I've also now tried Thorium 122, and that works, albeit not using my Supermium profile.
As far as I can see, it's superficially identical to Supermium as far as the GUI is concerned, just with 'Supermium' replaced with 'Thorium' in the text!
Unless it's got worthwhile changes under the bonnet compared with Superium, I can see no compelling reason to use it instead of Superium.
Now back with Superium 121.
Can anyone report Superium 122 working for them on XP 32 bit?
I use the Supermium 122, some times youtube video can't play, but the other time is OK

I think Supermium is going to be a very logical choice for those using 2000 or XP, but I do wonder how many people will still be stuck on XP this time next year. Once my hardware fails and I have to get something new, I'd likely NOT install XP again because I think it had its day and were just waiting for the same reason (refusal to update/upgrade hardware)....
Same to you , I still use XP because my PC is too old, if my laptop was broken, i have to buy a new one, it must be can't install xp

At the moment yes it is, it's still my default browser.
It is starting to have problems with some sites though, so it's good to now have Supermium to fall back on.
Agree with you...

Found a problem today when scrolling through my Instagram feed using Supermium.
It got to a certain point, and then froze, and the tab crashed, saying it was out of memory!
I tried again, looking at the RAM usage, and as I scrolled, it went up and up until it reached 98%, at which point the browser froze.
So, not too great on XP 32 bit where you can only have just less that 3GB of RAM available!
I would have thought that it would have started paging to the system drive rather than crashing out, but obviously not.
Maybe 360EEis the better choice?

I found someone shared a open source project named Supermium, you can try it
https://github.com/win32ss/supermium
notice: If you don't exit 360EE,the supermium couldn't start

I always have to laugh when people use acronyms that may be everyday knowledge for their inner circle but that others have never heard of.
I seriously thought this "FUD" meant "F'd Up Display" (ie, web page not rendered correctly) and it was acronymized (yes, I made up that word) because the "F Word" is not allowed here at MSFN.
In China, many peole use acronyms on the social media, but other people don't know, so some people hate it,like me...

I had normally some other running apps and bkgnd process e.g. of vmware ~ 45 processes and the rest was chrome.exe of Supermium. E.g. now I have only 6 tabs and there are 12 chrome.exe
>hidao
I don't like to, I also use some older SW linked with HW that don't run on new Windows. If everything would be ideal compatible I could run Win 10/11 and don't messing on MSFN with some alternate browsers and other XP hacks...
I see, if my HW could be faster, I'll use Win7,because lots of software doesn't support XP

Probably not the fastest for older machines but on my i7 it's OK. I run it heavy memory load with multiple tabs and after it exhausted entire free memory it silently crashed, leaving 4 zombie chrome.exe processes. But it's better than getting win32k.sys BSOD
it like XP x64, why don't you us Win7, my laptop is too old, it work faster with xp than win7

I'm now running Supermium 121.0.6167.81 for a few weeks and it seems work well, even some pages that failed in 360EE 86.x and MyPal68 so still can live with XP
It worked too slow on my laptop with XP, so i gave up...

Humming Owl abandoned his a very very long time ago. He even has a post here somewhere stating that he will no longer be updating any of his modified browsers.
He did use public archive sites so despite the project being "abandonware", the downloads are still available.
I have abandoned all EXCEPT the Redux release. Despite being on Win10 nowadays, I still use my own Redux release the vast majority of the time (with Official Ungoogled Chromium v114 the remainder of the time).
I actually PREFER 360Chrome to Ungoogled Chromium v114 even though 360Chrome is SLOWER. I prefer the drag-and-drop auto-maximize, I prefer the ease of customizing the GUI, I prefer the ease of customizing context menus, the list is endless.
And perhaps at the VERY TOP of that list, 360Chrome has a TITLE BAR! I really really hate hate HATE how Chrome abandoned a real TITLE BAR!
It's not quite to the point of triggering a migraine or a seizure of some sort, but I NEED TITLE BARS!
Same as you, I love the tittle bar too...

