| Google to block Adblock from Chrome... again? |

Has anybody here successfully built a pared down, bare bones version of Chromium? Not Chrome, Chromium. If so, whats involved in doing it, what kind of build environment does it require? I don't trust Google at all. I don't want Chromium to have privileged access to anything. I don't trust programs that claim to isolate other programs either, unless they are ones I am already familiar with. |

In my opinion, two of the biggest problems as far as internet privacy and annoyances go are JavaScript and "cookies". Unfortunately every browser I've tried has been extremely lacking as far as offering any kind of intelligent management tools for them. Use of browser extensions has become mandatory. The way the internet is today, I won't use any browser that NoScript doesn't work with. And the entire concept of cookies needs to be rethought. I wouldn't even know where to start with that convoluted mess. |

Cookies are a hack because the web is some fucked up ball of crap that evolved by strapping more fluff to a turd so I agree there. |

It was a little trivial as you can still do it from about:config but then it would have been good if they made a button to toggle it on/off and put into where you customize the icons and toolbars so if you want it out you can place it where you want on the toolbars rather than installing and depending on some extension to manage it. |

You do realise Chromium IS Chrome, built from pretty much the same code base, just without the Google branding... right? |
