Installation
From the Debian repo
As of 2021-10-14 19:19:07, Debian's Chromium package in buster, bullseye and bookworm repository remains vulnerable to numerous CVEs as outlined in the Chromium Security Tracker. 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This package may be outdated compared to Chromium upstream.
This package is only available for the amd64 architecture.
The download link can be found here: http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.php?release=any§ion=any&keyword=chromium
How to install chromium from the Linux Mint "Debbie" package:
wget http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstream/c/chromium/chromium_96.0.4664.110~linuxmint1+debbie_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./chromium_96.0.4664.110~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:
