An example is here -- http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1082 We could redistribute the winPenPack loader instead of the one that we have been using. sometimes when I launch the browser an error prompt pops up but the browser works fine (C:\......TEMP\360Loader\regedit\backup1\backup-11.reg error...) I can't remember what is the regedit string for the 360chrome browser so I can delete and reset it.

I can only install ublock and umatrix. Not worth it. Will wait unitl supernium is up for xp 2

Supermium is easily distinguishable from other Chromium-based browsers, by the fact that it has some old features from old versions of Chrome/Chromium, and its author (@win32) is planning to support this browser all the way down to Windows 2000 SP4 in the future. (a bit off-topic, since this topic targets Windows XP) Edited January 3, 2024 by mina7601 1

XPerceniol Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 (edited) I hope we haven't lost you @Sampei.Nihira here. I (and I'm sure I'm not alone) would miss you very much. Understand, though, if you'd rather stay quiet going forward and not reply and regardless All's well that ends well so they say. Take good care of yourself and enjoy your retirement.

Cixert Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 So can we conclude that the 1 year time bomb starts on the version's production date? Or what date does the time bomb start?
NotHereToPlayGames Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 The browser is from here -- https://github.com/weolar/xpchrome/releases It was released on November 21st of the year 2023. The "one year" is discussed here -- https://github.com/weolar/xpchrome/issues/11#issuecomment-1817344497 The "one year" is *NOT* technically one year. The "first" time bomb "activation" (ie, the browser will crash at startup) is August 1st of the year 2024. That is 8 months and 11 days, or 254 days, which is not, by any country's definition, "one year" -- https://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=11&d1=21&y1=2023&m2=08&d2=01&y2=2024 But the "time bomb activation" is improperly coded - it will crash on August 1 of 2024 it will crash on September 1 of 2024 it will crash on October 1 of 2024 it will crash on November 1 of 2024 it will crash on December 1 of 2024 But it will NOT crash on - January 1 of 2025 February 1 of 2025 March 1 of 2025 April 1 of 2025 May 1 of 2025 June 1 of 2025 July 1 of 2025 But then it WILL crash on - August 1 of 2026 September 1 of 2026 October 1 of 2026 November 1 of 2026 December 1 of 2026 But it will NOT crash on - January 1 of 2027 et cetera 1
UCyborg Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 History shows you'll all be rushing to the then latest Chrome in no time, so that timebomb doesn't strike me as something to be concerned about. You might already have.

No time bombs have gone off. I found the browser in general to be very good, faster and with fewer bugs than Supermium at the time. Now Supermium has evolved while no new version of XPchrome has been released. I think the criticisms made about XPchrome are excessive. We XP users are not in a position to make demands. If the author wants to sell the browser commercially, that seems fine to me. Unfortunately, I don't see the project continuing at this time.

jumper Posted March 15 Posted March 15 So it's good now for over a year. Then if the crash is at launch, open it the night before the five crash dates and leave it open. Or maybe set the system date back a day, launch, then correct the date?
