Chromium -Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code. Chromium is the same as Google Chrome, but with a different-colored logo and without Google tracking features installed. The Chromium Project takes its name from the element Chromium, the metal from which Chrome is made.
Google's intention, as expressed in the developer documentation, was that Chromium would be the name of open source project and that the final product name would be Chrome. However other developers have taken the Chromium code and released versions under the Chromium name. 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. The idea is for the application to be minimalist in the same way Windows Explorer or Mac OS X's Finder are minimalist. The developers state that it "should feel lightweight (cognitively and physically) and fast". |
