Prove it.
I want you to go grab the source code from https://packages.debian.org/sid/chromium or http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/chromium-browser and let us all know which components of the browser make it non-free. Put it in a nice text document or put it in this thread which components are exactly non-free in the browser.
Can't prove it or don't want to? Stop being a cheerleader for stuff you don't understand and being part of the problem.
Hmm, it seems that the copyright file is automatically generated. I checked a few file with unknown license and they were free.
Thanks for checking Legimet. Did you use the license check method/scripts from https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28291 or something else?
No, I just checked the license headers of a few files of unknown license in the copyright file.
I think it shouldn't be too difficult to just check all such files. I did a grep UNKNOWN on the copyright file, and there's only 325 lines in the output.

That may be an old listing and they should revisit the codebase.
>Prove it.
Since software is proprietary by default the burden of proof lies on the party claiming something is free.
That is pretty easy to "prove". Just find the proper bug report (opened in 2009) in chromium's issues: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28291
It depends on many other bugs listed on the left side of the page.
Thanks.

My own Cyber Cafe has a start-up of 10 machines.
I did re-configured my DNS resolution to the Japan Open Nick server. It is the best and close to my region.
My data QS has improve by 70 percent. Even do, my connectivity/ Broad band is limited. It did help my business a lot. I even donated 1 dollar a month to contribute to the cause of Open Nick servers.
I even bought a second hand DSL Open Router 10/100/1000, to help me control, the Load balance and QS services.
Including a NEW Manageable Switch made BY TP LINK. All my computers are wired up with CAT-6E cabling.
Recently, my local telecom Service provider and owners, just finished 2 oceanic fiber optical cables runs to Japan.
The cool thing, only subscribers to my particular Telecom company are been pipe through those cables, not the competition. It made a huge difference in the connectivity.
Example: Using Ping, before the completion. my old ping was from 250ms to 150ms. know the new ping is 70ms to 85ms, depending on the time of that particular day.
I'm using DSL, a 4Meg pipe.
Adamantly, I refuse my service provider to let them sell my traffic, normally the default DNS service, which is the Google DNS services for security reasons.
When it came to protocols: UDP protocol for on-line games is wonderful and many other things, but TCP/IP it is a Microsoft drag queen, still this particular DNS open Nic server, stills holding and it is real fast and stable.
Thank You.

"Software freedom, it turns out, makes antifeatures impossible in most situations. ... A version of Firefox funded by advertisements would be too--users would simply build and share a version of the software without the antifeatures in question."
- FSF Bulletin, Fall 2007
So ironic...
Right on target more like.
I am a member!
Moailla can bank on the over 90% of users who won't "remove the anti-feature". Nonetheless, we'll benefit from the continued, and add-funded development. There's an irony, or something, here; I'm not sure how I truly feel.
Surely Mozilla make enough money from the Google search kickback?
There have been rumors of Google cutting the cord with Mozilla for years now, which would essentially cut off around 90% of the Mozilla Foundation's funding.
Honestly it's a mistery to me why google was supporting mozilla for such a long time.
I mean firefox is the biggest rival of chrome.
It's not really support, it's a business deal: Firefox leads people to use Google search, and in exchange Google pays Firefox a fraction of the ad revenue Google gets. Google does this for the same reason it does AdSense: it gives them money.
