Does node.js call home to google?

from http://ift.tt/2AKxJoZ Chromium is obviously safe as it has a huge developer team behind it and vulnerabilities are solved rather quickly. As for privacy... You will not be avoiding Google. No matter your browsing habits (i.e. not accessing any Google services). Even Chromium phones home with Google and there is no way to completely prevent Google from identifying you as long as you're using a Chromium-based browser (doesn't matter if it's Chrome, Chromium or off-shoots like Iron). Analyses of network traffic clearly show that they all contact Google. The data being sent is encrypted, we do not fully know what it is. In the great scheme of things, prediction, pre-fetching, etc. don't make a lot of difference. Whenever you're browsing with Chromium, you ought to assume that whatever data you entered, whatever website you attempted to visit or visited, it can be directly linked to you. You will not get privacy with Chromium.
