Install Chromium (dev) Browser on Fedora 16/15/14/13 Using YUM - Comment Page: 1
First thing is good to make clear the difference between Chromium and Google Chrome. Chromium is the open-source project behind Google Chrome. Biggest difference between Chromium and Google Chrome is that the Chromium is development version and Google Chrome is tested version of Chromium. A more detailed clarification differences between Chromium and Google Chrome can be found here.

Thanks for your help guys on how to install Chromium on Fedora. Worked no problem on my Fedora 14. I’ve used Chromium on Ubuntu now I can use it on Fedora now.
I am getting the following error during the installation.
Error: Package: chromium-libs-12.0.718.0-1.fc14.i686 (fedora-chromium)
Requires: libjpeg.so.62(LIBJPEG_6.2)
Any idea on what to do ?
@fsb
Try playing with yum search and yum install in terminal, or do the same in the package manager (KPackageKit in KDE or gnome-packagekit in GNOME).
i have problem with chromium, after install and run the chromium it’s crash, when i start it from console i get that error:
[0430/111856:ERROR:nss_util.cc(55)] Failed to create ~/.pki/nssdb directory.

idk why some people complain it worked wonders for me on my Fedora 15 install, also its important to enable RPM Fusion repos n.n
Nice but doesn’t do the trick
