Google Chrome? Yes, it is definitely a privacy concern but Chromium is open source. Debian includes Chromium packages and if there were legitimate concerns about Chromium it would have never been distributed in the official Debian repositories. If the author knows there's something sketchy going on with Chromium they should present their findings, otherwise it's just unsupported conjecture.

You think relying on Debian as proof there isn't lies outside the bounds of conjecture?

The author provided no evidence and it passed the Debian project auditing process, among several other distribution audits. I specifically mentioned Debian because their standards for privacy and open-source purism are just sightly below Richard Stallman level. Believe me, someone would have complained about it by now.

People have been complaining for a fair amount of time.
