Description Google Chrome OS is an upcoming Linux-based, open source operating system designed by Google to work exclusively with web applications. First announced on July 7, 2009, Chrome OS will be publicly available as a stable release by the northern hemisphere 'late fall' of 2010 according to Google.
Chrome OS will not be available as a download to run and install. Instead, the operating system will only ship on specific hardware from Google's manufacturing partners. The user interface takes a minimalist approach, resembling that of the Chrome web browser. Because the only application on the device will be a browser incorporating a media player, Google Chrome OS is aimed at users who spend most of their computer time on the Internet. Featured software in Chrome OS:.
GNOME 2.30 desktop environment. Google Chrome 9.0.570 web browser Updated!. Google Picasa 2.7 photo manager. OpenOffice.org 3.2 office suite.
GIMP 2.6 image editor. Flash Player 10.1 plugin. Wine Windows emulator 1.2. Pidgin 2.6 instant messenger. and much more!
System requirements of Chrome OS:. Processor: Intel Pentium, Xeon or newer; AMD Duron, Athlon, Sempron, Opteron or newer. RAM: min.
256 MB. Hard disk: min. 1 GB. Graphics card: supports most modern graphics cards How to install: Download the iso file and burn it into CD-R. Boot the computer from it and when Chrome OS is loaded, click Live Installer on the desktop. Follow the instructions. User password: user Root password: root.

