I want to have chromium on my windows machine, but I find only instructions how to make it from sources on official site.
Is there any official pre-built binaries?

You can find snapshots of all the nightly builds of Chromium here:

Chromium Builds

Each OS has a folder and the latest version number is available under the Latest folder or just sort by date descending.

Is there something like latest stable chromium build? – Andrew Oct 26 '10 at 18:08

@Andrew. No, unless you use Chrome. Chromium doesn't have a stable release, as they are continually in development. Basically Chromium has a new version every day, but you can stick with a version for about a month before you need to upgrade. I used both and apart from the icons and the sharing of info with Google, there is no functional difference between the two. – Diago Oct 26 '10 at 18:11
there are Chromium "source releases". What about those? The revisions are different from the nightlies, but they're just as frequent. Nothing stable about those too? – Daniel Beck Oct 26 '10 at 19:26
@Daniel. My understanding from the Chromium website and blog is there will never be a stable release, and Chrome opted for a stable cycle in development. It is up to each user to decide which version is "stable" to them. I stopped using it solely because of the lack of PDF viewing that Chrome does have. – Diago Oct 26 '10 at 19:33
OK thanks. I was just wondering what these "releases" were for. But they're source anyway, so probably of limited use for regular folk. – Daniel Beck Oct 26 '10 at 19:35

As stated by Diago, you can download binary releases via the chromium-browser-snapshots repository. Combine this with a quick check of which version_number you need at omahaproxy, and you get a nice direct link to your desired "stable release" without accessing the slow snapshot lister website.

http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?path=Win/ + version_number + /

Don't forget the slash at the end. For example, the current "dev release", at the point of this writing is 113143, and can be found at: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?path=Win/113143/

I guess this was what you were looking for.

You may also try www.getchromium.org. I am not sure who hosts the site, but the download links point to a recent continuous build (maybe not the most-recent, but within the past twenty-four hours).
