In short:. The is development oriented. Users are invited to download Google Chrome. The gives to users only 'Nightly' builds (using the official Snapshots repository).
This site gives to users a choice of builds: 'Nightly' (also on its ), LKCR, stable and portable builds. All downloads are from reliable sources only:. → official 'Nightly' builds (Check the Chromium buildbot ^^). and → other free and open-source builds Explanation. Chromium exists since.
It is the free and open-source project behind the famous browser. Intrinsically, maintained by many (developers, engineers, graphic designers, security researchers.) from Google, Opera, Yandex, Samsung, Intel, Facebook, Hewlett-Packard. And external contributors. Chromium is not designed by Google! Officially, Chromium does not have a stable release. The official developers (aka The Chromium Authors) do not release it to end users. So it is continually in development.
Google Chrome is the stable release. But is not open-source. In fact, Chromium has a stable version. ^^ Example: The current stable on is 63.
In this version, there are 108 patches which correct many issues (bugs, feature requests, enhancements.). Because Chromium is open-source , anybody can build it. You must be a developer to do this. Just get the from the official Git repository and compile it! The stable version is used in:. and (obviously!).
(Official Chromium developers). (Official Chromium developers).
the Nik builds, on. the FreeSMUG and Marmaduke builds, on. many distributions. other. other projects like,. Basically, Chromium has few versions every day, but you can stick with a version for about a month before you need to upgrade.
Dev A DEV build (known as, 'Nightly' or 'Raw' build) is compile of the Chromium code whenever there are submitted code changes. A snapshot build will be created as long as the code compiles successfully.
Its binary files are stored in the of. This build is really just development tool for checking whether issues are fixed in the latest Chromium code. It can be buggy and unstable. Lkcr A LKCR build does at least provide some level of guarantee that the particular revision actually should build, which is good for third-party builds for not wasting time on potentially uncompilable builds.
As a result, usually trails the dev trunk by a few revisions (commits). If building straight off dev, it can be a guess whether a build will compile or not, so a third-party builder could be wasting processor cycles that could otherwise go to a known compilable build (LKCR). Lkgr Each snapshot build is then run through the. If that snapshot build successfully passes the automated tests, it is considered as a good build: LKGR (Last Known Good Revision). And can become potentially a stable build.
Note LKGR builds were stored in the until Friday, 18 Mar 2016 (1 year ago). The Chromium team has removed few LKGR builders (, and ) but other ones still work (, ). Finally, there is no LKGR binary shared by the Chromium team. But any developer can re-compile it! ^^ stable A stable build is a LKCR build tested and improved by the Chromium team. In resume:. dev: Untested and may be unstable version, downloadable on the and my.
LKCR: Similar to 'dev' version but for third-party build. stable: The most stable version.
Except for stable versions, the developers use the official Snapshots repository to re-compile their builds. So I give you the opportunity to download only nice Chromium releases;) If you want, check the simplest multilingual page: This entire website ( and included) is auto-updated each hour by the server itself.

Chromium vs Google Chrome. Chromium browser has:.

Sometimes you need to use Google API keys to talk to some Google services (Sync, Speech, Hotword, Translate, Now, Hangout.). And then you Google a bit and follow all the instructions. But page does a not-so-great of explaining how to do this, so I will. Without your own Google API keys On: Launch Command Prompt and enter the following commands: setx GOOGLEAPIKEY 'no' setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID 'no' setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET 'no' Now launch Chromium. With your own Google API keys (Based on an wrote by Chris Van Wiemeersch). Clicking on that yellow disclaimer message takes you to the confusing.

FYI: the Chromium project restricts the APIs to those subscribed to that group - that is, Chromium devs.). Make sure you are logged in with the Google account associated with the email address that you used to subscribe to chromium-dev.
Log in to the, and or press the 'Create Project' button. From the project's, select the tab in the sidebar. You'll see a modal with an API key.
Copy and paste that somewhere. Now create an.
After you complete all the steps and the 'content screen', you'll be presented with a modal with your Google Client ID and Client Secret. You'll need to set three environment variables: On: Launch Command Prompt and enter the following commands: setx GOOGLEAPIKEY yourkey setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID yourclientid setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET yourclientsecret On. In the shell, type: launchctl setenv GOOGLEAPIKEY yourkey launchctl setenv GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID yourclientid launchctl setenv GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET yourclientsecret On: Plop these in your /.profile file: export GOOGLEAPIKEY='yourkey' export GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID='yourclientid' export GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET='yourclientsecret' Now launch Chromium.

