Exploradores web Chromium y Google Chrome

Fedora Workstation, en su salida de la caja de configuración, solo incluye software de fuente abierta y libre. Mozilla Firefox es el explorador incluido en Fedora Workstation por defecto. Sin embargo, es fácil instalar o bien Google Chrome o Chromium, si lo prefiere.

Chromium

Chromium es el proyecto original de Google Chrome. Chromium está incluido en los Repositorios de Fedora. El paquete Chromium de Fedora solo contiene software libre y de código abierto, por lo que no incluye varias funciones de Google Chrome que dependen de software propietario.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a popular web browser developed by Google. Chrome is built on top of the open-source browser project, Chromium. Chrome includes additional features such as support for proprietary media files (such as H.264 or AAC) and playback of rights-protected media (Netflix, etc.) Chrome also includes support for other Google services such as browser sync and location services, which are not supported by Chromium.

Google Chrome is available in Fedora Workstation via a curated third-party repository. Once this repository is enabled, Chrome can be installed via Software or the command line.
