About the warning. The build is unsigned — a
certificate costs a few hundred euro a year. It means “unsigned”,
not “malicious”. You only have my word for that, so check the
hash below or build from source.

Linux
# apt resolves dependencies. dpkg -i does not.
$ sudo apt install ./
$ plutonium
# or no install at all
$ chmod +x
$ ./
Running as root? Chromium refuses to start as root with
its sandbox on, and the sandbox is worth keeping. Kali has shipped a
non-root
kali user since 2020 — use it rather than
--no-sandbox.
Blank window in a VM? VirtualBox 3D support is
incomplete. Start with
plutonium --disable-gpu.
