-Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 support restored, including x64. Self-extract or use the portable distribution available
through the Supermium Plus Package on
https://www.patreon.com/win32 as the regular installer does not work on XP/2003.
A new installer will be developed to resolve the shortcomings of the regular installer.
There should be few caveats compared to Supermium on other platforms, with exception of hardware
acceleration and some issues with printing of web pages.
-New branding and new interface elements, specifically with regards to tabs. Trapezoidal full-sized
tabs are the default, but the following options in chrome://flags can be used to customize the tabs:
#custom-tab-shapes - if disabled, reverts the tabs to the standard Chrome look.
#override-tab-outline-default - black outline enabled by default with trapezoidal tabs, but not rounded tabs.
#override-new-tab-button-shape-default - toggles between rounded new tab button and trapezoidal new tab button.
#compact-ui - reduces the padding of the address bar and the tabs.
#transparent-tabs - introduces some level of transparency to tabs (best with Aero Glass enabled)
-Many new flags from ungoogled-chromium. There are too many to list, but they include:
#tab-hover-cards - disable tab hover cards
#custom-ntp - set a custom new-tab page
#disable-sharing-hub
#clear-data-on-exit
Other flags will be shown in chrome://flags with "ungoogled-chromium" attribution in their descriptions.
-In particular, the flags #disable-encryption and #disable-machine-id now make Supermium user data portable
if enabled. The "portable" distribution will have a launch script with these flags enabled as well as a data
directory in the same directory as the executable.
-The option to restore the download shelf has been restored with the use of flag #download-bubble. to disable the download bubble.
-Flag #power-bookmarks-side-panel has been restored.
-Click-to-Call feature restored.
-GDI offsets in UI fixed. GDI crashes resolved.
-Rendering issues with tooltips and other UI elements should be resolved.
Please note that 2 CPU threads and at least 768 MB of RAM is recommended. We will make attempts to improve
performance on single-threaded systems for future releases.
