athlonxpuser

I also use a fully patched XP with POSReady updates until 2019 and for me it works out of the box after extracting. I didn't have to copy any dll files to make it work or something like that...

that's still the installer. you have to extract it further until you have the "chrome-bin" directory with an executable called "chrome.exe" located in it.

you should read what win32 posted on github

if you dont necessarily need to have it installed on your computer, you can simply extract the normal installer from github with 7zip and it runs just fine on XP. at least it did for me.

wow, impressive!

2 pictures to explain your issue is considered spamming now. ok then

Now that I tested it again, yes I noticed it struggles with some 1080p and 720p videos, especially those in 60 fps. It's weird because some videos seem to work fine while others stutter and freeze all the time. Maybe it depends on which codec is used? Browser extensions and downloads do also work by the way. I noticed the UI is glitching out sometimes, as it shows the blue XP style title bar for a brief moment and then goes back to Win 10 style. edit: I installed the h264ify extension now to ensure that the h264 codec is used for every video on youtube. It definitely works so much better, even in 1080p. Here it is running on an i5 3437U with integrated graphics.

I can confirm this Chromium 115 starts on XP without any One Core API installed, it could load all websites that I tried and it plays youtube videos just fine. Apart from that I haven't done much testing with it though.

I would also love to see an SSE version. Not only would that make it run on a Pentium III but also on older AMD cpus like an Athlon XP. I have 2 GB of RAM in both my Athlon XP and P3 systems so I guess that shouldn't be much of an issue.

actually there are a lot more win 7 users 3 years after EOL than there were XP users back then. according to statcounter.com, win 7 has a market share of 9.55% as of jan 2023 while XP was only at 5.26% in april 2017. I guess as long as Firefox still gets updates for win 7, it is simply not necessary to make an effort in getting newer builds of chromium to run on win 7.

where do you see a pentium in that video? i hope you know that's a comparison between two graphics cards while using the 5800X3D. or did you really confuse the Radeon RX 6600 with the Pentium G6600 which indeed was released in Q2 2020?

it doesn't really matter when the motherboard or the chipset was initially released when it has been updated constantly... point is on that platform you can use a modern cpu that came out as recently as 8 months ago, namely the 5800X3D, and even the Zen 3 architecture as a whole is just around 2 years old (released in Nov 2020). so saying you can't use hardware released during the past 6 years or there are no official win 7 drivers for them is just bollocks.

lmao even amd b450 has official win 7 drivers and that chipset supports all cpus up to 5800X3D / 5950X... didn't know 2020 was already 6 years ago

Eventually there will be better web browsing options available if we have enough patience. I mean with One Core API, Chrome 102 does already kind of work on XP, even though there is definitely a lot of work to do (extensions and downloads don't work, no sound, etc). Just a few years back no one would have imagined that we will ever have Firefox 52 running on Windows 98...

I just realized Chrome 49 can't render the current Youtube design properly anymore while it still works fine in Firefox 52, albeit quite slowly. I think when I tested that final official Chrome version for XP the last time, maybe 10 months ago, it could still display Youtube without issues.
