Yes, you have argued that because it is impossible to be 100% certain that a piece of software is privacy-respecting, we cannot trust free software to respect our privacy. This in itself is sound, if your conlcusion is to avoid all software. However, your solution is to use Chromium, which in addition to its freedom issues has the same inherent problem that you cannot review every line of code. If you don't believe in trust, why make an exception for Google? > The only people from whom I asked to check > their code are the developers which is what bug reports are for. I had thought I remembered you asking someone in this thread to to prove that Chromium is flawed by reviewing the source code, but skimming back though the thread the closest thing I see is asking Magic Banana to investigate the Firefox source code, so I may have been mistaken. > You said you had no time to ask further.

I didn't have time to ask more about it at that moment, but I was and still am interested. If you have the time and desire I encourage you to start a more specifc thread describing it. > I am questioning the whole approach of looking at everything in > problem-solution pairs. We already have technology based on that. Can you explain what you mean by this? The way I interpret it, everything you say after this is ridiculous, so I'd rather that you clarify before I assume that I understand and risk putting words in your mouth.
