Hi Benni, yes, I'm pretty sure using Chromium code in a closed-source project is fine.
But I have the same feelings as Mohamed about the name though. My guess is "Google Chrome" is probably trademarked and I can practically hear Google saying despite "chrome" being a common word, using "Chrome" with a capital C directly referring to a web browser is a little close to infringement. And I think that logo is a little too similar as well. The color locations are all identical, just changed from circle/sphere to maple leaf. After all, Google did send cease-and-desist letters to all the Google- Chrome-related websites/fansites/plugin-sites that also displayed the Chrome logo. They were told that they could not display the Chrome logo on their non-officially related sites.
