    Jody, friend, there's a huge improvement for us, Vista fanatics, a simply marvellous browser! Released recently. 

    Two versions. Choose marked "Vista".

    136 (non-portable)

    https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/136.0.7063.0

    134 Portable, Ungoofed.

    https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_134.0.6998.165

    Made by a student from China, so I can't give any personal guarantees, you understand.

     

     

    It doesn't support to XP...

    I'm no longer surprised why you had terrible stuck-ups with the modern Supermium, whereas other members didn't! GPU with DDR3 is 2003 tech, I had a GPU with DDR3 in 200 or so, over 20 years ago.

    Your computer OEM simply used very cheap VRAM. At that time, GPU already had GDDR5.

    Look at my laptop::D

    That's the wrong file.  That's also not a "portable" version of 360Chrome.

    The loader that we are referring to only exists in the "portable" versions of 360Chrome.

    Oh, thanks, I decided to give it up, skip this conversation

    360Loader.exe was included in the distributions of the 360Chrome browser here.
    If you have any of the associated zip files, it should be in there.
    If you haven't got it, I can give you a copy.
    :yes:

    This one?

    I have used it,and it wasn't working...

    @hidao

    Assuming you actually have a copy of 360Loader.exe, can you try using that to launch Supermium with the INI file you had before?
    I would be interested to know if it does in fact work.
    Remember, you will have to change the name of the INI file to match the EXE file's name, e.g. 360Loader.exe will need an INI file called 360Loader.ini.
    :)

    Actually,I have never known what is "360Loader.exe"...:D

    Not always.  I actually prefer X-Launcher over-and-above 360Chrome's launcher.

    360Chrome's launcher has an embedded "integrity check" that can cause problems on some systems (but not on all systems).

    360Chrome's launcher has embedded telemetry that has been removed during the patching/modifying of my 360Chrome releases - but its original existence should still regard it as as "suspect" over launchers that do not contain such embeds.

    X-Launcher is more "universal".

    Thanks for your experience

    Hmmm.
    Can I just check something?
    You're not trying to use 360Chrome.exe as the launcher, I hope!
    That's the executable for the 360Chrome browser.
    The exe file for the launcher is 360Loader.exe.
    :dubbio:

    If it were me, I would *delete* anything-and-everything Supermium (files, folders, registry) and start completely over, all brand new!
    ESPECIALLY if I had a *corrupt* profile writing MULTIPLE BrowserMetric files - there should *NOT* be MULTIPLE FILES.
    No matter how "complex" my profile is, I would DELETE IT ENTIRELY and start completely over, all brand new!

     

    Instructions are for XP x86.

    1) obtain Supermium - this tutorial will be using v132 R1 (most recent Supermium)
    download the nonsetup.zip
    https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/download/v132-r1/supermium_132_32_nonsetup.zip

    2) obtain winPenPack X-Launcher
    original Source = https://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.15
    but it will take you to here = https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-Launcher/1.5.4/X-Launcher_1.5.4.zip/download

    3) extract both to temporary folders - we will only copy from them and not use them as-is

    4) for the extracted Supermium -
         a) DELETE setup.exe - personally, I have *never* clicked this!  *NEVER*
         b) DELETE NotoEmoji.ttf - *zero* use to me, if you need this font, install manually like any other font, i *never* trust anything called "setup.exe"
         c) inside the Supermium subfolder -
              i) DELETE all three of the Supermium Classic/Ungoogled .cmd files
              ii) DELETE uninstall.exe
              iii) DELETE the two widevine files - Widevine only "partially" works in Supermium and things like Netflix do not work, a partially-functioning Widevine is *USELESS* to me
              iv) optional - DELETE all but the languages you actually use from Supermium's Locales folder

    5) for the extracted X-Launcher -
         a) DELETE the _source, _tutorials, Backups, Documents, Downloads, and Lib folders - the ReadMe folder is not needed either but for the sake of a public tutorial, I leave it for the "license"
         b) RENAME X-Launcher.exe to X-Supermium.exe (or just Supermium.exe) - this and the next file need to have the same exact name
         c) RENAME X-Launcher.ini to X-Supermium.ini (or just Supermium.ini) - this and file just previous need to have the same exact name
         d) DELETE the Software_1 and Software_2 folders inside the Bin folder
         e) DELETE the Software_1 and Software_2 folders inside the User folder
         f) I replace the X-Launcher .exe file icon with a Chromium icon, a Supermium icon could also be used, but this tutorial will not go through the icon-swap instructions

    6) create the folder where your Portable Supermium will reside - I used C:\Miscellaneous\SupermiumPortable
         a) copy or move all of the X-Launcher [from Step 5] contents (two empty folders [Bin and User] and two files [the .exe and the .ini] and place them in C:\Miscellaneous\SupermiumPortable
         b) copy or move all of the Supermium [from Step 4] contents (one and only one folder named Supermium) and place that folder in C:\Miscellaneous\SupermiumPortable\Bin (Supermium is a SUBFOLDER inside the Bin folder)

