Of course. My suggestion was completely automatic, because I don't use Supermium and wanted to test this tool the easy way. I'm busy porting Chromium for Windows 7 to Windows 2000 SP4 without KernelEx

In CFF Explorer, replace the kernel32.dll import with pwrp_k32.dll and copy this file from your Supermium installation. The screenshot was taken on XP RTM

I ask everyone to read the release notes carefully. I only help solve certain problems, and I created wrappers for DWrite to get it working on XP. All this hard work is thanks to e3k. Personally, I think his browser is better than Supermium in every way. Especially after restoring WebGL acceleration support for D3D9 on XP and porting DWriteCore from the Win Apps SDK for XP (though users have reported that the browser doesn't work with it under certain conditions - I need to look into that). I also think it’s simply much faster - both on relatively good hardware and on low-end hardware, and it works with processors that only support SSE2. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK/issues/65#issuecomment-4357771559 I won't repeat myself, because e3k's post on this issue covers everything there is to know about the differences between Supermium and Chromium for Windows 7. The x64 version still has a problem with excessive virtual memory usage on XP x64, but fixing it would be pointless, it would take weeks or months of work to restore the behavior of the disabled GigaCage to the code, which was removed between versions 91 and 92, and in the meantime, Chromium has undergone two major changes to its memory allocator. Supermium, on the other hand, is clearly very low on the author’s list of priorities, after all, he also develops an extended kernel available behind a paywall, so it’s clear which option is more profitable.

It looks like we've managed to identify the cause of the virtual memory leak on XP x64. It turns out to be GigaCage, which has been enabled by default since version 92.0.4486.0.

Simply install VC 2015–2019, or if you don’t want to install it, just copy the relevant files. DWrite is also included.

It all depends on the motherboard and the USB 3.0 controller in the chipset. If you have a specific hardware in mind, please provide the model number of the device if it is a laptop/OEM PC, or the model number of the motherboard. Then I'll try to find something.

Chromium 146.0.7679.0 still have MV2 support --enable-features=AllowLegacyMV2Extensions --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2DeprecationWarning,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled,ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported in shortcut.

I added links to download the latest versions of WidevineCDM and added a guide for Windows 7 in the first post.

The more I visit the browser section of this forum, the more I wonder if everyone is okay. Some people seem to have a persecution complex, in the form of a panic-stricken fear of surveillance. I recommend going outside and touching the grass. All threads in browsers section are full of off-topic posts related to this. I'm writing about this because it irritates me terribly. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find anything actually related to browsers in these threads.

I have updated my old guide about compiling Chromium. Now it only applies to compiling clear Chromium. A new one will be created for building with e3kskoy7wqk patches.

On XP only GDI rendering is working. I will try to use DirectWrite. 139 on vanilla Vista SP2 works, but if you run without existing profile, it has some function missing in shell32.dll. Edit: DirectWrite from Supermium working! I can't get working hardware acceleration, even with disabled blacklist and D3D9... All api-ms-win-crt, p_advp32.dll, pwp_shd.dll, p_ole.dll, pwrp_k32.dll, ucrtbase.dll - that's the files needed for working dwrite.dll from Supermium.

https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK He made few reworked versions. It also can support XP and Vista without extended kernels

I'll check it out (for free ) That's me too. I can send you a modified version of 140 ESR or the latest one.

Yes, also on 8.0
