Google Browser: Google Chrome And Chromium Download

google chrome browserI recently tried to download the latest version of the open source version of the Google browser called Chromium. A search on the Internet did not reveal a website with a download location in the first results. The only thing that came up was the build server of the Chromium project which listed all the builds of the web browser for download.

The Chromium website does not list a Chromium download link on its first pages, only one for Google Chrome, the web browser that is maintained by Google and that is using the same codebase. If you want to download Google Chrome you can simply visit the Google Chrome homepage and download the latest version of the official Google browser from there.

Users who want to download Chromium on the other hand can do so by visiting the Chromium build server which is listing downloads of the latest Chromium builds for both Windows and Linux. The main advantage of Chromium is that developers can build their own web browsers. Companies like Codeweavers or SRWare have created such builds which provide enhancements like support for Apple Macintosh systems or better privacy protection.

Here is a list of all the Google browser download possibilities:

Do you know of any additional Chromium build that should be mentioned on this page?

    I’ve tried Google Chrome four times and am ready to remove it again. It crashes and simply isn’t stable enough for me. I’ll stick with Avant and IE8.

    This article is very misleading. Chromium web browser was not developed by or for google.
    It is an open source project which google added it’s name to and tracking ability that watchs everything you search for to give you personalised google ads.
    Google has no interest in making the browser any better as far as i can determine. I have emailed them several times about several large problems with no reply and the problems still not fixed.

    Your list of google browser downloads is actually a list of chromium browser downloads.
