Hi, apparently Chromium does not support MP3 sound so when i am gaming, there is no sound.
Also, any links for a 64-bit version of Chromium? chromium.woolyss.com does not work i.e., load

Right, MP3 is not yet supported in Chromium, but it is planned to be supported in Chrome 62 and later - crbug.com/746579.
https://storage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html has all of the versions, you can pick one by yourself.

Also, Chromium is not for normal use - it does not update automatically and it is missing some features (like MP3, but also Flash, H.264, AAC and more). You better use Chrome.

The main reason that I use Chromium is that it is a .zip download and isn't an installer.

So, my version is 63-something, so would that eventually have MP3 support?

What specifically do you get from a .zip that you don't get from an installer? (Asking so I can get an idea what alternatives I can suggest.)

Once a new FFMPEG that enables MP3 support by default lands (no definite timeline if it has not landed yet), Chromium will have it so you will have to update/get a new Chromium.

It's just easier to update

Which platform are you using? On Windows, Chrome updates automatically and silently, so I do not see how Chromium is easier to update.
