How to install Chromium from this tap

brew cask install domt4/chromium/mac-chromium

And then updates will be picked up in the normal way:

brew update
brew upgrade

Chrome Release Channel Tracking

Generally updates will be no further apart than 14 days here. The aim is to update infrequently enough to provide some stability whilst not updating so infrequently that this tap slips behind important/interesting security/feature releases.

Duplication of Homebrew Cask's Chromium

When I created this repository Homebrew Cask distributed the portable, Flash-enabled version of Chromium and I didn’t want to use/support Flash and its myriad of frequent security issues so I created this tap instead.

In November 2014 Homebrew Cask switched to using the direct downloads from the Appspot blog, but due to the nature of these downloads Homebrew Cask also disabled checksum verification of that cask, which isn't a risk I was happy taking.

In early 2019 Homebrew Cask moved to checksummed and versioned Chromium releases, nigh identically to the way this tap was setup to support. The Cask in this tap has been updated with caveats on how to migrate over if people wish to, but this tap will remain semi-supported for the foreseeable.

Misc

When I started this repository on October 8th 2014 Chromium was on Commit Number 298608.
