Chrome is a nonfree browser. Because we don't have the full source code of Google Chrome, we can't change it and we can't even tell what it does. The fact that parts of it are the same as another free program doesn't alter the problems. My understanding was that although binary distributed by google wasn't free, because it includes various bells and whistles implemented with non-free libraries (e.g. video decoding ...?), the guts of the browser _is_ actually free software, A combination of free code and nonfree code is nonfree. The free parts don't make the nonfree parts ok. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software. Use Ekiga or an ordinary phone call
