It would seem that the answer to that burning question on the surface. But as in almost every case, and here has its own nuances and ' pitfalls '. Let's try to understand all the ramifications of the most stable in my opinion, a promising and ambitious browser in 2012!.
Let's start with the fact that. Google Chrome. - The browser, developed by Google based on the free browser. Chromium. and uses to display Web pages engine. WebKit. (. Wikipedia. ). It follows an entirely logical conclusion that Chrome is the same as Chromium, based on the same engine and has almost the same development team (at least I think so ). But why do developers make very ' similar ' projects, because you can concentrate on one!.
It turns out that the assembly Chromium updated every day, unlike his younger brother, but you do not have any auto-update! . FTP. To testers and other people interested in the development of the browser, before anyone been able to optimize their ideas to the new code and later released the final release of his ideas for a stable Chrome. Here we have a chain and is obtained. To summarize the arguments:.
All very tasty and new, appears first in the assemblies, Chromium, which is updated every day, while Chrome behind him for a couple of versions of. The truth about any auto-update Chromium can be no question, therefore, not recommended for ordinary users to use this channel!.
If you look in terms of speed and performance, then the one hand Chromium is faster because it uses more advanced technology and ideas, but on the other hand, it happens sometimes that some assembly is obtained ... Hence the crashes, freezes, glitches. Of course such behavior is not necessarily rare, and (at least to me this was not), but nevertheless it is not necessary to forget about it, if you suddenly decide to test the latest features and flags!.
There are three channel:. Stable. (stable ). Beta. (Beta ). Dev. (for developers). This fork was made only to users more quickly get a more stable version. By the way, there is another channel which even has its own auto-update server! . We are now talking about. Chrome Canary. However it can not be set as the default browser, but personally I always keep with you this unstable channel, so be aware of all significant changes.
P. S. I hope the project has helped users. Chromium. choose a Web browser for your needs. After all, if you want a stable and relevant for today browser, you'd better set. Chrome Stabe. And if you are extreme, loves to test the latest features of Google, then you should pay attention to the. Chrome Canary. or assembly. Chromium. The remaining channels are intermediate. But in any case the final decision to accept you, my readers!.
