Chromium

Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code. The browsers share the majority of code and features, though there are some minor differences. The Chromium Project takes its name from the element chromium, the metal from which chrome plating is made. Google’s intention, as expressed in the developer documentation, was that Chromium would be the name of the open source project and that the final product name would be Chrome.
