content: It's pushed tracking binaries before. It was probably unintentional. Google's infrastructure in Chrome is simply so enormously vast, even they can't filter it all out of the opensource dump. I wouldn't worry as much that Google will intentionally poison Chromium. But I guarantee you all its tracking, de-anonymizing shit is not stripped out. Even Google doesn't have the resources to do it. Governments, foreign governments, and political organizations, will exploit that. More than anything else, it is the common interface to every system. No matter what OS or security you run, if you run Chrome, your computer is just like everyone else's. And you'll be attacked just like everyone else.
