Questions tagged [chromium]

However there are differences including several modules related to Adobe Flash, Widevine DRM, and licensed media codecs supported by Chrome that are not part of Chromium. Use this tag for questions about Chromium specifically and use the google-chrome tag for questions concerning Chrome specifically.

Soon after releasing their Chrome web-browser, Google formed a group to release an open-source version to make it easier and faster for bugs to be fixed and features to be added. (Chromium does not include the auto-update functionality of Chrome.)
