Chromium is a fast, open source browser with a minimalist interface. The program is similar to Google Chrome and uses the same code base, but takes up less space and resources usage, has fewer tie-ins with Google, and generally better privacy. Unlike Google Chrome, it is missing proprietary audio and video codecs and there's no automatic update system.
Chromium is cross-platform with clients available for Mac, Linux, and ChromiumOS. X-Chromium is a wrapper program. Earlier versions are available for Win XP to 8.1, and 32-bit Win 10.
Note: X-Chromium's update cycle has in the past been many months apart. Using out-of-date web browsers is not recommended because they may be missing important vulnerability patches.

@DzejPy: I just tested the link and it seems to work okay now. Hopefully it was fixed soon after your post.
v80.0.3987.122 [rev17]
On author's site does not link to download the 32bit version.
Just edit download link for the 64bit version - instead of 64 write 32:

Clearing cache / cookies makes no difference. Tried in several browsers, same result. No worries, I`m sure it will fix itself soon.
v56.0.2902.0
The current download link (below title) links to a patch (24.0.1284.2.7z) and not the paf.exe
The direct dl link I found is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/crportable/files/ChromiumPortable_56.0.2902.0.paf.exe/download
v56.0.2902.0
I have no problem downloading the app. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies.
v56.0.2902.0
@billion
Exactly, that link is a 500 oops something went wrong page too.
v56.0.2902.0
Sourceforge is useless at the moment, nothing is downloading. It`s either coming back to the product page or showing a 500. :(
v56.0.2902.0
@hamasaki: Thanks, fixed.
v50.0.2645.4
@tomcat - Even v93 is out of date by three versions... I would recommend using chrlauncher instead.
