Chromium

Can anyone tell me if the Chromum package in the Ubuntu Software Center repository is safe and sable for use? Do people prefer it over Google Chrome, since it does not require Wine to run?

It is safe and fine to use but i would download the official version for Linux from Google i find it works better most of the time

I have run both Chrome and Chromium on Ubuntu, and I was much more satisfied with Chromium. I had an issue with Chrome which didn't play any audio from flash (hulu, etc.). Since installing Chromium, everything has run perfectly.

Do people prefer it over Google Chrome, since it does not require Wine to run?

Actually, Chrome itself now has a Linux version which can be installed from the repos:

For Chrome:

sudo apt-get install google-chrome

For Chromium:

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

Try both out and see which works best for you

i had issues with the older version of (Chrome) but the newest beta from Google seems to be just fine
and have both installed i still prefer Chrome over Chromium

Im using Chromium now, had some trounble with Chrome.
Not sure if it had to do with my Wubi install of Ubuntu or somethging else.
But after my fresh install i installed Chromium, it works with everything so far =)

I have started looking at using chromium as a replacement for firefox (as I think it is more secure and has matured).

If you are running lucid it is in the repos. If you are not, use the stable ppa and not the daily build (assuming you want stability).

I cannot find chrome in the repos, only a deb from google.
Apt-get google-chrome doesnt find a package.
Chromium is in the software center though.

For Chrome:

Code:
sudo apt-get install google-chrome
For Chromium:

Code:
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

Applications > Ubuntu Software Center > Search: Chrome > click install on the browser(s) that you want.

That takes you to Chrome, not Chromium.
