I've been thinking of switching over to Voyager, but I heard that Voyager was built on elements from Chrome. As a layman what does this mean? (lemmy.world)

Is using Voyager giving Chrome an opportunity to harvest user data? I'll take whatever you know about the Voyager dependence on chrome.

I can't search for the lemmy thread because I'm using jerboa, but it was on a thread about lemmy clients. Are you aware of this being a concern for other people maybe - lemmy.clients being dependant on chrome toolkits?

I'm sorry if I'm not being very clear, this entire thing about lemmy and different clients and defederation and chrome sucking for privacy and all is very new to me. I've checked the GitHub page for voyager, but it doesn't really mention chrome anywhere so I don't know what to make of the whole thing.
