My understanding of the nature of chromium, is that it retrieves all

Did you notice, that I was talking about the reduced, crippled
OpenSource browser: chromium, which is based on chrome. But I was not
talking about the chrome itself.
AFAIK are these Google related parts removed in chromium; at least
they were several years ago.
Best regards,
Ah.
Then, perhaps, the open source derivative should have been named
something else, for example, Wolfram, which is in the same group as
chromium, to be not confused with chrome.
I note that the name iceape is sufficiently different to seamonkey, and
iceweasel sufficiently different to firefox, to not be confused with the
original.
Similarly with icecat and burningdog -
" The name “IceCat” was coined to show our relationship to the Mozilla
Firefox browser. Ice isn't Fire and a Cat isn't a Fox, so it is clearly
a different package (we don't want Mozilla blamed for our mistakes, nor
cause confusion with their trademarks), but is equally clearly
intimately related (of course nearly all of the work comes from the
Mozilla foundation effort, so we want to give credit).
The gNewSense BurningDog browser and the Debian IceWeasel browser are
similarly derived from Firefox, also with the intent of being free
software. Technically, however, these projects are maintained entirely
independently of IceCat. (Previously, this GNU browser project was also
named IceWeasel, but that proved confusing.) "

In looking into this a bit further, at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29
is
"
Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, primarily
developed and maintained by Google.[8] This codebase provides the vast
majority of code for the Google Chrome browser, which is proprietary
software with additional features.
The Chromium codebase is widely used. Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet,
Opera, and many other browsers are based on the Chromium code. Moreover,
significant portions of the code are used by several app frameworks.
"
So, regarding
"chromium, which is based on chrome" (in the message above)
it appears to be the inverse, but, both still controlled by the google
borg.
