Installation
Warning. As of 2020-11-16 13:58:33, Debian's Chromium package remains vulnerable to numerous CVEs as outlined in the Chromium Security Tracker. Consider using an alternative browser like Firefox.
How to install Chromium:
apt install chromium chromium-l10n
(chromium-l10n is only used for localization and is optional)
Extensions
Many popular, useful, and open-source browser extensions for Chromium are built as Debian packages that can be loaded locally and updated via Apt, reducing the need to use the Chrome Web Store and to trust the binary extension files that it serves. You can find these by searching for packages named webext-*.
Viewing PDF
Chromium can view PDFs without any additional extensions (internally using PDFium software library)
