Open in Chromium Browser Extension

Open in Chromium extension opens the current tab or all tabs in Google's Chromium browser. This is useful to transfer links across browsers without manual copy and paste.

Notes:
1. In case a Chromium window is opened, the link is opened in a new browser tab
2. If Chromium is not opened, a new Chromium window gets opened.
3. To open links in the Chromium browser, you will need to install a native client.
4. The instruction to install the native client is displayed once a link opening is requested.
5. At this point, the native client supports the following operating systems:
a. Windows
b. Mac
c. Linux
6. The native client does NOT support Chromium OS.
7. On Windows and Linux, you need to set the Chromium path on the options page for the extension to find the Chromium browser
8. Some preferences of this extension can be configured by the domain administrator (managed storage)
9. This extension can send links on left-click, a combination of the left-click and a keyboard meta key, and top-level navigation

Ricardo Carreño (ID: 0000007c36f27b6d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/13/2023 Awesome extension just like 'Open in Firefox'. It would be perfect if it didn't have to install *manually* some files. Also, it was looking for Chromium in C:\Program Files (x86)\ so I quckly modify in options te path. Again, great app. It saves me a lot of copy/paste urls and clicks in a volumen you couldn't imagine!

Ahna R (ID: 000000aab796dbc5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/18/2020 Le principe me paraissait très pratique mais une fois l'extension installée, on me demandait d'installer un "client natif open-source NodeJS" mais plus de réponse ensuite une fois la procédure suivie où je devais ouvrir le fichier "install.bat". Je me demande alors si Chromium browser est compatible avec un Chromebook car il me semble avoir vu sur internet qu'il est compatible avec les ordinateurs windows et Mac (peut-être ios aussi).
