It’s for the public and includes everything. They were discussing compiling it on 4Chan. This is also easier to access. Still noteworthy since Microsoft wouldn’t want this to happen.

From the article itself:
> The only new items that appear to have been leaked this week are the source code for Windows XP, Server 2003, and Windows 2000.

Nah, Chromium is perfectly fine. It's FOSS. Just avoid Chrome itself and you're good.

> Not Brave
> it's a Chrome derivative
It's a Chromium derivative, which is safe. The reason people see Chrome as dangerous is that Chrome is Chromium with all of Google's tracking bullshit added in. Chromium is open source and trustworthy as long as you can see what the group that makes a derivative (Edge, Brave) does with the code.
