Running the Chromium browser on a Linux system

Chromium is a free and open-source (FOSS) web browser that is very similar to the Google Chrome browser, though with some differences. Google started the Chromium project as a means to provide the source code for the proprietary Google Chrome browser. The Chromium Project is headed by Google developers with input from community developers.

If you wish to use the Chromium browser on a CentOS Linux system, you can install it by running the command yum install chromium from the root account. You can check if it is already installed on a CentOS system with rpm -qi chromium.

$ rpm -qi chromium
