Actually, XPChrome does not have any spy behavior, but it is a paid software in China. I have not set up a payment channel abroad, so it is made free for one year. The user verification and upgrade detection services in XPChrome have not been completely removed, which has caused everyone to mistakenly believe it is spy behavior. However, I will remove them all later.

Okay.

@weolar Why is this project not open source. It seems that ALL of the Chromium forks for XP are closed source, and most of them are chinese and often have dubious trustworthiness (I am not saying that this browser is untrustworthy, but)

Just ignore the incoming anti-china biases, and keep moving on @weolar!! Been using kafan minibrowser with no problem for years, those anti-china users should just use rotten Mozilla-based browser forever hi hi

You already being generous making it free, hope you don't mind users who inevitably crack your timebomb.

thank you

My solution to stop chinese spying and to have something open-sourced is to turn my back on weolars xpchrome and use https://github.com/win32ss/supermium >= v121 instead. It's not perfect yet, but I could not catch any Chinese spying. It contacts regular U.S. Chrome services though, as most/all Chrome/Chromium based browsers do. It is open source. It is mostly XPSP3 compatible.
