Chromium is an open-source web browser project primarily led by Google, providing the core technology and structure for web browsers.
Key components of Chromium
- Web Rendering Engine (Blink): Parses and displays web pages, handling HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- JavaScript Engine (V8): Executes JavaScript code within web pages.
- Tab and Process Structure: Each tab generally runs independently in its own process, preventing issues in one tab from affecting others, although some browsers may optimize this behavior.
Browsers based on Chromium
Browsers like Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave all use Chromium's Blink engine and V8 JavaScript engine.
