MaterSystem Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Thanks for the answer Windows Explorer can automatically read images in thumbnail mode Open source management repositories due to the massive amount of source code and resources should always be wary of malicious code that can be loaded into the repository. So, I am quite wary of downloading source code from the repository

FantasyAcquiesce Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 While I'm doubting an individual can backport XP easily, it's certainly not impossible considering Maxthon, UC Browser, Coc Coc, Slimjet, Chedot, Advanced Chrome, and a couple more. We just need to figure out how exactly they backport the newer code and what code is removed during the process. I would say building on top of Advanced Chrome for XP would be a good place to start, if anywhere. Problem is that newer versions of Chromium removed the support. Looking at here, the Google developers changed the compiler
dencorso Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 We have @roytam1's browsers and 360chrome on top of it. Why lose time reinventing the wheel? 1

It's not easy for countless reasons that I don't wanna keep repeating in each and every post. I'm becoming pragmatic: the modified source code is there and available. Wanna help? Publish commits, otherwise being yet another person asking for it won't help us. Yes, we do want Chromium on XP, but don't expect to have it by some sort of magic stick that makes it work. I had four goes at it, trying to backport it, working together with @Dibya and Samuel, but we failed. The last attempt got very close, but guess what? It's not working. Why? I partially know why. Will I try to have a fifth go at it and try again? Maybe. Will I do it right now because yet another person asked it? No. This is something me and other people are doing in their spare time so don't hold your breath. Good afternoon, Frank.
Andy Sethmaier Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Frank, you are blocked, you ridiculously rude as*****.

Destro Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 I also don't see how frank was rude at all, sounds like you could use an emotional support animal. 8
Humming Owl Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 Hello, I know this thread has been inactive for quite a while but I wanted to provide some information that I read when I was searching about Chromium-based browsers on Chinese search engines. https://www.cnblogs.com/luckbird/p/CEF_2623_Compile.html The links provided by the page are still working. Also, I found this tool --> https://colab.research.google.com/ It is a virtual computer in which you can deal with huge files without having to use your computer for it. It served me when I was trying to compress a file before downloading to not waste so many of my GB plan on the download. I was able to execute "7zip" through command-line to do it. It comes with a lot of tools installed and you can add more if you want (You can mount you Google Drive for extra space). It is based on Linux (Ubuntu or Debian I think). I do not know if it is useful information but I wanted to share it. Cheers.
FantasyAcquiesce Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Maybe this could be helpful too...it discusses compiling this embedded Chromium with Windows XP support. https://www.programmersought.com/article/57912493451/
Humming Owl Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I found this --> https://github.com/weolar/miniblink49 This is a CEF build that supports WinXP (the description of the program says that NPAPI is supported as well). I tested the first release and it actually works on XP and html5test says it is Chromium 69 --> https://github.com/weolar/miniblink49/releases/tag/2017-5-31 The source code is distributed with every release so I think this is a very promising project from which patches can be extracted, or it may serve as a base to build a browser directly from it. Many components from the original Chromium were removed (as it it based on CEF). The developer of the project also shared his email in case someone wants to communicate with him. Official page --> https://miniblink.net/ Cheers. Edited December 10, 2021 by Humming Owl
NotHereToPlayGames Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 Looks promising! A bit over my head but I'm generally a quick learner if we can kinda create some sort of "tutorial" as a starting point.
