Getting Started with the Chromium Browser in IGEL OS
This article describes how you can create a Chromium browser session and configure it on IGEL OS.
Changes as of Chromium Browser app version 142.0.7444.175:
The dependency on the apps "Chromium Multimedia Codec" and "libva for Chromium" was removed, as they are no longer required with IGEL OS Base System 12.7.2 or later.
Note: These components must be unassigned if they were previously added manually. If they were installed via Chromium Browser app, they will automatically be deleted during the Chromium Browser update.
