Is 'Chromium Web Browser' different to 'Google Chrome'?

Hello Folks!:popcorn:

Under "Ubuntu Software Center">>Browser section lists "Chromium Browser".

I already have "Google Chrome" running as my default web browser running within 10.04.

Is Chromium different to Google's Chrome? Can the 2 co-exists independently?:confused:

It is different though not by that much. Yes they can both co-exist independently.

Hi Elslunko!

So you mean to say that I can install an extension within one & it will not automatically start showing up in the other!?

Both can have different set of extensions & themes with unique customized settings!? Right?

Doh! Not sure about this. I haven't had both installed at the same time in a while. Only one way to find out!
