Supermium for Windows

Supermium — Modern Chromium Built for Legacy Windows

Supermium is a slimmed-down Chromium derivative made to give older Windows machines a current browsing experience. It targets Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7, and 8.x while keeping memory and CPU demands low so legacy PCs can remain usable on today’s web.

Highlights and user-facing options

• Persistent dark theme support for a consistent low-light UI.
• Customizable tab behavior and Aero Glass-inspired titlebar decorations to blend with classic Windows visuals.
• A compact build that runs on 32-bit systems limited to SSE2 instruction sets.
• Google account synchronization is available so bookmarks, history, and passwords can follow you across devices.

Security, rendering, and playback

• Regular, fast-turnaround security updates and patches to address vulnerabilities quickly.
• A functioning sandbox model to isolate web processes and reduce exposure to malicious pages.
• Support for DRM-protected playback on systems where the necessary components are present.
• GDI-based font rendering for improved text clarity on older display stacks.

Advanced configuration and customization

• Many configuration flags from ungoogled-chromium are present, allowing power users to toggle privacy and feature tweaks.
• Lightweight footprint with selective feature inclusion so you can enable only what you need.

Compatibility roadmap

Supermium’s maintainers plan ongoing releases to broaden hardware and OS compatibility and to add additional functionality over time. Expect incremental improvements to media support, security hardening, and configurable options aimed at keeping legacy Windows installations both usable and safe.
