## Reviews

### "Browsering" — 3.0/5

> **Korol** | *09 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Chromium is part of Google Chrome and it also makes browsering  easy and fantastic.
> 
> **Cons**: Chromium version is not easy to install.

-----

### "Chromium Resources" — 5.0/5

> **David** | *08 July 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Probably not appropriate forum, however looking for skilled Chromium Devs to work on internal browser project, can anyone offer advise?
> 
> **Cons**: From a development perspective it is very difficult to find experienced local devs.

-----

### "Easy, Clean Browser" — 4.0/5

> **Josh** | *20 May 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "The best google browser" — 5.0/5

> **Tiago** | *10 July 2023* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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

-----

### "The Primary Browser" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *28 November 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
