当您想打开任何网站或进行冲浪时，大多数时候，您寻找的网络浏览器是Google Chrome。这很常见，每个人都知道。但是您是否听说过Chromium，它也是 Google 的开源网络浏览器？如果没有，则无需担心。在这里，您将详细了解什么是Chromium以及它与Google Chrome的不同之处。

Google Chrome：Google Chrome是由^{(Google Chrome)}Google发布、开发和维护的跨平台网络浏览器。它可以免费下载和使用。它也是Chrome OS的主要组件，用作 Web 应用程序的平台。Chrome源代码不可用于任何个人用途。

Chromium：Chromium是由^(Chromium)Chromium项目开发和维护的开源 Web 浏览器。由于它是开源的，任何人都可以使用它的代码并根据自己的需要进行修改。

Chrome是使用Chromium构建的，这意味着Chrome使用^(Chrome)Chromium的开源代码来构建其功能，然后在其中添加他们自己的代码，并以他们的名义添加，其他人无法使用它们。例如，Chrome具有自动更新的功能，而 Chromium 没有。此外，它还支持许多Chromium不支持的新视频格式。基本上，两者都有相同的基本源代码。产生开源代码的项目由Chromium和Chrome维护，使用该开源代码的项目由Google维护。

Chrome 有哪些功能，而 Chromium 没有？^{(What Features Chrome Has But Chromium Does not?)}

Chrome有很多功能，但Chromium没有，因为Google使用了^(Google)Chromium的开源代码，然后添加了一些其他人无法使用的自己的代码来制作更好的Chromium版本。所以Google有很多功能，但Chromium缺乏。这些都是：

• 自动更新：^{(Automatic Updates: )}Chrome提供了一个额外的后台应用程序，可以在后台保持最新状态，而 Chromium 没有这样的应用程序。
• 视频格式：^{(Video Formats: )}有许多视频格式，如AAC、MP3、H.264，Chrome支持但Chromium不支持。
• Adobe Flash (PPAPI)：Chrome包含一个沙盒纸API ( PPAPI ) Flash插件，它使Chrome能够自动更新Flash播放器并提供最新版本的Flash播放器。但是Chromium不附带此功能。
• 扩展限制：^{(Extension Restrictions:)} Chrome带有一项功能，可以禁用或限制不在Chrome Web Store中托管的扩展，另一方面，Chromium不会禁用任何此类扩展。
• 崩溃和错误报告：^{(Crash and Error Reporting: )}Chrome用户可以向Google发送他们面临的错误和崩溃的静态数据和数据并向他们报告，而 Chromium 用户没有此功能。

铬和铬的区别^{(Differences Between Chrome and Chromium)}

正如我们所见，Chrome和Chromium都是基于相同的基本源代码构建的。尽管如此，它们之间还是有很多不同之处。这些都是：

• 更新：^{(Updates: )}由于Chromium是直接从其源代码编译的，因此由于源代码的更改，它经常更改并提供更新，而Chrome需要更改其代码以进行更新，因此Chrome不会经常升级。
• 自动更新：^{(Automatically Update:)} Chromium没有自动更新的功能。因此，无论何时发布Chromium的新更新，您都必须手动更新它，而Chrome会在后台提供自动更新。
• 安全沙盒模式：^{(Security Sandbox mode: )}Chrome和Chromium都带有安全沙盒模式，但默认情况下在Chromium中未启用，而在Chrome中启用。
• 跟踪 Web 浏览：^{(Tracks Web Browsing:)} Chrome会跟踪您在 Internet 上浏览的任何信息，而 Chromium 不会保留任何此类跟踪。
• Google Play 商店：^{(Google Play Store: )}Chrome允许您仅下载Google Play 商店^{(Google Play Store)}中的那些扩展程序并阻止其他外部扩展程序。相比之下，Chromium不会阻止任何此类扩展，并允许您下载任何扩展。
• 网上商店：^{(Web Store: )}谷歌为^(Google)Chrome提供实时网上商店，而Chromium不提供任何网上商店，因为它没有任何集中所有权。
• 崩溃报告：^{(Crash Reporting: )}Chrome添加了崩溃报告选项，用户可以在其中报告他们的问题。Chrome将所有信息发送到Google服务器。这允许谷歌^(Google)抛出与用户相关的建议、想法和广告。也可以使用Chrome的设置从Chrome禁用此功能。^(Chrome)Chromium没有任何此类报告问题功能。用户必须承担这个问题，直到Chromium自己发现它。

Chromium 与 Chrome：哪个更好？^{(Chromium vs Chrome: Which one is better?)}

上面我们已经看到了Chroma^(Chroma)和Chromium之间的所有区别，最大的问题是哪个更好，开源Chromium或功能丰富的Google Chrome。

对于Windows和Mac，Google Chrome是更好的选择，因为Chromium不是稳定版本。此外，Google Chrome包含比Chromium更多的功能。Chromium始终保持更改，因为它是开源的并且始终在进行中，因此它有许多尚未发现和解决的错误。

对于Linux和高级用户来说，隐私更重要，Chromium是最佳选择。

如何下载 Chrome 和 Chromium？^{(How To Download Chrome And Chromium?)}

要使用Chrome或Chromium，首先，您应该在设备上安装Chrome或Chromium。

要下载和安装 Chrome，请按照以下步骤操作：^{(To download and install Chrome follow the below steps:)}

