Supermium 121 - Updated Chromium browser for Windows 7
Chromium 121 has been back-ported to work with older Windows OSes (XP, Vista, 7,8 & 8.1) In this screenshot I was able to install Ublock Origin. I tried Brave and Regular Chrome and got an error "Item currently unavailable". Google won't let you download extensions from the Chrome Web Store with older browsers anymore.
From author's GitHub page:
Supermium
An up-to-date Chromium-based web browser compatible with Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7 and 8.x.
The Supermium web browser also provides the following features:
-Aero Glass and Aero Glass-style titlebars instead of Windows 10-style ones (#force-xp-theme in chrome://flags for the latter)
-Turnaround for major vulnerability patches generally less than one week from upstream disclosure
-A functional sandbox for enhanced security
-Google Sync
-On Windows 7 and up, Widevine CDM support for viewing DRM content
-GDI font rendering, using #force-gdi in chrome://flags
-Persistent dark mode on the browser's UI elements, using #force-dark-mode in chrome://flags
-Custom tab options including trapezoidal tabs, transparent tabs, and outlined tabs
-Many flags from ungoogled-chromium
-Support for SSE2-only processors in the 32 bit build
Future support for:
-Windows 2000
-Ungoogled Chromium features (in progress)
-WebGPU for D3D9 renderer
-Manifest V2 (once removed by Google)
...and more! If there's a feature you want, which cannot be replicated by a Manifest v2/v3 extension, please ask!
