    Hey guys and gals, I'm trying out the newest Chromium build and it sure is fast, but what I need to know is, how do I update it to the newest version, it doesn't auto update ? Thanks.

    Thanks wile. Eldon, I know Chromium doesn't auto update, but do you know how I can update it when a new version is available ?

    I found this auto-updater for Chromium.

    Also, have a look at this.

    I don't use Chromium therefor I can't test these.

    I am using chromium now on linux mint OS and I can say that it's quite fast and very happy with the browser on Linux.

    I don't like it to well due to the fact it has very little security options.Sure it might be the fastest web browser out there.But i would rather take security over speed.

    I've used on a few Linux distros because it's the default browser on some of them but updates for it go to those distros. I really wasn't planning on keeping it, I was just using it mostly to compare it with CentBrowser which I really like.
