At present there are several browsers that allow us to access websites and each of them presents various functionalities based on their development, one of which is frequently named is Chromium which is an open source version of Google Chrome, the only one difference is that Chromium does not have all the exclusive codecs and other elements of Google Chrome..
There are giant differences between Chromium and Google Chrome so many users choose to remove it from the system and that is why TechnoWikis will explain how to remove Chromium entirely in Windows 10.
What is Chromium?
We can talk about Chromium as an open source browser project that has brought not very suitable consequences despite its initial good intention. Although at first it was a legitimate idea in browsers, it has ended up being used negatively by malicious browsers that seek to infect computers.
The bad thing about these behaviors is that they store user information when they perform searches with this stored virus. It has access to search history, invades intrusive ads and handles the opening of windows and pages without control.
For these reasons it is normal that we seek to uninstall Chromium on our Windows 10 computer.
