Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web.
Chromium is the open-source project behind Google Chrome.
One of the major aims of the project is for Chrome to be a tabbed window manager, or shell for the web, as opposed to it being a traditional browser application.
