The 2nd most popular browser on Linux

Chromium is an open-source web browser project from Google, and a number of other contributors, that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The resulting end-product is used to produce the closed-source 'Google Chrome;, as well as a set of Chromium-branded nightly builds.

    Good browser. But the extensions base is poor to challenge Firefox's plugin base. It is it's plugin base that makes Firefox my primary browser, otherwise I'd have been switched to Google Chrome completely.

    If Mozilla fix Firefox's memory usage issue, Google'll have to fight hard to make people Google Chrome.

    My daily browser now that it has extension support. Some areas it's lacking, but it's faster than Firefox and stuff.

    Google Chromium is a great browser, its very fast and is user friendly. I usually prefer Opera browser because it has nice features but I think that Chromium is tops, except so far I haven't been able to use it to watch online videos (youtube). I read once that it sometimes calls home to Google (I don't trust Google with my privacy) but I don't know how true that is, especially since it's open source... it's apity i cant decipher codes :(

    Well, Google has its own version of Chromium, but if you don't trust Google... ;-)

    My new favorite browser. Fast and simple.

    Extensions works fine:
    — FlashBlock
    — Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer (by Google)
    — Google Docs Preview
    — Better Gmail

    Has replaced Firefox, as it was getting to blky and slow as well as safari with to few extensions.

    So far Chromium is by far the best browser I've ever used

    Works perfectly, well integrated under ubuntu (top window style, package repository for the chrome.deb..).
    Damn fast (if only Firefox had the same JavaScript engine..)

    Still lack some features (eg. a standalone engine like xulrunner, to create our own offline websites and executables)

    I don't think it need 100000 plugins like firefox.

    I mean, okay chrome is certainly more modern that the vintage xpcom api, plugins are more light and stable, but if you have 3 computers, you need to install 3 times your 10 plugins, to get the same "navigation feeling".

    Where is the "internet" advantage with this approach? Take a facebook or a gmail: it's the same feeling, whatever the browser is. Add browser-specific plugins, and you lost this liberty (and need to manually reinstall them each time, on each browser.. fastidious..)

    Feel like we are back in 1998, with heavy client-side extensions..
