Teacher E-Learning ### "Easy, Clean Browser" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 20, 2024 If you are looking for a simple way to run a search, Chromium is the browser for you. I enjoy how clean and simple it is. When I want a simplified, organized, to the point browser that won't bog me down with extensions, features, and forty-six other buttons on the search bar, I open Chromium. Pros Chromium's best feature is its simplicity. Everything that is essential in a browser is available and easily used in Chromium. I really enjoy how accessible Chromium is on every device, even a SMART Board! Nothing flashy or fancy is done through Chromium, but that's just the point. This is a no-frills, easy and clean browser that can be picked up by all users on any device and it works very well. Cons It seems a little contrary to say that the simplicity of Chromium is also its weakness, but it would be nice to have some more customization options or installable extensions, etc. A very minor complaint, but a few additional features would be nice. Switched from [Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/) I just wanted a simpler browser that wouldn't overwhelm anyone.
