google chrome vs chromium

Computer Aid Posted on 12 March, 2009 by Luigi Martin12 March, 2009

For those who don’t know, there is a new browser out there called google chrome.

What even fewer people realise, is that chrome is based on a browser called chromium.

I really like how chrome operates (but not the user interface, nor the lack of / difficulty in loading, useful plugins.

At first glance, both Chrome and Chromium look identical, except chrome has a small google logo on the top bar.

But dig a little deeper, and you notice a few minor differences:

  • chromium has an extra “customize” menu: “new window in profile”. This seems to allow you to create different profiles (eg a “news” profile, with different browser settings)… although this gave me an error when I created a new profile. Yet the new profile got created & worked fine.
  • chrome has a lengthy google “terms of service”, which concerns some people.
  • Chrome is currently at version 1.0.154.48, while Chromium is at version 1.0.156.0 (ie its newer)
  • The Chrome logo is a colourful metallic ball of blue, green, red, yellow, while chromium is a bland metallic ball of grey, blue, blue, and blue 🙂chromiumchrome

 

Both are very quick.

Both have a pleasingly simple interface (too simple for me, but I think most people will like it).

Personally, I prefer Chromium, but there is hardly any difference between the two.
