I would like to say, even though it doesn't add much, that the version of Task Manager you get from the Classic Task Manager thing isn't completely accurate to XP

is there an old chrome theme for the brave browser?


Report Reply

posted

for brave? i dont think there is. i'm aware that there was a long period of time where brave could use chrome themes, you could try using Classic Blue Theme (back to 50). you could also try switching browsers, Pale Moon (and browsers built from it), Vivaldi, 360chrome and Firefox (soon) all have old chrome themes

Take a look to these.
Here's a fork of Chromium for Windows XP/Vista/7 and above.
https://github.com/win32ss/supermium
Here's the extended Kernel for Windows Vista, you can find additional information on msfn or additional youtube videos.

there is no reason to add supermium, there are other browsers on this list that work on XP that also fit the "old web" style. the extended kernals are pretty cool though! i'll add those whenever i get the chance, thank you for sending!

Don't agree 100% with you regarding Supermium. The only Chromium fork mentioned in this thread that might work in XP and in modern web is 360. but 360 now is outdated (cause it's bassed on Chrome 86), and the chinese version is a bit hard to configure. So I suggested Supermium since it works on XP, is bassed on a more updated Chromium engine
(chromium 117+), the only drawback is that the browser might be a bit laggy. But it still has a better experience compared with 360 and other Chinese chromium forks.

supermium is visually just current google, which does not fit with the "old web" look mentioned on the title of the post. it's nice that it exist (if you like chromium at least) but there are other better fitting browsers on this list