    7) EDIT the X-Supermium.ini file  --  sample file included in next post
         Read through the existing .ini before editing, the power of this file is only limited to the imagination of the user
             For example, I have some profiles with registry files where my OS has *DIFFERENT* "default browsers" solely depending on which brower I keep open and the OS has *NO DEFAULT AT ALL* if no browser is open
         You can opt to use a "portable registry" or you can opt to let Supermium use your OS registry, flexibility is endless, all up to the needs of the user

    8) Launch using X-Supermium.exe, create desktop or start menu shortcuts that point to X-Supermium.exe
             No startup commands needed because all startup commands are moved to X-Supermium.ini's Parameters line
         Shortcuts can have their own icon via OS settings, et cetera

    Oh, I have always thought you used 360Chrome.exe as a launcher:no:

    Oh dear.
    I'm sure that @NotHereToPlayGames will be able to say what's wrong.
    My chrome.exe is in the Program Files\Supermium folder, I don't have the App subfolder.
    That's just the way I set it up.
    :dubbio:

    I think 360Chrome.exe isn't a launcher for supermium(include the others chrome-based browser)

    Yes thanks, I wasn't aware of that switch when I did it manually.
    If using the switch works on XP, as you say, I'm just a bit surprised that the normal option in the settings wouldn't work, or at least could have been made to work.

    :dubbio:

    Yeah, the the "default browser" option is unuseful,but the cmdline is abled, I'm confused too

    No I'm not.
    I spent a very long time manually editing the registry to make Supermium my default browser on XP, as the usual mechanism doesn't work on XP.
    I don't want the registry to be possibly messed up again.
    :no:

    use "Chrome.exe --make default browser" could make supermium to the default browser, it's OK on XP on my laptop, and it works well on win7 on my vmware too

    The loader will be two files.

    If we are using the loader from 360Chrome, those two files will be 360Loader.exe and 360Loader.ini.  They can be renamed to SupermiumLoader.exe and SupermiumLoader.ini.  The names must MATCH with the exception of .exe and .ini.

    It told me the main program file is broken:

    It really does work, I can assure you!
    Just put the loader exe file in the same folder as chrome.exe, along with its associated INI file where the settings are stored.
    This is mine for reference. 

    [Setup]
AppName=Chrome

[FileToRun]
PathToExe=.\$AppName$.exe
Parameters=--user-data-dir="D:\Program Files\Supermium\User Data" --no-proxy-server /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 --use-angle=d3d9 --ignore-gpu-blocklist

[Environment]
Profile=.\User Data

    :yes:

    Is your loader exe 360Chrome.exe?

    what's the "associated INI" name?

    The 360Chrome loader works fine with Supermium, I use it on XP.
    I use Chrome+ on Windows 10.
    :yes:

    Are you sure? I can't believe that... 

    How did you use 36oChrome loader, please share the experience to us

    Right you are!  Apologies, I should have did a trial-run first.  :blushing:

    Still should be quite easy.  I suspect that 360Chrome's "loader" can be configured to run Supermium.  That "loader" has the ability to delete files when the browser that it launches is closed.

    I have not tried, but it "should" work.  Would take several folder/config differences and is not just a "copy Supermium and overwrite 360Chrome" process.

    There are several other "loader" obtions as well.  Or, even just a simple .bat file to launch Supermium (I myself prefer actual "loaders" over .bat files).  But .bat files are "extremely easy" and anybody with a keyboard should be able to figure them out.

    You can try, welcome to share us the result...

    If you are serious about having Supermium delete them after it quits, this CAN EASILY BE DONE by adding Chrome++ to Supermium then adding one line to Chrome++'s .ini file to silently and invisibly run a .bat file every time you quit Supermium.

    Chrome++ is a good project, unfortunately it doesn't support to XP...

    I'll have to try and look again.  I do not pin tabs ever, but I could try that.

    Just one thing, in case I'm worsening my own situation.  I never actually "install" the browser.  I open the setup archive in 7-Zip, and extract the "Supermium" folder into \Program Files\Supermium.  Then I run the executable with a shortcut.  Is that not recommended?

    Same to you...

    Yes I did.  Why would I lie about something like that?  Anyway, here is a link to a Github bug, with one of them showing a Windows 7 machine exhibiting the same symptoms.

    https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/1263

    Scroll down the page ... See the image?  That's what I had.  Anyway, I went back to R7.

    Thanks @D.Draker.  That was very kind of you.  Have a good day.

    Sorry, I didn't see that topic before, In China, we have an old saying: Listening is false, seeing is true

    How are you folks getting the new Supermium to look more like the older R7 release, as far as tabs are concerned?  My tabs lokk really "tall" and spaced apart.  Any help is appreciated.  Just looking for perhaps, a flag to change.

    Also, there are spaces now between the tabs.

    Try to use --classic-omnibox --classic-omnibox-border --compact-ui
