Hm, yes, I have seen this. I think I'll take a second look, but I'm
thinking ("googled") Chromium and Google Chrome still would have
different levels of Google integration (Googlization, if you will).

For instance, last time I checked, Google Account integration was not
working with Alien's (googled) Chromium packages; as I understand, this
was due to Google's muzzling of unofficial Chromium packages as of 15
March 2021; see https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/google-muzzles-all-chromium-browsers-on-15-march-2021/
