Windows Vista SP2 on Virtualbox 7.0.10 running Supermium

Supermium is a free and open-source web browser that is a fork of Chromium. The main feature of Supermium is support for old versions of Microsoft Windows that are no longer supported by Chromium; this includes all versions prior to Windows 10,[5] starting with Windows XP.[1][6] Supermium has other features not supported by Chromium, including the Google Chrome Sync service.[1] The web browser is developed by Shane Fournier.[1][6] The developer plans to introduce features such as Windows 2000 support, WebGPU for D3D9 rendering, and Manifest V2 support in future versions.[7]

Supermium has 32-bit and 64-bit executables.[1] The versioning is based on Chromium's.

Requirements

Supermium can be run on Windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 and above.[8] It requires at least a 32-bit processor with support for the SSE2 instruction set. It has been reported to run on processors as old as the Pentium 4.[7]

Reception

In a positive review, Softpedia's Roberto Samir wrote, "Given how powerful nostalgia can be for those who grow tired of the rather sterile and minimalist design of nowadays' operating systems, a brief return to the past can be made easier with Supermium whenever internet browsing is part of the equation."[9]
