I see the disconnect now. You’re mistaking “open source” for 'inherently good."

Uhhhh no you don’t see anything. I didn’t say anything like that.

the forks either have to either maintain an increasingly complex list of patches to apply to fix what Google does to Chromium (the browser that runs two thirds of the web) or simply accept it.

And they do the former.

So I ask again, what’s the problem?
