Does Chromium include any of the Google botnet or government surveillance features? Should I use it?

Yes

Probably, you would never know unless you paid someone to look at all the lines of source code. It would be ill-advised. But of course you've probably already made up your mind so just use Iridium if you must use a Chromium-based browser.
>>54682519
almost all of it, yea
>>54682519
yep, altough being loud enough helps.

Connects to botnet each time you open a new window. Probably sends your history as well.

Regardless of what you do, your new tab page looks like that and connects to Google

Lol, good luck in hiding the botnet
>>54682946
That's totally tunable.
>>54682701
Wrong.
>>54682519
Sure. It's the best browser (performance and security-wise) out there. I keep Firefox for Zotero only (Zotero stand-alone isn't as feature-rich as the xpi)

Iridium literally says "it doesn't stop Google from phoning in home"
You tinfoil retards do know that your ISP already knows everything you do, right? Tinfoil faggots are always so stupid.
>>54685893
ISPs cannot see what you do assuming every site you visit is HTTPS. At that point they just have metadata. Using a VPN prevents them even moreso from getting a lot of that metadata.
Does Vivaldi strip out the Google botnet code since it is based on Chromium?
