Chromium is the Google project on which Chrome and other browsers are based. It is usually two versions in front of Chrome. This is because it is a set of browser tests, which is in constant development and can bring bugs, crashes and be incompatible with some sites.
Like all open source software, the program can be downloaded and modified freely. This allows malicious people to create browser variations with viruses, especially adware that displays advertisements.
