Ask HN: Should I go with Chromium or Google Chrome?

4 pointsph0rque2 comments

Much to my chagrin, I just found out that I have both Chromium and Google Chrome installed on my Ubuntu laptop; furthermore, they're different. Does anyone have any advice about which one is better to stick with, and why? Which one will be better kept up-to-date, which has (and will have) better features, etc?

I'm currently using Chromium on Ubuntu. I find the dev builds to be buggy. It is not very stable and it has some really annoying display bugs.

I haven't tried Chrome yet, but if you are looking for stability I would trust it over Chromium.

Chromium will give you the latest builds. You will also need to use it if you want to use plugins on Linux or Mac.
