Chromium team is no different in this regard. No options, for anything. |

It is extremely annoying when they implement 'privacy-violating' |
| 9 |
features like the previously visited sites in the New tab (before you've |
| 10 |
entered a URL), with no option to disable despite pleas to give that option. |

Developers and other habits (perhaps not seen at Google internally) are |
| 13 |
apparently not important. Even privacy can be compromised at times. Most |
| 14 |
certainly Google mostly cares for those outside the organisation who |
| 15 |
'evangelise' with the Google way of doing things. |
