How to install the Chromium browser on Deepin 23

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing the Chromium browser on Deepin 23. Chromium is the open-source project behind Google Chrome, offering similar features and performance without some of the proprietary components.

Why Choose Chromium?

Chromium provides a fast, secure, and stable browsing experience. It's an excellent choice for users who prefer open-source software or want a Chrome-like experience without Google's proprietary additions. Additionally, many privacy-focused browsers are built on Chromium, making it a foundation for secure browsing.

Installation Process

We'll be using Flatpak to install Chromium. Flatpak is a universal package management system that allows for easy installation and updates of applications across different Linux distributions.

Step 1: Install Flatpak

First, we need to ensure Flatpak is installed on your Deepin 23 system. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt install flatpak

Step 2: Add Flathub Repository

Next, we'll add the Flathub repository, which hosts a wide variety of Flatpak applications:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Step 3: Install Chromium

Now we can install Chromium using Flatpak:

sudo flatpak install flathub org.chromium.Chromium

Step 4: Restart Your Computer

After installation, it's recommended to restart your computer to ensure all changes take effect properly.

Step 5: Launch Chromium

Once your system has restarted, you can launch Chromium from your application menu or by using the command line.

Additional Information

Flatpak offers several advantages for application management:

  • Sandboxing: Applications are isolated from the rest of your system for improved security.
