## What it is
Chromium is the open-source web browser project behind Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and many other browsers. This repository is the official GitHub mirror of the Chromium source code.

## Use cases
- build a custom web browser from Chromium source
- contribute patches to the Chromium browser
- study how a production browser engine works
- embed Chromium rendering in another application
- debug a Chromium-specific rendering or security issue

## When to choose
- you want to fork or build a Chromium-based browser
- you are contributing to the Chromium project itself
- you need to inspect or patch browser engine internals

## When to avoid
- you just want a browser to use day-to-day - download a release build instead
- you want to embed a browser in your app with minimal effort - use CEF or Electron
- you expect to git clone and build quickly - the checkout and build process is large and complex
