How to Install Chromium Web Browser on Ubuntu 18.04

Chromium is a fast, stable and secure browser built for the modern web. It is the base of many browsers including the most widely used web browser in the world Google Chrome.

The main difference between Chromium and Google Chrome is that Chromium is open-source. Unlike Chrome, Chromium doesn’t include proprietary web codecs and doesn’t send crash reports and usage tracking to Google.

If you prefer open-source, then Chromium is an excellent choice.
