You can use command line 109.0.5414.141_chrome_installer.exe --system-level to update Chrome from an existing installation.
1. Install VirtualBox (no idea if VMWare or others can do this), v6.1 works fine deffo, v7.0 probably works fine 2. Create a VM and install in it an OS that is supported by your web browser (like Debian, Q4OS, Zorin... or Win10/11 if you must) 3. Install VirtualBox Guest Additions in the VM 4. Restart then shut down VM 5. Go to its graphics settings and maximize GPU memory, acceleration and all that, set it to have the same number of monitors you have, so you can have maximum screen resolution 5. Start VM, install your web browser and copy its profile folder so you keep bookmarks, history etc 6. Maximize the VM's window(s) to fill your monitor(s) 7. run Seamless mode (Right Ctrl + L). The VM's desktop is now transparent, you just have the taskbar on the bottom and you can probably auto-hide it or whatever. (Alt+F2 is the Linux equivalent of Win+R). You can open windows but the rest of the VM's window doesn't obscure and block windows behind it and get rid of Chrome, people. It's advert-funded garbage. Use Chromium Ungoogled if a site doesn't work with anything else (it works with Google's own websites just fine), otherwise get a Firefox fork.
VMware has this feature since VMware 6.5 released in 2008 or so. There it's called "Unity mode" MS and Sun/Oracle just aped the feature. MS did it in VirtualPC and called it XP mode, Vbox introduced what they call "seamless mode" Hyper-V doesn't have this feature, but there you can use the remote app (just google for "remote app tool"). Something that works everywhere given the "remote machine" can be anything: A real second PC/home server/whatever A VM running in background (no matter if running inside VBOX / Hyper-V / VMware (also VMplayer) / Parallels and even virtual PC.
Today's update for supermium fixed sandbox on windows 7 if anyone was wondering about this. So it goes to show you that newer versions of chromium can run on windows 7 without issue.
My browser list is now updated to reflect updates posted here and to list all Win7 browsers in one place.
Cool list but you're missing most FF forks, like Basilisk, Pale Moon, SeaMonkey, Waterfox/Waterfox Classic
Glad I saw this. Wouldn't install without the "--system-level" switch. The link i grabbed said release 2 in it. Hope that was the right one. Then I couldn't remember if I got the 32 or 64 bit link (gettin' late, gettin' tired). Needless to say I got the 109.0.5414.141 going, says (Official Build) (64-bit) under 'about'. Landed in my Program Files (x86) as the last version did, with a Google/GoogleUpdater (that is empty) folders in Program Files. Only things I had to do was pin 2 of my extensions I watch and select 'show bookmarks bar' as I keep it. Win 7 64. Not sure why I had to change those 2 things but it's looks as tho all is in order.
I have been using catsxp for a month now & truthfully I like it. I mean I have scanned it with malwarebytes, kaspersky, windows defender, microsoft security essentials, & etc it all comes back clean. Also you can turn off the telemetry settings & other things if you want. Oh also the current release is on chromium v114 right now. Offers 64 bit & 32 bit versions, a portable version (can't auto update the portable version), also has widevine support, & a few other extra features. Oh also it still supports Windows Vista if you update your certificates. Though eh no idea if you need the kernel extension or not. but anyway highly think it should be added as well.
