The Chrom1um Browser is a suspicious Web client created on the famous open-source project Chromium. The Chrom1um Browser contains most of the codes and features of Google Chrome. The Chrom1um Browser allows all enthusiasts to make a browser of their choice with minimum efforts. Unfortunately, many people may use this engine to create Web clients that try to take advantage of PC users. The Chrom1um Browser is not an exception to this rule.

You should simply unmark the checkboxes of everything besides the main program. After it reaches your PC, the Chrom1um Browser may become your default browser automatically. Due to numerous visual similarities with Google Chrome, you may not understand that you are no longer working with a legit and certified browser immediately. The Chrom1um Browser may come with a preset homepage that you may not be able to modify. Whenever you go online, you may find some shady search provider. The experts don't encourage you to use such questionable engines because they may transfer you to unsafe sites.
