Can I get stable Chromium builds for Windows such as those for Ubuntu?

It does not exist => probably true.

But it is not because of what Google wants. It is because nobody did it yet, while the source code is freely available.

It hasn't been done because the type of paranoia the OP shows is very rare, so no one feels the need to cater to an unnecessary segment

I swear all these people supposedly so scared of companies and auto updaters, yet I bet they post every little bit of their lives on FB and Twitter.

To the OP that I'm sure is not reading this anymore, get over it, use Chrome and let it update, there's nothing you do that Google will want to steal that you haven't already given them

It is no use to be so agressive. Some people are looking a Windows Chromium stable version, the same they have in Linux, it's their right.

I answered them is didn't exist apart from some forks.

That's right Chrome exists but it's not exactly what they are looking for.

I know this is old. But like a couple others (out of the 27 posts before me) have pointed out, very few addressed the real question. If you google for chromium stable, you will find downloads for Linux and OS X. You do not find them for Windows. (You can bing them too if you like, same result).

I too would like to run the latest stable version of Chromium, but for Windows, everything pushes you towards Chrome. Now maybe the majority is right in this thread, and the only difference is that Chromium doesn't have google's auto updater. But maybe, in the real Chrome google adds a bit more tracking - I think its foolish to think otherwise. Sure, most people are already putting out all kinds of identifiable information when they do other things online, but that isn't the point. The point is the OP was asking if anyone knew a source for stable versions of Chromium, not Chrome.

Softpedia does come up for a Chromium dl, but as of this posting its version 20.x, latest stable as of now is 18.x.

First link is snapshots, I don't think those would be the stable builds.

Second link might have stable builds, but I tried matching any portion of the stable build number found here with that list and was unable to find it. So not sure if they have stable builds there or not.

Third and fourth links are for the latest canary, which is not what I want. I don't want the developer build, I don't want a canary build, I just want a stable build.

So it isn't quite as simple as it seems.
