Download Chromium

You can test Chrome builds or Chromium builds. Chrome builds have the most infrastructure for analyzing crashes and reporting bugs. They also auto-update as new releases occur, which makes them a good choice for most uses. Chrome Canary is available for Windows and Mac and autoupdates daily. Other channels (dev and beta) are available.

Chromium builds do not auto-update, and do not have symbols. This makes them most useful for checking whether a claimed fix actually works. Use the following instructions to find builds:

Easy Point and Click for latest build:

Open up https://download-chromium.appspot.com

Easy Script to download and run latest Linux build:

Not-as-easy steps:

Head to https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/
Choose your platform: Mac, Win, Linux, ChromiumOS
Pick the Chromium build number you'd like to use

The latest one is mentioned in the LAST_CHANGE file

Download the zip file containing Chromium
There is a binary executable within to run

Please file bugs as appropriate.

Downloading old builds of Chrome / Chromium

Let's say you want a build of Chrome 44 for debugging purposes. Google does not offer old builds as they do not have up-to-date security fixes.

However, you can get a build of Chromium 44.x which should mostly match the stable release.

Look in https://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Stable%20updates for the last time '44.' was mentioned.
Loop up that version history ('44.0.2403.157') in the Position Lookup
In this case it returns a base position of '330231'. This is the commit of where the 44 release was branched, back in May 2015.*
Open the continuous builds archive
Click through on your platform (Linux/Mac/Win)
Paste '330231' into the filter field at the top and wait for all the results to XHR in.
Eventually I get a perfect hit: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac/330231/

Sometimes you may have to decrement the commit number until you find one.

Download and run!

* As this build was made at 44 branch point, it does not have any commits merged in while in beta.

Typically that's OK, but if you need a true build of '44.0.2403.x' then you'll need to build Chromium from the 2403 branch. Some PortableApps/PortableChromium sites offer binaries like this, due to security concerns, the Chrome team does not recommend running them.

Chrome OS is a lightweight operating system developed by Google. Its open-source version is Chromium OS, therefore if you have any of them and want to install Linux open-source software or packages then here is the tutorial.

Chrome OS Linux Distribution. Update: Chrome OS Linux downloads have moved to: getchrome.eu.

Install Chrome on Linux Use the same software that installs programs on your computer to install Chrome. You'll be asked to enter the administrator account password. Download the installation file. Google has recently added support for Linux applications in a container to Gentoo Linux-based Chrome OS, effectively giving users the ability to install open source apps if they so choose. Linux apps aren’t yet standard on all Chromebooks, and Chrome computers, so you’ll need to enable the features manually.

Indeed ChromeOS comes with Playstore, thus the Chromebook users already have two sources of installing various apps, one is the Chrome store and another Android Play store. However, to expand the reach of ChromeOS to real PC applications, it comes with an option to enable Linux. Although while writing this tutorial the Linux was still in the beta stage on Chrome OS, yet, there were no glitches while our usage. The Linux it uses is Debian based, therefore, hundreds of packages and software are available to install and use. To run Debian, the ChromeOS uses a Virtual Machine environment but the best thing is even it is in virtualization mode, still whatever the software we install using the Command Terminal for Linux will directly show in the OS Application Menu, just like any other native Chrome OS application. Moreover, this is possible because ChromeOS itself based on Gentoo Linux, thus we have multiple benefits on a single operating system.

Well, those don’t have a Chromebook still want to test out the Chrome OS on their PC or Laptop, then here is the tutorial for that: Install Chrome OS on PC or Laptop with PlayStore.

As Debian Linux is going to install in a virtual environment, thus, we can set the amount of space you want to assign to your Linux machine for installing apps and packages. By default, it will be 5GB that can be modified later. Along with that, we can also set a username for Linux here as well.

Installing Linux

Now, the ChromeOS will start downloading and setting up the virtual machine process. Wait for a few minutes, depending upon your internet speed and system configuration.
