Package chromium is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, is only available from another source

The Chromium web browser package is named chromium-browser, not chromium in Kali Linux. To install it open the terminal and type:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install chromium-browser I needed Chromium as well on Kali 2020 and i did this to get it:
Add debian repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb stable main contrib non-freeThe run update:
sudo apt updateThen install Chromium:
sudo apt install chromium chromium-l10nIt worked fine for me, maybe that’s not the best solution but at least it works.
