As soon as someone starts making overblown marketing-based claims like that, I'm staying away. It's obviously a re-branded Chromium although the source is apparently available (at the bottom of the page). Still, the whole thing looks fishy to me.

Yeah, I eventually saw the source and I'm downloading it .. just for kicks.. But honestly, probably just the binaries are "infected" (assuming they are).. Or is simply a kid who really messed up his code..
Ohh, and never even saw the NSA/Prism safe.. Now that's nice, who knew it's that easy to fool the NSA :P
