Question by Stupid Be Thy Name: What’s the difference between Google Chrome and Chromium?
Chrome is using a different browser or the same as Chrome? If they are different, what are the advantages / disadvantages of chrome Chrome? Which is better?
Best answer:
Answer by James
They are essentially the same thing. Google Chrome is the end product designed for everyday use. Chromium is an opensource project to develop the code that runs Google Chrome.
One thing to note, Google Chrome releases obtained via Google officially should be stable whereas code from the Chromium project is cutting edge and likely to be buggy.
If you want a browsing experience that isn’t riddled with bugs, go for Google Chrome. If you enjoy browser crashes and Flash memory and CPU usage being through the roof, you clearly need the bleeding edge untested code direct from the chromium project.

Chromium is the open-sourced code from Google that is open to anyone who wants to build on it. Chrome is designed for the everyday user and is more stable. Both browsers are the same thing, except one is for developers and one is for everyone else. I use Chromium because I’m one of those people that wants the most advanced software. But yeah, Chrome is the better of the two;D
