Well, it could be anything; Chromium isn't only just an open source browser, it's the base for Google Chrome. If you take a look, Chrome is version 5.x while Chromium is 6.x :)

Basically, Chromium is more bleeding edge and will eventually become Google Chrome as time goes on. Think of the whole Fedora/RedHat thing.

Chromium is open source and is always in beta, so it will break from time to time, but you get all the new features as soon as they come out.

Chrome on the other hand has Google's seal of approval for stability and is more so the 'official' browser. However, it also includes closed- source changes that only Google knows about.
