Some may consider this second downside to actually be an upside – after all, if you’re using Chromium instead of Chrome, you probably want to avoid Google services. The downsides are first that you need to install software from a third-party repository, which is less trustworthy than the official Debian or Ubuntu repositories, and second that all of the Google services have been stripped out. It’s also less prone to crashing or otherwise interfering with your system as it’s built for Ubuntu. The ungoogled_chromium version is simpler to set up.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The two possibilities for installing Chromium via deb package on Ubuntu are (a) to use a Ubuntu-specific version from ungoogled_chromium, or (b) to use a version from Debian. After the third time this happened, I had had enough and decided to ditch the snap version. More importantly, it would periodically lose all of my settings: bookmarks, plugins, search engine choices, privacy settings, etc. Under snap, Chromium would take about 10 seconds to start. I’m not going to argue with their technical reasoning, but my experience as a user has been less than positive. In Ubuntu 19.10, the developers decided to switch Chromium away from the apt packaging system in favour of snapd. The post is based on the official Ungoogled Chromium instructions for Ubuntu and a blog post by Andrei Shevchuk Posted by Ramesh Jha JPosted in Browsers, Ubuntu Tags: chromium, google chrome, ubuntu 10.In this post, I explain two ways to install Chromium on recent versions of Ubuntu using the apt package manager instead of snap.

After few minutes the chromium will be installed on your ubuntu computer.You can access it from Applications->Internet->Chromium Web Browser. Next,click on install and wait for the installation to complete(If you are using Synaptic Package Manager then first mark the box and click on apply to install chromium). Then search for “chromium” and in the results click on the row which says Chromium web browser. Open Ubuntu Software Center OR Synaptic Package Manager. Chromium is an Open Source,cross-platform and Free Web Browser based on Google Chrome.Chromium is developed along with Chromium OS.Chromium project aims to build a faster,safer and more stable browser for all users.In Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) ,you can install chromium in many ways either by using Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic Package Manager or from command line or manually after downloading debian package or source code but Synaptic Package Manager is recommended for common users.
