Even were you to download the most stable compiled version, often not the case if you don’t know what you’re doing, you will still have a browser that doesn’t fully represent an official release of Chrome. It is the name of the project that manages the open source C++ code for the vanilla form of Chrome. In fact, Chromium isn’t technically a browser at all. Not only is this completely false, it is also comparing apples to oranges. Most of the time their explanation is that it’s somehow more advanced or developer oriented than Chrome. Many novice developers I’ve met seem to be under the impression that Chromium is the “correct” browser to develop and test with. If you’re an experienced developer, you’ll probably want to stop reading, as this will unlikely be useful to you.įor the rest of us, I’ll first cover the purpose for each channel and explain something that you might not realize by starting with Chromium. So, with that in mind, and that most of us know that there’s more than one release channel for Chrome, I would like to posit that you may have chosen your release channel without adequate forethought. It has, in my opinion, become increasingly less valid to stick to your favorite browser, say Firefox, and disregard the dominance of Chrome. Internet development, as we know, is a whole other ballgame. More often than not, you will end up living in that browser barring the need for some outlier issue that requires the use of your preferred debugger. Intranet development for a regulated company might dictate Internet Explorer on Windows, or Safari for an all Mac user base. As a web developer, your test browser choice is probably dependent on the project.
