[kwlug-disc] et tu, Firefox?

[Anton Avramov]

That is interesting. 

Chrome has obviously bad privacy, since it sends all kind of data to
Google. But chromium is the Open Source project and shouldn't send
anything. In fact since a few years back I can no longer even share my
google profile in Chrome with Chromium since it doesn't log me in. 
Do you have some other information? Please, share.

Cheers
