About Chromium Drift
Chromium Drift tracks the Chromium version shipped by major desktop Chromium-based browsers. It highlights version lag relative to Chrome Stable to help users identify potential security risks from unpatched vulnerabilities and compatibility issues from missing latest Web APIs. Version data is collected either via live public API fetches on each page load or daily CI extraction from browser binaries, with color-coded status to indicate alignment with Chrome Stable.

Chromium Drift FAQ
Why might my Chromium browser show a different version than the dashboard?
Browsers roll out updates gradually, and the dashboard shows the official stable version which may not be available to all users for a day or two.
How often is the version data updated?
Live-fetched browsers update on every page load, while CI-detected browsers update once daily via GitHub Actions.
Does being a major version behind Chrome Stable mean a browser is insecure?
Not necessarily, as some browsers track Chromium's Extended Stable channel and backport security fixes from newer releases.
Is something wrong or out of date?
