Thanks! I can only see some patches in the chromium-131.0.6740.0.zip folder.

There is a second link to mini_installer.exe, which is a browser.

Yes, it works, I was assuming to get a portable ZIP version, but I extracted the mini_installer.exe, which also did just fine. Sorry, I can't add any more likes today, but I'll do it later.

What to do so he could reconsider? Organise donations, maybe? I don't want to use Supermium at all costs. 

Supermium is already old when released. This one was always up to date.

You wouldn't have that "problem" if you didn't spend 'all your time' to go through *ALL* posts by your 'favorite people' and post "likes" to content in JANUARY OF 2022 for NO REASON other than it was one of your "favorite people".

"Kids these days..."

 

edit:  when you're done with all the "likes" for your 'favorite people', I'd kind of suggest you (and the other's that "do this") at least kind of EVEN THE SCORE by doing the SAME for folks like roytam, feodor, tihiy, et cetera.

Why would I upvote something that doesn't work with yahoo and paypal?

Never heard before! This topic caster helped ne a lot. I want to upvote him, sorry you're not happy with it.

I'll give you a like for agreeing with an obvious statement though.

If you're on github, if you like this browser, help us to reconvince the creator.

I am on GitHub.  But...  You won't like this answer.  I technically no longer subscribe to "keep XP alive" or "keep 7 alive".

The endeavor is a great endeavor, don't get me wrong.

But what we end up with instead is spoon-feeding a sect of society that *CAN* afford a newer mode of internetting (and most even confess HAVING NEWER) but think that they are somehow "entitled" to the rest of the world keeping their XP or 7 capable of "everything".

Yeah I remember years ago, I used to be very against using old OSs such as XP because of security update issues.  Then I relaxed on it, but over the time morphing my stance to just include Vista and up.  Now, with my fully ditching any trace of Vista or older, I stick to JUST keeping Windows 8 going.  I don't care about the security updates so much.  It's just that I like how Windows 8 looks and feels vs Windows 10.

However, I've really started to see Windows XP as archaic.  It's odd for me to think that in 2025, Windows XP has ANY place on a running PC, but this time around, I'm not really worried about how others feel about my expressing that opinion.   It just is what it is.  When I made a comment in one of Roytam1's threads about using Betterbird vs MailNews or Interlink, I was reminded that the goal was to have a client running on XP or higher.  My first thought was, "Oh yeah - that!"  It feels more like an irritation that won't go away, rather than a goal to aspire to.

He made few reworked versions. It also can support XP and Vista without extended kernels

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.

What about ungoogled? I want ungoogled.

Ungoogled would be a fork, not a port. Please stay on-topic.

I am on-topic.

The topic name is "Firefox and Chromium running on Windows 7 by e3kskoy7wqk"

It references the generic Chromium. Ungoogled is also Chromium, and more to the point, the author e3kskoy7wqk releases it.

Let me help you find it.

https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7/releases/tag/ungoogled-chromium_140.0.7339.127

So please stay on-topic.

Jody, Vista is the same 6.x as Win8, as soon as he retires Vista, Win8 will follow the same road.

Win10 is another story though.

I still have LTSC 2019 setup, and heavily customized, but I'm putting off using it.  I really enjoy Windows 8.
