          And? Don't confuse Chromium with a Google trick, it is only one if it is used as is, which no one does. Chromium is 100% FOSS and therefore can be gutted to anyone's liking, which Vivaldi certainly does. In its eight years of existence, Google has tried to introduce things to control it, and until today it has always found its teeth in an edge in Vivaldi and also in others. This is why it is now trying to gain control through its huge mount of web services, such as YT, and pages that use its APIs. This is where Google has influence and this affects everyone, regardless of the browser they use, be it Chromium, Gecko or WebKit. This is the real danger, not others.
