Chromium is an open-source web browser, developed by Google, which is based on the open-source Blink web browser project. Chromium is the basis for Google's Chrome browser, but it has some key differences; while Chrome has additional features, Chromium does not include them.
Chromium uses the same rendering engine as Chrome - Blink - and also benefits from the same security infrastructure such as sandboxing and software security checks. Chromium also includes security features such as process isolation, safe plugin execution, and prevention of phishing attacks.
Chromium is a versatile web browser, allowing users to customize their browsing experience. Users can modify the interface design, install extensions or add applications to the browser. Furthermore, Chromium also allows users to sync their settings, browsing history and bookmarks with other devices.
Chromium is also known for its performance. The browser loads web pages quickly and performs very well in terms of memory.
