Chromium is open source. You're confusing Chromium with Chrome.

It's like confusing "open-source" Android, AOSP and Play Services: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/07/googles-iron-grip-on...

>While Android is open, it's more of a "look but don't touch" kind of open. You're allowed to contribute to Android and allowed to use it for little hobbies, but in nearly every area, the deck is stacked against anyone trying to use Android without Google's blessing. The second you try to take Android and do something that Google doesn't approve of, it will bring the world crashing down upon you.

The difference is, AOSP on its own is unusable, but Chromium Is.

AOSP on its own was perfectly usable, in the early days. That frog has been thoroughly boiled.
