Do you want to remove Chromium from your browser, but you do not know where to begin? You are not alone. There are a lot of people who have this problem. Chromium is a type of open source web browser.

This is being projected as something that is legitimate, but this can be used by some people as adware. It may have some programs that you would not want to have on your computer. It may also have a lot of ads that may bring viruses to your computer.

In order to uninstall this, do the following:

* You need to go to Control Panel and look for the program.

* Once you find it, click uninstall.

* There will be a dialog box that will require you to confirm that you are uninstalling the program.

* Continue with the process, and you will successfully uninstall it from your system.

The first step to take if you want to get rid of the chromium browser on your Windows PC is by visiting the task manager. If you are not sure of how to locate this, all you need to do is to right-click on the taskbar.

After this, you will need to highlight all processes with chrome.exe or chromium.exe, after which you right-click on them and click on the End-task option. After this step, go to the control panel. If you are not sure of how to locate this, simply type "control panel" inside the search bar. Once you are able to open the control panel, click on the “Uninstall a Program."

The next step to take after clicking on the “Uninstall a Program" is to highlight the chromium-browser and click on uninstall. Once you are able to uninstall it, the chromium-browser will be uninstalled completely from the PC. You might as well try to delete all chromium settings or user data on your PC.

Chromium is a software project that is hosted by Google. It uses the same code that the Chrome browser has, but it has more features than Chrome. If a person no longer wants this browser, there are many steps that can be taken to remove the browser from the computer.

The first step is to click on the start menu and then select All Programs. From there, the user will want to locate the Chromium icon and then choose to Uninstall it. A dialogue box will appear in which a person should confirm that they wish to Uninstall it from their computer.

Go to the control panel double click on chromium and uninstall it. Then Open Drive C > Users > “Your Personal Folder” > AppData > Local. Locate the Chromium folder there and delete it completely by pressing shift + delete.
