Installing the Chromium web Browser on the Raspberry Pi Desktop

Chrome browser is one of the most popular web browsers in the world, but not supported on the Raspberry Pi desktop. There are no builds of the Chrome web browser for any ARM-based desktop except for the Chromebooks, which unfortunately won’t support the Pi’s.

To get around this, we can use the open-source version of Chrome on our Raspberry Pi called Chromium browser. The Chromium web browser is the open-source version of Chrome. For the most part, it features the same functionality as Chrome.

Anyhow, it is missing out on some functionality that is not allowed to be included with the open-source version. These features are the proprietary libraries used for digital rights management. It means you will not be able to view streaming services like NETFLIX or Amazon Prime on your Raspberry Pi using the Chromium web browser.

The steps to installing the Chromium web browser on your Raspberry Pi.

1. Before we can install the Chromium web browser, we need to update the package list. To update the package list, use the command below.

In Terminal 

sudo apt update

2. we’ve to upgrade all of the packages which have already been installed. To run a full upgrade, you can use the following command.

sudo  apt full-upgrade 

3. To install the browser, you need to run the following command

sudo apt install chromium-browser -y

It will install the latest version of the web browser that is provided from the Raspberry Pi OS repository.
