A variety of add-ons and plugins are readily available for download. The setting, colour scheme, etc., are all adjustable. Incognito mode is for you if you want a more discrete web experience. #### Cons You can only talk about issues with the Chromium team on forums, and there is no conventional way to contact them. The browser doesn't have the standard codecs. There is currently a lack of access to plug-in , and it not being automatically updated necessitates user intervention. --- ### The browser with the most privacy and the most frequent update - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bruna Aparecida A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Cosmetics - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered But Google Chromium brings me numerous relevant experiences the ease of logging into my account and accessing various services, be it gmail, one drive, all in one place, this makes my day a lot easier, being much more productive. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros With the Google chrome browser I can search for everything I want in a matter of seconds, as it is very easy to use and the cost is very cheap, making everyone have access to this browser whether on a cell phone, computer, and with different search methods. #### Cons The cons of the Cromos browser that despite being fast, is one of the main responsible for consuming your computer's RAM memory, especially when we open several windows at the same time, so it becomes slower and even errors appear on older computers. #### Reasons for choosing Chromium I evaluated that with Chromium it is updated more frequently than other browsers and due to the privacy issue offered in this browser that others do not have. --- ### Browsering - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Korol H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Chromium is part of Google Chrome and it also makes browsering easy and fantastic. #### Cons Chromium version is not easy to install. --- ### Chromium won't let you down - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I am using Chromium on a daily basis to surf the internet, manage passwords, and use extensions seamlessly for my work needs. It is a great browser in my opinion which can be safely used for personal and professional needs. I love the fact that it neither tracks the browsing history nor shares it further which is a blessing for privacy lovers like me. It has given me a satisfactory browsing experience and I think that it would be a great alternative to any browser. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros chromium is a good, reliable, and secure browser that comes with a variety of features. It is a clean interface and comes with an array of extensions to choose from. It is a simple to use, lightweight browser which comes with decent security features. It does not track the browsing history which is why I like it the most. #### Cons Chromium is a good browser that comes with an array of features and frequent updates which is a good thing in my opinion. The only thing that bugs me about Chromium is the fact that these frequent updates are needed to be installed manually. #### Reasons for switching to Chromium We switched because we were curious about Chromium and wanted to see what it offers. --- ### Easy, Clean Browser - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Josh M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered If you are looking for a simple way to run a search, Chromium is the browser for you. I enjoy how clean and simple it is. When I want a simplified, organized, to the point browser that won't bog me down with extensions, features, and forty-six other buttons on the search bar, I open Chromium. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Chromium's best feature is its simplicity. Everything that is essential in a browser is available and easily used in Chromium. I really enjoy how accessible Chromium is on every device, even a SMART Board! Nothing flashy or fancy is done through Chromium, but that's just the point. This is a no-frills, easy and clean browser that can be picked up by all users on any device and it works very well. #### Cons It seems a little contrary to say that the simplicity of Chromium is also its weakness, but it would be nice to have some more customization options or installable extensions, etc. A very minor complaint, but a few additional features would be nice. #### Reasons for switching to Chromium I just wanted a simpler browser that wouldn't overwhelm anyone. --- ### Chomium the "un-googled" Chrome alternative, mostly. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeffrey R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Software functions as one would expect for a high end web browser. You have full access to the google web store for your addons and themes. The quick and functional browser gives a solid alternative to firefox. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that it is based on the chrome standard so most all websites load quickly and properly. #### Cons I don't like the fact that google is still involved in the software package development. Google is hard if not impossible to trust with our personal data and this is yet another way they seem to get some info from you even if you don't want them to. #### Reasons for choosing Chromium It works. #### Reasons for switching to Chromium Firefox is becoming less and less trustworthy, no different than Chromium I suppose but I have also had problems of late with firefox properly rendering some sites and with certain addons. --- ### The Primary Browser - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is my primary browser and it is the base for most browsers out there. Hard to name a feature that is not well thought-out. The new tab grouping feature is now my favourite, as I use to keep at least 25-30 open tabs. Also, it is hard to find a website that does not render well on Chromium. #### Cons Sometimes memory can get in the way. Tabs still consume too much memory, and I personally feel the need for a feature to "save tab groupings" and "open them if the browser is restarted" so I don't lose work. --- ### The best google browser - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tiago M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Chromium is a browser that consume less resources than most of the browser nowadays #### Cons Everything we need is a lightweight browser , so chromium fill's up every expectation , don't have complaints --- ### Google Chrome but unbloated - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Thomas P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Chromium is the core of Google Chrome and then uses less RAM while having the same stability #### Cons Some really useful features like Google Services on Google Chrome are missing in Chromium --- ### An average browser when compared with the Big brands. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Abrar K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Market Research - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall its a light-weight version and can be used for basic browsing. It is an open source and the community is good enough. We have the options to restrict data, clear cache and cookies, and manage history and downloads. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The search engine is fast and it gives accurate results. We can download extensions and plugins. We can change the theme, background, etc. The incognito mode is helpful when browsing privately. #### Cons The software is slow when compared with Google Chrome. It lacks many features and customization options. The browsing speed is also a bit on the slower side. There are privacy and security issues too. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 33 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/reviews/) ## Chromium Popular Comparisons [Google Chrome vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/vs/google-chrome/)[Microsoft Edge vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/vs/microsoft-edge/)[Firefox vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/vs/firefox/)[Safari vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/vs/safari/)[Brave vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/brave-profile/vs/chromium/)[Opera vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/vs/opera/)[Avast Secure Browser vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/avast-secure-browser-profile/vs/chromium/)[Vivaldi Browser vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/vs/vivaldi-browser/)[Tor Browser vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/vs/tor-browser/)[Shift vs Chromium](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/221329-chromium/vs/435887-Shift/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/browser/chromium-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
