Open in Chromium Browser - Chrome Extension

'Open in Chromium Browser' is a significant Chrome extension intended to make transitions between browsers much smoother. It allows the user to open their current tab or all tabs in Google's Chromium browser, bypassing the need to manually copy and paste links. Once Chromium is opened, the extension opens the link in a new tab. If not, it initiates the start of a new Chromium window. The extension requires the installation of a native client to open links in Chromium, which supports Windows, Mac and Linux but excludes Chromium OS. Options for link sharing include a simple left-click, a combination of a left-click and keyboard meta key or top-level navigation.

Awesome extension just like 'Open in Firefox'. It would be perfect if it didn't have to install *manually* some files. Also, it was looking for Chromium in C:\Program Files (x86)\ so I quckly modify in options te path. Again, great app. It saves me a lot of copy/paste urls and clicks in a volumen you couldn't imagine!