In simple words, a of Chromium means Chromium engine is used to create another web browser. Proprietary browsers: (developed by official contributors of the Chromium ). (by Google). (by Opera Software. Golden Brick Silk Road/, since July 2016).

(Proprietary. Versioning system is not clear, - Archive: ). (Proprietary. ). or with 'better privacy' than Google Chrome.
Why not recommended? Because all of these browsers are closed-source, outdated, based on Chromium (like Google Chrome and Opera). And most of the features they remove don't even exist in Chromium, in the first place. Control your personal info and yourself ^^ Moreover, InsanityBit explains this very well on his blog: (2012.
Archives:, ) Note if a new browser with 'better privacy' than Google Chrome is based on Chromium and is fully open-source, it should be ok for me. Google is famous. Its private policy and marketing strategy are well known. So you have to ask you some questions. Do you trust in an unknown team more than Google? Is an outdated Chromium fork?.

). For a better privacy protection, use open-source like Chromium or Firefox. Do not forget: It is open-source does not mean it is secure and respects user privacy (and security ≠ privacy). But, if your browser is fully 'open-source', it means that somebody with the capability can review the. With versioning tools like SVN or Git, it is easy for developers to find malicious code (Ex: ). Only an open-source code allows such defense. This is better for secure browsing and user privacy.
While I recommend Firefox as the most reliable browser for privacy enthusiasts (cf. Settings), Chromium is probably a reasonable alternative for everyday web browsing. My way (but do as you like ^^):. Modify your to stop 'natively' domains who serve ads, spyware and malware. Use a VPN with strong encryption for your whole OS or router (It is better than browser VPN/proxy ). Use an up-to-date web browser. Change few.
Install few You cannot be anonymous on web even using a VPN or TOR network. But you can protect your privacy against user tracking tools.
These tracking and profiling tools are everywhere today. You can find them both in software and websites.
The reason for updating to the latest version is security. As security threats are found, they are fixed.
Using an old version expose user to a number of security holes and privacy issues. Browsers are far more subject to hacking than other software.
Adjust all settings and advanced settings in:. Do not log in with a Google account. Do not save passwords in the browser (Prefer a free and open-source password manager like or ). Enable (or private) mode (Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut. Use a to start Chromium in this mode). Disable all options in the 'Privacy and security' section because most of them use an external Google service.
Example: about phishing and malware protection. Enable 'Block third-party cookies' ( → Cookies). Disable 'Allow sites to run Flash' ( → Flash). Enable 'Ask before accessing' ( → Location). Disable to prevent IP address leaks by editing the 'Preferences' file (Ref.

Yes, it is possible. The common entry methods for Chromium virus are freeware downloads as bundled software (bundleware) and spam e-mails.

New ThinLTO build going live in a few minutes. Updated compiler optimizations. Hot code still at -03. Remaining code now at -Os.
Extended the compiler's software pipeliner down to -Os as well. Upped the link time optimization level to the most aggressive level. It is one of the quicker ThinLTO builds in recent times acccording to a few benchmarks I casually ran. Plus I still need to evaluate other options, such as tweaking register allocation, before going public with them in ThinLTO. BTW, the sandboxing error with using Chromium via a symbolic directory link is resolved, too. Think it was due to a NaCL workaroud I had applied with the previous Polly build.
As always, thanks Warren!:) I too have noted some performance regressions in recent weeks with various builds; ThinLTO and otherwise. I cranked up LTO agressiveness to max to hopefully help. The -Os code paths should not matter much, but I will reeval to verify. I was trying to reign in code size a little along the colder code paths, but I can go back to -O3 across the board easily enough if needed be.
I still would like to get PGO working with Clang+LLD, but as of this week, it continues to not profile the needed renderer process(es).
