    Chrome was not always based on chromeium. Chrome was based on Apple WebKit until 2013 when they forked WebKit and made the Blink engine.

      Chromium was still the base before the WebKit/Blink fork. Chrome and Chromium were released simultaneously in 2008.

      Chromium has always existed. Originally it was wrapping web kit and later they forked web kit into blink and diverged from Web kit. Chromium is a level above the engine.
