I downloaded chromium and forgot I had not yet dragged it to my applications folder and I was running it for a few hours out of my downloads folder.

Google Chrome ships in a DMG, doesn’t it? This means that if it is running out if your downloads folder, it’s not subject to the things that would mess it up because you dragged it there.

I think Chromium does get shipped as a normal executable, it's only Chrome which gets released as DMG.
