jaffar Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 As you know Google had stopped supporting non-SSE2 CPUs like Pentium III and Athlon XP. Can anyone here compile a chrome/chromium version that works on these CPUs? Please help me because I hate Firefox! Thanks in advance
HarryTri Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 You can try using IE8, it isn't so horrible as they say. As for security, I think the post-SP3 updates (I suppose you have SP3), a good antivirus and - ideally - a good router with firewall will suffice.

ironman14 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 What about Opera? It is the browser I use daily on my PC. The latest version (Opera 22) and all opera 15+ versions use the Google Chrome engine. Also, opera 12.xx (not as often updated, uses the presto engine) also works.Hope this suggestion helps!
sdfox7 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 The newest versions of Chrome require SSE2 which Pentium III does not have. You can download the last SSE version I archived, Google Chrome 26: http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp3/EOL/GoogleChrome_26.0.1410.5.exe Make sure you manually update the PepperFlash plug-in to the current version so you at least have some increased level of security: http://sdfox7.com/xp/sp3/pepperflash/pepflashplayer.dll You can follow my specific instructions here from August: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/532060/this-computer-will-soon-stop-receiving-google-chrome-updates/#entry3444390
erpdude8 Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Actually the very last version of Google Chrome to work on Intel Pentium 3s / AMD Athlon XP-K7 Semprons is version 34.0.1847.137.I'm using this version of Chrome 34 on an old XP SP3 computer (Intel Celeron 1.1Ghz with 512Mb of RAM)Chrome 35 and above require Intel Pentium 4 with SSE2 & AMD K8 (X2) CPUs or better.

sdfox7 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Actually the very last version of Google Chrome to work on Intel Pentium 3s / AMD Athlon XP-K7 Semprons is version 34.0.1847.137.I'm using this version of Chrome 34 on an old XP SP3 computer (Intel Celeron 1.1Ghz with 512Mb of RAM)Chrome 35 and above require Intel Pentium 4 with SSE2 & AMD K8 (X2) CPUs or better. An update to an old post, but relevant for people with SSE (non-SSE2) processors: The link in the above post no longer works. The closest you will get is to download an archived version of Chromium 34.0.1847.0. I have not come across build 34.0.1847.137 anywhere. You can access it here: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html?prefix=Win/251854/ Download the mini_installer.exe
dencorso Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I have not come across build 34.0.1847.137 anywhere. Did you try here?
sdfox7 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I have not come across build 34.0.1847.137 anywhere. Did you try here? Dencorso I did. The problem with that link is that it only downloads an 800KB stub. I searched the ends of the internet and have not found a full installer anywhere else. I know from past experience that once you download the stub, it will connect to Google's servers and download the current full installer-- which is not compatible with SSE processors and will fail to run.
heinoganda Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 @sdfox7If you still have interest on the Google Chrome Version 34.0.1847.137, have sent you a PM.
sdfox7 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 @sdfox7If you still have interest on the Google Chrome Version 34.0.1847.137, have sent you a PM. Sounds interesting. I would be interested in archiving this in my /xp directory. Apparently your file is password-protected?
heinoganda Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) @sdfox7 The download is password protected, the content is a 7z SFX (created with 7z SFX Builder) which is not password protected. Can be easily unpack with WinRAR since version 4.2, as well with 7z Packer since version 9.2. (Therein the control contain files, in the directory "Installer" updater and installer program, that can be installed with appropriate commands manually.) Edited February 20, 2016 by heinoganda
bearwindows Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Also searching latest with non-SSE2 CPU requirements FULL chrome (NOT Chromium, SrwIron etc...!!!) standalone installer either entrerprise one (mostly MSI) or EXE - normal standalone one. Edited October 3, 2016 by bearwindows
Evil Dad Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 You may have to rename GoogleUpdate.exe to GoogleUpdate.bak in "C:\Program Files\Google\Update" to prevent Chrome from updating itself. If installation fails you can run the setup program in a directory of "C:\Program Files\Google\Update\Offline" as an alternative. This tip or this tip is also useful if you need to run flash content in Chrome.
