Chromium is an open source web browser that strives for a secure, fast and stable web browsing experience for its users. It is the open source project behind Google Chrome.

Installation

From the Debian repo

As of 2021-10-14 19:19:07, Debian's Chromium package in buster, bullseye and sid repository remains vulnerable to numerous CVEs as outlined in the Chromium Security Tracker. Furthermore, chromium is no longer packages for bookworm. Consider using an alternative browser like Firefox, Brave or ungoogled-chromium.

How to install Chromium:

apt install chromium chromium-l10n

(chromium-l10n is only used for localization and is optional)

From the Linux Mint Debian Edition repo

This package is only available for the amd64 architecture.

The download link can be found here: http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.php?release=any&section=any&keyword=chromium

How to install chromium from the Linux Mint "Debbie" package:

wget http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstream/c/chromium/chromium_97.0.4692.71~linuxmint1+debbie_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./chromium_97.0.4692.71~linuxmint1+debbie_amd64.deb

From the Flathub Flatpak repo

The Flatpak is named org.chromium.Chromium. You can install it via the flatpak command-line or via GNOME Software or other FlatPak GUIs.

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)


Video acceleration

Since Chromium 88, video acceleration is available but not enabled. This results in the CPU being used instead of the video card, attempting to enable this option offloads the CPU for the video card:

Drivers and libraries according to your hardware

For Intel Gen 7 and earlier hardware:

# apt install i965-va-driver-shaders libva-drm2 libva-x11-2

For Intel Gen 8+ hardware:

# apt install intel-media-va-driver-non-free libva-drm2 libva-x11-2

intel-media-va-driver-non-free from non-free repo
