Chromium provides the vast majority of source code for Google Chrome, including the user interface, the Blink rendering engine, and the V8 JavaScript engine. Chrome has more features than Chromium. The following list of Chrome features are not present in a default Chromium build. However, some can be enabled or manually added to a Chromium build, which is what many Linux distributions do.

  • Auto-update capability
  • Integrated Adobe Flash Player
  • API keys for some Google services
  • The Widevine digital rights management module
  • Licensed codecs for the popular H.264 video and AAC audio formats
  • Tracking mechanisms for usage and crash reports

While Chrome has the same user interface functionality as Chromium, it changes the color scheme to the Google-branded one. Unlike Chromium, Chrome is not open-source, so its binaries are licensed as freeware under the Google Chrome Terms of Service.
