Official Chromium builds

Every platform

Google builds each of these separately, so their revision numbers differ. Pick the one that matches the machine you are going to run it on.

How this differs from Chrome

Chrome is built from this same source, then has the pieces added that make it a product: automatic updates, the licensed H.264 and AAC codecs, Widevine for streaming DRM, crash reporting and Google account integration. Strip those out and you have what is on this page. The full comparison goes through each one.

Keeping it up to date

Nothing here updates itself, and a build a month old is a build with a month of published security fixes missing. Either check back and replace it by hand, or use a build that has an updater. How to update Chromium covers both.

Other kinds of Chromium build

Most people are better served by one of the maintained builds. They are compiled by volunteers from the same source, with the missing pieces added back.

• You want Chrome, without Google's branding

  Sign-in and sync work, video plays everywhere, and it tracks the Chrome stable release closely.

Common questions

Is there an official Chromium download?

There is no official Chromium installer for end users, and Google does not distribute one. What does exist is a per-commit build produced by Google's own build bots and published to their public storage bucket. That is what this page links to. It is genuinely from Google, but it is a developer artefact rather than a product: nothing about it has been release-tested.

Why does video not play in the official Chromium build?

H.264 and AAC are patent-encumbered, so Google does not compile them into the open-source build. Widevine, which streaming services require, is proprietary and is also absent. The practical result is that YouTube mostly works and Netflix does not. Third-party maintainers add these pieces back, which is the main reason their builds exist.

Does the official Chromium build update itself?

No. There is no updater of any kind, so the copy you download stays at the version you downloaded and keeps its security holes. You have to come back and replace it yourself. Because a new revision appears every few minutes, an official snapshot goes stale faster than any other build listed on this site.

What is a Chromium revision number?

It is the position of a commit in the Chromium main branch, counting from the first commit. Revision 1688518 is the 1,688,518th commit. Google names each snapshot folder after it, so a revision number identifies exactly one build, whereas a version number like 154.0.8031.0 covers hundreds of them.
