Which Google browser introduced the open-source Chromium project in 2008?

Google Chrome was the Google browser associated with the Chromium open-source project in 2008.

Google released Chrome for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008. Its code was made available through Chromium, an open-source browser project that provided the foundation for Chrome and later influenced other browsers.

Chrome used the WebKit rendering engine at launch and later adopted the Blink engine, which was developed from WebKit. Its early design emphasized separate processes for tabs and browser components to improve stability and security.

Chromium and Chrome are not identical names. Chromium is the open-source project and browser codebase, while Google Chrome is Google’s branded browser distribution, including additional Google services and licensing elements.
