that Chromium was a “Degoogled” version of Chrome. Where did that myth come from? I still see it spread online.
- it still has a lot of google baked in. If you want true degoogled chromium, use degoogled chromium. But you should use firefox isntead. It's better for freedom and user rights.

  that's how google wants it. If people think chromium does'nt have any google in it, they'll use it thinking they're giving the thumbs down to google
  
  Any idea where the myth comes from? Did Chromium start off “clean” and become contaminated later?
  
  I think google bought chromium, but I'm not 100% sure.
