But I was not talking about thechrome itself. AFAIK are these Google related parts removed in chromium; at least they were several years ago.I wonder if that's the case. AFAIK Chromium is distributed by Google,so it's just Chrome with the proprietary bits removed. I'd be surprisedif Google was going through the trouble to remove the bits that are beneficial to them. I'd expect a de-Googlized version of Chrome/Chromium to be named differently (maybe Wolfram, as suggested by Bret) and distributed by some other team (one that cares more about Free Software and privacy than Google).Wolfram is taken. Perhaps Vanadium? Cheers- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table " How toxic is seaborgium?Currently, there are not very many uses of seaborgium. The element's radioactive state makes it toxic to organisms and so has no biological role."(Maybe, microsoft or google have hijacked (made a hostile takeover of) a sealiner, to that they can conduct their operations offshore, to evade paying taxes (or employees) under any country's laws...)So, maybe, a good, alternative name, for an open source web browser like chrome/chromium, but, not controlled by the google borg, should probably, best and most simply, be named NotChroming...:) ....
