It bothers me that this Advanced Protection Program feature (which protects against risky downloads) requires turning on a sync feature that hands data over to Google. Single-use Gmail logins are becoming the new PGP keys, with all the fun that entails.https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/advanced-protection-program-expands-chrome/ …

To be clear here, I don't mean that Google corporate comes in at night and packs Chrome full of surveillance backdoors. Rather, I mean the interests of the Chrome team (user agency) are often in diametric opposition to the interests and business model of their corporate parent.

Do you have any estimates of how much Google spends per year on Chrome? I feel like it has to be at least tens of millions or dollars, but I have no real data to base that guess on.

do you think an independent chrome project would move forward as fast as it does with google? and what does firefox have to change to satisfy the same ideal?

Those are both great questions, and I don't know enough about Firefox to have an answer. I think that a firefox analogue of a chromebook would be something amazing, if it were made to a similar level of security

This kind of reads to me like: If the cabin of a helicopter were split off from the whirling blades overhead, it could be a much safer vehicle. Maybe there are other ways to support & propel the thing, but it's a different thing at that point.
