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.

Will Chrome OS Overtake And Replace Windows OS?

Unlikely, the problem with Chromium OS is the simplicity of the OS. Computers are now divided into consumer and creator. Chromium OS and Chromebooks are neither good at consuming contents nor good at creating content.

As noble as the idea is, Chromium OS will be yet another operating system like Ubuntu Linux. The other drawback is the need for internet access to be able to use Chrome OS, yes, some Apps do run offline but not all. Chromebooks are like laptop that runs on one software and that is Chrome Browser, perhaps it is too advance in today’s age, I personally believe this is the future but not yet. Until the day everyone on earth have access to stable, cheap and 24/7 unlimited internet access, Chrome OS will never see the light of the day.