1.访问网站^{(Visit the website)} 并点击下载^(Download) Chrome。

2. 单击接受并安装。^{(Accept and Install.)}

3. 双击设置文件。Google Chrome 将开始在您的 PC 上下载并安装它。^{( Google Chrome will start downloading and installing it on your PC.)}

4. 安装完成后，点击关闭。^{( Close.)}

5. 单击桌面或任务栏上出现的Chrome 图标，^{(Chrome icon,)}或使用搜索栏搜索它，您的 chrome 浏览器将打开。

完成上述步骤后，您的谷歌浏览器^{(Google Chrome)}将被安装并可以使用。

要下载和安装 Chromium，请按照以下步骤操作：^{(To download and install Chromium follow the below steps:)}

1.访问网站^{(Visit the websites)}并点击下载 Chromium。^{(download Chromium.)}

2.解压^{(Unzip the zip folder)}所选位置的 zip 文件夹。

3.点击解压后的 Chromium 文件夹。^{(Click on the unzipped Chromium folder.)}

4. 双击Chrome-win文件夹，然后再次双击 Chrome.exe 或 Chrome。^{(double-click on the Chrome.exe or Chrome.)}

5. 这将启动您的Chromium浏览器，Happy Browsing！

完成上述步骤后，您的Chromium浏览器就可以使用了。

Difference Between Google Chrome And Chromium?

When you want to oрen anу website or do surfing, most оf the time, the web browser yoυ look for iѕ Google Chrome. It is very common, and everуbody knows about it. But hаve you ever heard about Сhromium which is also Google’s open-source web browser? Іf not, then no need to worry about it. Here, you will get to know in detail what is Chromium and how it is different from Google Chrome.

Google Chrome: Google Chrome is a cross-platform web browser released, developed, and maintained by Google. It is freely available to download and to use. It is also the main component of Chrome OS, where it serves as the platform for web apps. Chrome source code is not available for any personal use.

Chromium: Chromium is an open-source web browser that is developed and maintained by the Chromium project. Since it is open-source, anyone can use its code and modify it according to their need.

Chrome is built using Chromium which means Chrome has used open-source codes of Chromium to build its features and then add their own codes in it which they added under their name and no one else can use them. e.g., Chrome has a feature of automatic updates which chromium does not have. Also, it supports many new video formats that Chromium does not support  So; basically, both have the same base source code. The project which produces open-source code is maintained by Chromium and Chrome, which uses that open source code is maintained by Google.

What Features Chrome Has But Chromium Does not?

There are many features that Chrome has, but Chromium does not because Google uses the open-source code of Chromium and then adds some of its own code which others cannot use to make a better version of Chromium. So there are many features that Google has, but Chromium lacks. These are:

• Automatic Updates: Chrome provides an extra background app that keeps it up to date in the background, whereas Chromium does not come with such an app.
• Video Formats: There are many video formats like AAC, MP3, H.264, which are supported by Chrome but not by Chromium.
• Adobe Flash (PPAPI): Chrome includes a sandboxed paper API (PPAPI) Flash plug-in that enables Chrome to automatically update the Flash player and provides the most modern version of the Flash player. But Chromium does not come with this facility.
• Extension Restrictions: Chrome comes with a feature that disables or restricts the extensions that are not hosted in the Chrome Web Store on the other hand Chromium does not disable any such extensions.
• Crash and Error Reporting: Chrome users can send Google statics and data of errors and crashes they face and report to them while Chromium users do not have this facility.

Differences Between Chrome and Chromium

As we have seen both Chrome and Chromium are built on the same base source code. Still, they have many differences between them. These are:

• Updates: Since Chromium is compiled directly from its source code, it frequently changes and provides updates very frequently due to change in the source code whereas Chrome needs to change its code for updation so Chrome does not upgrade that much frequently.
• Automatically Update: Chromium does not come with a feature of automatic update. So, whenever a new update of Chromium releases, you have to update it manually whereas Chrome provides automatic updates in the background.
• Security Sandbox mode: Both Chrome and Chromium come with a security sandbox mode, but it is by default not enabled in Chromium whereas in Chrome it is.
• Tracks Web Browsing: Chrome keeps track of information whatever you browse on your internet while Chromium does not keep any such track.
• Google Play Store: Chrome enables you to download only those extensions in the Google Play Store and block other outside extensions. In contrast, Chromium does not block any such extensions and allows you to download any extensions.
• Web Store: Google provides a live web store for Chrome while Chromium does not provide any web store as it does not have any centralized ownership.
• Crash Reporting: Chrome has added crash reporting options where users can report about their issues. Chrome sends all the information to Google servers. This allows Google to throw suggestions, ideas, and advertisements which are relevant to users. This feature can also be disabled from Chrome using Chrome’s settings. Chromium does not come with any such report issue feature. The users have to bear the issue until Chromium itself finds it out.

Chromium vs Chrome: Which one is better?

Above we have seen all the differences between Chroma and Chromium, the biggest question arises which one is better, open-source Chromium or rich-feature Google Chrome.

For Windows and Mac, Google Chrome is a better choice as Chromium does not come as a stable release. Also, Google Chrome contains more features than Chromium. Chromium is always keeping changes as it is open source and always in progress, so it has many bugs that are yet to be discovered and tackled.

For Linux and advanced users, for whom privacy is more important, Chromium is the best choice.
