Chromium, Gecko, WebKit are free and OpenSource software, but it’s irrelevant for your privacy and security if those which use these are not. That is the point. Even Freeware proprietary can be more safe and private, for Example the SSuite is freeware proprietary and has the best and shortest PP/TOS I know, it’s because it is an Hobby Project of two electricians, which make money with their instalation workshop, no economic or other interests of their SSuite (donations if you want).
As said, the license of an soft or service respect of security and privacy is irrelevant, only the interests and ethics of the author is what counts, nothing else.
