Stop lying to push your biases please. People are smart enough to see through it.
Chromium is an open-source project and no one has ever identified any spying code. If you think Google is capable of sneaking it in, then you should be worried about other projects they contribute to like GCC, LLVM and above all else the Linux kernel.
Google has no business interest in putting backdoors into software that they've open-source for goodwill in the first place... they're certainly not open-sourcing this with the expectation that the FOSS community will help. Just look at the issue that was linked here: they offered to accept and even help people develop patches, but no one was interested - not one developer from a distribution using Chromium with an old kernel contributed. I think it's quite reasonable to drop support for old kernels when clearly no one is interested in it.
