    Chromium is not stripped down at all, just use googerteller and see. It contacts Google everywhere, on the password list, on the account list, in some settings pages, and just randomly sometimes.

    It is very crazy. And also it is not fingerprint resistant at all.

    I am using all flag settings, policies and GUI settings possibly existing and it still is like that. So no, it is not the same privacy-wise.

      Oh really, what policies are you using? Cause my Firefox does all the same things you mention regarding calling Mozilla services for all sorts of things, including telemetry. Oh, and it isn’t fingerprint resistant either… so please, share what you’re doing.

        For Firefox I am either using Librewolf or Arkenfox user.js

        But as Librewolf has a good CI/CD system I think I will switch to that. Problem is they are not active at all, while the arkenfox guy is very active.

        For Chromium I use the secureblue policies in /usr/etc/chromium/policies/managed
