# Chromium
Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, mainly developed and maintained by Google. This codebase provides the vast majority of code for the Google Chrome browser, which is proprietary software and has some additional features. Chromium's logo is identical in shape to that of Google Chrome, but with blue colors instead of being multicolor.
An unofficial but highly informative site on Chromium is [updated on here. ](https://chromium.woolyss.com/#win64-stable-ungoogled-marmaduke)
