No, you should definitely update your Chromium. (You may want to
switch to Chrome to get the automatic updates)

In general, for web browsers it is very important to use the latest
version for security.

And do not be fooled by the fact that GMail still works (until the end of
2017), this is very insecure.
See
https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/02/gmail-no-longer-supporting-chrome-v53.html.
Chrome and Chromium are interchangeable in this regard.

authenticating browser version upgrade notices ??

I have the same message on my gmail ('This version of Chrome...') but have
never used Chromium. I also infrequently get logged out of my account - any
insight as to why that's the case?

Thanks,

Eugene

Just keep your Chrome up to date. We can't provide any support if you are
using a version of Chrome that's older than the current stable (at the time
of writing, version 58).

Click the three dots icon on the top-right -> Help -> About Google Chrome.
That will tell you the version and if it's too old, provide an update
button.

To answer this old question from February:
I suppose you can't really be sure if a link telling you to update your
browser is legitimate or if it's malware. *Don't* click links in web pages
to update your browser. If Gmail is telling you Chrome is out of date, just
follow the steps I mention above to update Chrome (i.e., update it through
the browser menus itself, not through a web page).

I get the chrome wrong version error but there is something else going on.
I uninstall, reboot and reinstall. However, whatever icon I use to launch
chrome, I actually load chromium. I find no directories for chromium and
it is not an option to unistall. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

The Chromium binaries that the Chromium project makes available online (for
testing only) do not update, install or launch automatically.
You are probably infected with some malware that use some customized
Chromium binaries as one of its malicious mechanisms. :(
See this thread for at least removing that rogue Chromium -

I forgot to mention that I am using the latest Chromium out there and it's
on Ubuntu 14.04. I could understand Gmail not working for the users that
use Windows XP and Windows Vista but I am using Ubuntu. If you still say I
am not safe, would it be safer to use basic HTML version of Gmail?

FYI, this email thread (chromium-dev) is for browser developers, not a
support site. You shouldn't ask user-support questions here. But anyway...

It looks like Ubuntu 14.04's Chromium package didn't get updated past 53
(Ubuntu 16.04 is on 55, still not the latest but better).

I'm not sure what their policy is on updates (and I'm aware that we
officially dropped support for 32-bit Linux at some point), but
unfortunately, this doesn't make it secure. Using Chromium 53 is just as
bad as using an outdated Chrome 53, and you need to update to remain safe.
You can install the latest Google Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04, or otherwise you
have to find a Chromium package that is up to date (perhaps update your
Ubuntu).

Note that Chromium means two things: the open source project (which we
develop on chromium-dev) and the name of unofficial versions of Chrome that
distros like Ubuntu distribute. We are not responsible for the latter;
keeping it up to date is the responsibility of Ubuntu, not us. Google only
keeps Google Chrome up to date.

Can't you install Chrome from
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html ? Assuming
you have a 64-bit system.