Obviously, you know this site is not the Chromium official website. As a regular user (not an expert), I created it in 2013 because I did not find a simple way to download good releases. I try to keep it as and as possible!;) This is absolutely a non-profit site. Please, read the (on the right-hand side). In short:. The is development oriented. Users are invited to download Google Chrome.
The gives to users only DEV builds (also known as 'Snapshot', 'Nightly' or 'Raw' builds). This site gives to users a choice of builds: DEV (also on its ), LKCR, stable and portable builds. All downloads are from reliable sources only:. → official DEV builds (Check the Chromium buildbot ^^). and → other free and open-source builds Explanation. Left 4 dead pc download.
Chromium exists since. It is the free and open-source project behind the famous browser. Intrinsically, maintained by many (developers, engineers, graphic designers, security researchers.) from Google, Opera, Yandex, Samsung, Intel, Facebook, Hewlett-Packard. And external contributors. Chromium is not designed by Google! However, as a primary investor, Google gives a consistent guidance and provides all free tools and services related to the web browser.
Officially, Chromium does not have a stable release. The official developers (aka The Chromium Authors) do not release it to end users. So it is continually in development. Google Chrome is the stable release. But is not open-source.
In fact, Chromium has a stable version. ^^ Example: The current stable on is 64. In this version, there are 140 patches which correct many issues (bugs, feature requests, enhancements.). Because Chromium is open-source , anybody can compile it.
You must be a developer to do this. Just get the from the official Git repository and compile it! All stable versions of Chromium on,. Are always made by third-party developers. The Chromium stable version is compiled by:.
Google developers → and. Opera developers →. Yandex developers →. Nik developer → Chromium, on. FreeSMUG and Marmaduke developers → Chromium, on.
Some developers → Chromium, on each and distribution. Some developers →. Some developers → other projects like,.
Basically, Chromium has few versions every day, but you can stick with a version for about a month before you need to upgrade. Dev A DEV build (also known as 'Snapshot', 'Nightly' or 'Raw' build) is compile of the Chromium code whenever there are submitted code changes.
A snapshot build will be created as long as the code compiles successfully. Its binary files are stored in the of. This build is really just development tool for checking whether issues are fixed in the latest Chromium code. It can be buggy and unstable. Lkcr A LKCR build does at least provide some level of guarantee that the particular revision actually should build, which is good for third-party builds for not wasting time on potentially uncompilable builds. As a result, usually trails the dev trunk by a few revisions (commits). If building straight off dev, it can be a guess whether a build will compile or not, so a third-party builder could be wasting processor cycles that could otherwise go to a known compilable build (LKCR).
Lkgr Each snapshot build is then run through the. If that snapshot build successfully passes the automated tests, it is considered as a good build: LKGR (Last Known Good Revision). And can become potentially a stable build. Note LKGR builds were stored in the until Friday, 18 Mar 2016 (1 year ago). The Chromium team has removed few LKGR builders (, and ) but other ones still work (, ).
Finally, there is no LKGR binary shared by the Chromium team. But any developer can re-compile it! ^^ stable A stable build is a LKCR build tested and improved by the Chromium team. In resume:. dev: Untested and may be unstable version, downloadable on the and my. LKCR: Similar to 'dev' version but for third-party build. stable: The most stable version.
Except for stable versions, the developers use the official Snapshots repository to re-compile their builds. So I give you the opportunity to download only nice Chromium releases;) If you want, check the simplest multilingual page: This entire website ( and included) is auto-updated each hour by the server itself. Thanks for your attention. Have a good time!;) Jerry. Chromium vs Google Chrome. Chromium browser has:.
only open-source licenses (, MIT license, LGPL, MS-PL and MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-licensed code) plus unlicensed files. It is a project. A yellow disclaimer message appear as a doorhanger: Google API keys are missing. Some functionality of Chromium will be disabled. Sometimes you need to use Google API keys to talk to some Google services (Sync, Speech, Hotword, Translate, Now, Hangout.). And then you Google a bit and follow all the instructions.
But page does a not-so-great of explaining how to do this, so I will. Without your own Google API keys On: Launch Command Prompt and enter the following commands: setx GOOGLEAPIKEY 'no' setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID 'no' setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET 'no' Now launch Chromium. With your own Google API keys (Based on an wrote by Chris Van Wiemeersch).
Clicking on that yellow disclaimer message takes you to the confusing. If you aren't already, subscribe to the. (You can just subscribe to the list and choose to not receive any mail.
FYI: the Chromium project restricts the APIs to those subscribed to that group - that is, Chromium devs.). Make sure you are logged in with the Google account associated with the email address that you used to subscribe to chromium-dev. Log in to the, and or press the 'Create Project' button. From the project's, select the tab in the sidebar. You'll see a modal with an API key. Copy and paste that somewhere.
Now create an. After you complete all the steps and the 'content screen', you'll be presented with a modal with your Google Client ID and Client Secret.
You'll need to set three environment variables: On: Launch Command Prompt and enter the following commands: setx GOOGLEAPIKEY yourkey setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID yourclientid setx GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET yourclientsecret On. In the shell, type: launchctl setenv GOOGLEAPIKEY yourkey launchctl setenv GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID yourclientid launchctl setenv GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET yourclientsecret On: Plop these in your /.profile file: export GOOGLEAPIKEY='yourkey' export GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTID='yourclientid' export GOOGLEDEFAULTCLIENTSECRET='yourclientsecret' Now launch Chromium. The simplest way: On Windows and macOS, Chomium find PepperFlash itself (= without ).
Install Chromium ( must be natively enabled in Chromium. Check Nik builds on or Marmaduke builds on ). Install PepperFlash (PPAPI) from Adobe.
Check. Disable 'Ask first' in the page. Test if animation works on the page. Now, the full manual installation tutorial. (If Google Chrome is already installed, go directly to the step 3: ) This plugin is a non-free (proprietary) software developed by Adobe, and distributed bundled with Google Chrome.
So get it from the official sources: Adobe or Google. By default, (AAC, MP3, H.264/MP4) in the. Solutions:. Use Nik builds on or Marmaduke builds on. All codecs are enabled ^^. or compile Chromium from. or install an older version having ffmpegsumo file (Ex:, 333334, 333283, 333258.).
or choose other. On, you can use Chromium with proprietary codecs Before, we used an alternative with the Google Chrome ffmpegsumo file and our Patch HTML5 Media extension.

And most of the features they remove don't even exist in Chromium, in the first place. Control your personal info and yourself ^^ Moreover, InsanityBit explains this very well on his blog: (2012. Archives:, ) Note if a new browser with 'better privacy' than Google Chrome is based on Chromium and is fully open-source, it should be ok for me.

Google is famous. Its private policy and marketing strategy are well known. So you have to ask you some questions.
Do you trust in an unknown team more than Google? Is an outdated Chromium fork?. (2016. Archive: ).

For a better privacy protection, use open-source like Chromium or Firefox. Do not forget: It is open-source does not mean it is secure and respects user privacy (and security ≠ privacy). But, if your browser is fully 'open-source', it means that somebody with the capability can review the. With versioning tools like SVN or Git, it is easy for developers to find malicious code (Ex: ).

