## Reviews

### "Browsering" — 3.0/5

> **Korol** | *9 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** | *8 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.

-----

### "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.

-----

### "Chrome but inverted" — 5.0/5

> **Marie** | *11 March 2023* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about Chromium is that it doesn't take up as much RAM as Chrome does.
> 
> **Cons**: What I dislike about the Chromium software is the customer support and it can be slow at times but that could just be me.
