        The name ‘ungoogled’ is too complicated. How can a Google software be foss?

          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.
