    There is an advantage technically it's mostly for people who are doing clean installs, maybe integrating it into an ISO, or they just don't have Microsoft edge installed lol. Also, these updates usually take 1-3 days to roll out, so you can download this & manually update Microsoft edge using it if you for some odd reason can't wait for Microsoft to release the update.

    Oh, one last thing I thought of, it's nice to keep a log/list so people know what browser the latest/last version is.

    So, posting links is kind of a good thing.

    The release is always the same: 95.0.4635.84.
    Maybe a mistake.

    What now....

    Use the current version until it takes apart (the real Opera, which is unsupported since 2013, still works on 80% of current websites)

    Use a different browser

    Install a minimal Linux or W10 in a VM and browse the web from there.

    Hope that someone patches Opium to make it working on Win7 (I wouldn't take the breath)

    Upgrade to W10

    Switch to Linux

    Supermium v117 gets installed to a new folder.

    V115 gets installed to a folder named chromium in the c:users/username/appdata directory.

    In v117 it gets installed to a new folder called supermium which is also located in c:users/username/appdata directory.

    So eh sadly going to have to uninstall v115 & then install v117 or manually download v117 & extract it & place it over the v115 files. Since the location where the browser is installed to changed.

    Edit: after thinking about it maybe you could try changing the name of the old chromium folder to supermium & then try using the installer to update.

    Thanks of ExiledRose6084, problem solved.

    Just copy the the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Chromium to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Supermium and new supermium will recognize old settings.
    Deinstall the old Supermium first (inluding browser data, this removes %LOCALAPPDATA%\Chromium), then install new version.

    I installed the new supermium using the command
    mini_installer --system level
    so the new supermuim was installed to
    %ProgramFiles%\Supermium

    Obviously you don't want to delete your user profile, just because a minor update in the browser.

    You will loose cookies password preferences and so on, something that may be desiderable only in extreme cases

    Sorry, you didn't read carefully.
    Before I have removed my profile, I have copied it to a new location.

    Sorry :oops:, I didn't get you were moving from chromium to supremium.

    With all the people excited with the new supremium build I thought it was just a supremium udate.

    No problem.
    I was updating supermium 115.0.5760.0_R2 to supermium 117.0.5859.0, but supermium changed folder names from chromium to supermium.
