I saw that xperceniol mentioned a new Chromium browser for XP (Supremium) which is based on newest version of Chromium 121.

Intriguing. Chromium 121 for XP would be huge. I've been watching Supremium's Github repo and noticed that it was just updated to add XP support but there's a catch - the installer won't work with XP and they are planning to fix that in a future update.

Meanwhile you can just use 7-zip to manually extract the files following the instructions:
https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1259070
1. Open 7-Zip.
2. Navigate to the setup file you downloaded and hit the 'Extract' button (make note of where you extracted the files to).
3. There should be 3 files: mini_installer.exe, progwrp.dll and setup.exe. Use 7-zip to extract the mini_installer.exe file and make note of where you extracted the files to.
4. You will see chrome.7z. Again, use 7-zip to extract all files maintaining directory structure.
5. It should have created a Chrome-bin directory where you will see the chrome.exe Go back to the first directory and copy the progwrp.dll to the same directory as chrome.exe.
6. Launch chrome.exe
I tested it in my XP SP3 VM and it was sluggish. Even going into settings kept freezing the browser. I unfortunately don't have the time to do extensive testing but I post these instructions in hopes that other XP users will test drive Supremium and provide feedback to the rest of us.
