Meanwhile there are are a number of popular video codecs that aren't supported in Chromium, like the H.264 used by Netflix, for example. Moreover, glitches are hard to flag than bugs in Chrome, with the flagship web browser featuring a mechanism by which users can file reports for engineers to analyse. Updates, meanwhile, aren't issued to Chromium automatically, and it's highly unstable in nature and therefore prone to crashes the fact that it's "tremendously buggy" is even written in the description on its download page. It's also fully open-source, as opposed to the Chrome browser. While the Chrome browser is refined and strives to be bug-free, Chromium is rough around the edges and lacking in features. Some of the biggest differences between Chrome and Chromium centre on the quality of the build and how updates are managed. Some more accomplished developers are even specifically invited by the project's leaders to upgrade the existing code and come up with ways to build a "safe, faster, more secure computing experience", as explained on the Chromium website.
However, it only uses the base open source code, thus making it significantly less feature-rich than other, more mainstream browsers.ĭue to Chromium's open source nature, developers are encouraged to contribute and expand Chromium by using it in other software projects and creations. Chromium is perhaps best known, however, for powering Google’s in-house operating system, Chrome OS, and is also used on the tech giant’s range of Chromebooks, running the browser and operating system on the same codebase.ĭespite originally being designed as a project for developers seeking to download and edit codes, Chromium is now also a browser in its own right.