Aha, so it's some minor patches around old chromium core (chrome.dll)? So there are multiple forks based on different chrome.dll developed simultaneously? Or did author decided to revert to older chrome.dll? Why not keep them for download?
It seems that MiniBrowser_1.0.0.127 uses the newest chrome.dll available on XP - 87.0.4280.66 but it's something different fork.
It's still confusing how many forks there are and which ones are alive and which are abandond...
There have a new project named Chromium 115 for xp,you can try:

I feel the only reason I haven't had this BSOD on any of my browsers (Mypal / 360 Chrome / New Moon 28) is because I don't try to enable hardware acceleration. My aged hardware is so crappy that its better to leave the software to pick up the slack.
Agreed with you ,if the hardware is too old ,we'd better to disable the hardware acceleration

Hi, after a bit more extensive usage of ExtremeExplorer360 under WinXP (after some 20+ tabs opened or longer maps panning and zooming) I got this win32k.sys BSOD. I think it maybe the same problem as with MyPal68 where many users complained about the BSOD that came very easily. For MyPal there's an option: layers.omtp.enabled = false that eliminates the BSOD. Is there similar option for EE360/chromium that would solve this issue?
On winxp,this often happened about the .sys BSOD...

You should note that it is a beta version of what is planned to be a paid-for product. It is not planned to be a "free web browser".
Sorry, i did not notice that, and maybe i don't care it
2 hours ago, djole123 said:I tried it for a bit, it seems a bit sluggish when loading pages for the first time, but it does get better over time. Probably something to do with caching, the browser is in early stages so quirks are probably going to get polished up over time.
Some people have already shared concerns that this is a paid Chinese product, but in my book that's fine. All the majors Chinese vendors have axed XP, it's from a solo developer, and there's probably still a huge amount of XP users and businesses in China that would gladly pay a small fee to continue using their existing solutions.
It's quite a miracle that it even exists, honestly
It's a miracle, i agree with you, but we don't have so many XP as I know, or those XPs don't need to the new brower, even those XPs didn't link in the internet

I do this via Proxomitron.
But for the non-Proxo 360Chrome user, I can follow @Dixel's suggestion and upload a revision within the next day or two. I'd likely only upload a new rev for build 13.5.2036 as it is the only version I still use.
Unknown which versions we still have MSFN Members using.
It's updated to 13.5.0.2044...

Not likely. SSD is faster, there is no doubt about that. But it's also over-rated and exaggerated when you consider that larger RAM computers do all their talking between CPU and RAM.
The speed of the SSD or HDD is only a factor when "loading" the program into RAM.
It's also fairly easy to prove. Unless I missed something.
I can run an OS from a DVD-R, complete with web browser on that DVD-R, wait for the disk to STOP SPINNING, then type a URL in the address bar, the disk does NOT start spinning.
Translation - if the DVD-R was not accessed, then neither is the HDD or SSD.
You know, it's a feel ,not really...

Speaking of older laptops.
I have an old Asus X54C lying around that I decided to bring back to life. i3-2350M at 2.3 GHz, 4 GB DDR3. Win7 Home Premium x64. Circa 2011 or 2013.
Unsure if this was a low-end model, a mid-level model, or a top-of-the-line model "back in the day".
Reinstalled Win7.
Turning out to be a complete waste of time! ALL web browsers I have tried on this score 30 or below on Speedometer. In the TEENS for several roytam builds. TEENS! I've never seen anything score that badly!
But it's not just the "score", this thing has got to be the SLOWEST computer I've ever ran!
Type a URL in the address bar of ANY web browser and it sits there for at least four seconds before doing anything, another three to nine seconds before the page starts to load.
Network or wi-fi both show and test just as fast as all of my XP and Win10 machines - but this Win7 is TERRIBLE.
EXTREME network lag.
If you add a SSD, maybe it worked faster...

F52 is slightly faster than S52
F52 with multiprocesses is significantly faster than F52 with multiprocesses
I am manually transfering my bookmarks one by one from chrome v11 over to v13.5
I can confirm what @NotHereToPlayGames stated back in the day, the v11 is somewhat more responsive
many sites don't load correctly anymore even the google main page is displayed differently
I will miss them both....
Why didn't you used the option of ImportExportBookmarks?
