Review of Chromium

Chromium is browser software. My primary browser is Firefox which I have used for years, and is already open source software, so in order to satisfy the “browser” specification of the assignment I chose to download the Chromium browser.
 When I attempted to download Chromium from the site, the page displayed the following disclaimer;
 “this is a raw build of Chromium for Mac, right off the trunk. It may be tremendously buggy.” 
This was an accurate disclaimer because it crashed several times, which confirms that Chromium is unstable.
 After Chromium was installed, I had to sign in. In order to sign in, it required my Google account password. Chromium didn’t appear to accept it, so I had to reset my password. That caused my Google synchronization with other accounts such as my Google calendar and iPhone Google access to have to be reset too, among other accounts, which was  inconvenient. However, Chromium finally accepted my password, since all my bookmarks transferred into Chromium from Firefox.
 Overall, Chromium appears to work faster than Firefox.
 Of note, I have Firefox set up to open a set of web pages when I launch it. I was able to set up the pages the same in Chromium (this is important to me).
 The interface is slightly different from Firefox, but works basically the same, except that it is “buggy” and unstable, just like the disclaimer said. Chromium kept crashing repeatedly.

This blog is part of an assignment from American Military University for my "Web 2.0 Fundamentals" class where I am to download three different open source software’s and review/compare them with commonly used  comparable software.
