Have you even tried searching for it?

Of course I have. I've never found any substantiation, which is why I'm asking. I use them every day so I would certainly like to know if there is, but the concerns I constantly see only apply to Chrome, and not Chromium-based browsers.

Google even says so for Chromium on its own official page!

This is specifically for the Chromium browser, not Chromium-based browsers. I know, it's confusing. Chromium is basically just the open-sourced version of Chrome.

Plus, Google actively creates and pushes for their "standards" via Chrome(ium), which allows them to push for even more surveillance.

This is yet another item attributed to Chrome and it's users. You can totally create a Chromium fork that adheres to conventional standards.

How hard can you simp for Vivaldi. Jesus Christ.

You don't think Google themselves admitting that Chromium has the same privacy notice is substantial? What more could you possibly need?

What's worse is that Vivaldi took an open source browser with a bunch of privacy concerns, added some things and closed the source. And you think it's somehow less of a cause of concern.

You're nuts.
