it's neat that it works on legacy windows versions, but it's much slower than this chromium backport. (details)

i like their option for compact ui though

Brave and Vivaldi are corporate sellouts. They saved Manifest V2 but instantly deleted core engine features (WebSQL, FTP, JPEG-XL) the second Google dropped them to avoid technical debt. Supermium actually defies those engine deletions while maintaining modern zero-day CVE patches. As for CRW7, it's more of a hack. It resurrects dead zombie code (SwiftShader/DXVA) directly into the core rendering pipeline, causing massive merge conflicts that permanently destroy their security update speed. Supermium wins because it uses reverse engineered OS API shims (progwrp). By intercepting calls at the OS boundary instead of bloating the web engine, Supermium rebases and patches zero days infinitely faster than CRW7 ever will.