Only an open-source code allows such defense. This is better for secure browsing and user privacy.
While I recommend Firefox as the most reliable browser for privacy enthusiasts (cf. Settings), Chromium is probably a reasonable alternative for everyday web browsing. My way (but do as you like ^^):.
Modify your to stop 'natively' domains who serve ads, spyware and malware. Use a VPN with strong encryption for your whole OS or router (It is better than browser VPN/proxy ). Use an up-to-date web browser. Change few. Install few You cannot be anonymous on web even using a VPN or TOR network. But you can protect your privacy against user tracking tools. These tracking and profiling tools are everywhere today.
You can find them both in software and websites. The reason for updating to the latest version is security. As security threats are found, they are fixed. Using an old version expose user to a number of security holes and privacy issues. Browsers are far more subject to hacking than other software. Adjust all settings and advanced settings in:.
Do not log in with a Google account. Do not save passwords in the browser (Prefer a free and open-source password manager like or ). Enable (or private) mode (Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut.
Use a to start Chromium in this mode). Disable all options in the 'Privacy and security' section because most of them use an external Google service.
Example: about phishing and malware protection. Enable 'Block third-party cookies' ( → Cookies). Disable 'Allow sites to run Flash' ( → Flash). Enable 'Ask before accessing' ( → Location). Disable to prevent IP address leaks by editing the 'Preferences' file (Ref. And ). Prevent (Use the -disable-reading-from-canvas ) Modify your to prevent your OS from connecting to domains who serve ads, spyware and malware.

Advertisement You don’t need to buy a Chromebook to enjoy the features of Google’s desktop operating system (OS). In fact, all you need is a working computer and a USB Drive. Google doesn’t officially offer a way to try it out, but developers have figured out ways for you to experiment with the open-source OS.
This method works whether you are running Windows, macOS, or Linux. And no, you won’t be overwriting your existing OS.
We will basically create A bootable USB is the best way to install an operating system. Besides the ISO and a USB drive, you need a tool to set it all up. That's where we come in., loaded with the Chromium OS disk image. But you will need a few things before you start. a working computer with a USB port.
a USB drive of at least 4 GB capacity. a 7-Zip extractor:. for Windows, macOS, or Linux Note: The USB drive will be completely erased in the installation process. If you have any valuable data on the drive, please save it elsewhere. Step 1: Download the Latest Chromium OS image Google doesn’t have an official Chromium OS build that you can download. The best alternative source is Arnold The Bat. Step 4: Download and Install Etcher There are plenty of software tools to install images to external drives, but we reckon Etcher is the best of them.
It’s cross-platform, which means it works the same way on Windows, macOS, or any Linux distro. More importantly, it validates the burning process i.e. Once it’s done creating the image on the USB drive, it will verify that everything is right. Download: (Free) Step 5: Run Etcher and Install the Image By now, you should have a fully formatted USB drive, named “Chrome”, plugged into one port of the computer (as shown in step three).
You will also have an unzipped image file of the latest Chromium OS (as shown in steps one and two). And you have Etcher installed on your computer (as shown in step four). Start Etcher. Click Select Image and browse to where the Chromium OS image file is. Add it in Etcher. Click Select Drive and choose the Chrome USB Drive you have created. Click Flash to begin the process of installing the image and validating the installation.
Once Etcher finishes, this will be a bootable USB drive with Chromium OS. Step 6: Reboot Your Computer and Enter Boot Options “Boot” is the process of choosing the OS. Every computer lets you select which drive it should boot the OS from, whether it’s a hard drive, a USB drive, or even a DVD drive. For a Windows or Linux PC: Different computers have different BIOS settings. Usually, the Boot Options menu has the keyboard shortcut F5, F8, or F12. If you’re unsure, you can Inside the BIOS you can change basic computer settings, like the boot order.
The exact key you need to strike depends on your hardware. We have compiled a list of strategies & keys to enter. For a Mac: As soon the Mac shuts down and restarts, press and hold the Option key. You will be doing this while it’s a black screen, but that’s okay. Keep holding it till you see the boot menu, which lets you choose between a Macintosh hard drive or the USB drive you have plugged in (usually denoted as “EFI”).
Step 7: Boot Into Chrome OS Choose the USB drive in the boot menu, hit enter, and the computer will boot from the drive. You are now experiencing all the glory of Chrome OS, without affecting your main hard drive and OS.
You won’t have any trouble, it’s simple enough that or as a first computer for kids. Don’t worry, this setup is only during the first time you boot up. Whenever you run it in the future, it will go directly to the login screen. Do You Run any OS From a USB? The idea of running an operating system from a USB drive has some merit. After all, you’re basically carrying your PC with you, and are ready to turn any computer into your own.
But is that convenience worth using an OS on a USB stick regularly? Do you Carry Windows in your pocket with Windows To Go. We show you how you can run Windows from a USB drive, like a portable app.? Originally published by Jorge Sierra on 23 November 2009.
