Difference between Chromedriver and Chromium-Chromedriver

chromedriver and chromium-chromedriver are both packages for the Chrome Driver, which is a separate executable that is used to control the Google Chrome browser programmatically.

The main difference between the two packages

chromedriver

• chromedriver is a standalone package that contains only the Chrome Driver executable
• chromedriver is usually recommended if you already have Google Chrome installed on your system and you only need the Chrome Driver to control it.

chromium-chromedriver

• while chromium-chromedriver is part of the Chromium project and includes both the Chrome Driver and the Chromium browser.
• chromium-chromedriver is useful if you need both the Chrome Driver and a browser for testing purposes and don't have either installed on your system.

So, in short, chromedriver is just the Chrome Driver, while chromium-chromedriver includes both the Chrome Driver and the Chromium browser.
