      Well several things from Google are open-source. Now to say it’s “libre” it’s better to use FLOSS. Otherwise people think it’s “free of cost”.

      Basically, you have Chromium (open-source but with some Google shit in it) which is the base of Google Chrome (closed-source, with even more Google shit in it).

      Some people made a fork from Chromium they called Ungoogled Chromium that removes the Google shit that was in it.

      PS: Bromite is based on Ungoogled Chromium

        Chromium is still sponsored by Google, so they still represent the interests of Google I guess.
