How do i change chromiums name in the title bars and pages

I'm building chromium from the source and I want to make it have my versions name instead of Chromium.

I've tried editing the branding in \src\chrome\app\theme\chromium but that didn't change much.

I expect it to change the words Chromium on every page like settings, new tab, in the hamburger menu etc.

Solution

  • You will have to modify these files to change Chrome or Chromium references:

    components/components_chromium_strings.grd

chrome/app/chromium_strings.grd

chrome/app/settings_strings.grdp

    Just search for Chromium and Chrome in those files and replace them with your name. You will have to compile your Chromium again after making those changes.
