Use Chromium 86 instead of Chromium 49
Unlikely. Chromium v49 is the last official XP compatible version released by the Google fellows. I am not aware of any open-source repo of any more recent Chromium backport. The Chinese spying 360 browser that you have in mind most likely, is closed source and therefore cannot be used (nor would that be desireable due to the spying inside). So unless you could provide a link to a more modern Chromium open-source-repo with XP compat Zero3k, the way Alex chose here of starting with the last compatible version, and then seeing what can be applied on top of that (and what to leave out) seems very reasonable to me.
One of the potential goals of Supermium is to backport latest to XP, so maybe unified latest Thorium for XP-11 could exist.
But that relies on modifying Vista/XP (unless there's a way to do it without needing to do the modifications).
I believe that I can make Supermium work on XP and Vista without modifying the operating systems.
I'm working on adding implicit TLS support to XP in my custom DLL (wrapping around LoadLibrary) and it is starting to work.
The Chinese spying 360 browser that you have in mind most likely, is closed source and therefore cannot be used (nor would that be desireable due to the spying inside).
You know the reason why it's been modified and got telemetry parameters removed right ?
the original chrome is the world's nº1 spying browser as well as the whole Android eco-system. so what ?
People who are interested on a more modern XPSP3 compatible fork of the Chromium sources can have a look at https://github.com/win32ss/supermium in the version >= 121. Which is mostly on par with Chromium 121 sources. Technically impressive! This is a much better choice than the Chinese forks that were mentioned before. I do see nothing wrong with @Alex313031 sticking with a more conservative (and less resource hungry) base. It's always good to have options as a user.
