I noticed after publishing this video that I didn't have the proper video driver installed on the XP machine (ugh). I went back and installed it, which did improve video playback performance on KZhead. It's also worth noting that this computer doesn't have a dedicated GPU, and is using the onboard Intel graphics. Still, the video playback even with the default driver was much better than I expected! I also heard from a friend of the developer, who maintains the old-browser-friendly download site, and was told that it displays properly in Internet Explorer 6 now! (in the video, the menu bar on the page didn't show up correctly). Also, the developer of Supermium has a Patreon page (www.patreon.com/win32/) where you can pledge to get early access to new releases, along with an installer that works properly on XP!
Good to know! I'm curious to see how well things would go with dedicated graphics hardware, which was nothing too fancy or rare back in the day, as integrated solutions have only got to be decent in later years. Watching 720p or 1080p KZhead videos in the late Vista/early Win7 era was not that much of a feat, really. With the player that YT used back then there's no reason things would not be just as smooth with this browser, just wonder what results we would have with the current one, which probably is a significantly heavier resource hog.
Integrated Intel GPUs actually quite good for decoding video. Not so much for gaming, ofc.
@@Vednierthose GPUs don’t support video decoding. Instead, they offloaded 2d rendering offloading that from the CPU allowing it to decode better
@@ckingproNot sure about this. Well, pure GPU is, true, just render picture. But modern is GPGPU with dedicated cores to support decoding video. How do you think mobile devices or set-top boxes do that? They have hardware decoders.
@@Vednier I am aware of hardware decoding. I am just stating that the XP laptop was too old.
you know what's awesome? discord works flawlessly on this browser, even voice chat and video streaming is supported! it's honestly insane that i can stream my screen to friends on an actual windows xp pc in 2024.
I've managed to do that in Mypal browser before, but it's not consistent
You can have obs on xp
I was just wondering this, and also whether Slack / MS Teams work.
@@zackie2107yeah but obs doesn’t stream to discord does it
There was also that chinese "360Chrome" or 360 Extreme Browser based on chrome 83 before Supermium came out, which was one of the most modern chromium based browsers you could run on XP without doing any workaround.
IE6: "So you woke me up just so you could subject me to downloading another browser again after all these years? That's cold, man."
Underrated comment 😂
I tested IE6 on VM, it works barely
Supermium is also really helpful for using Chrome on Windows 7 since they ended support.
mypal also works!
8.1 too
@@jbbiron2211yeah but mypal is based off an outdated version of Firefox
Regular Firefox ESR is still updated through the majority of this year.
stop using os with open security problem thatll never get fixed.
MJD, just wanted to thank you for all the help. Ive kept my The Dell Dimension 2400 alive using your videos as a guide for most PCs and Laptops. Saved Hours of installing modern browers. Have a wonderful day.
In addition to the browser where Supermium works, you can also get more modern software in general if you install Windows 7 (though you may need to upgrade the RAM). But, Pentium 4 isn't great for it and it will be more responsive in XP. Perhaps a dualboot.
@@ckingpro you probably could install a more modern release of Limux on it that is many years more recent than Windows 7
@@NazmusLabs that’s true as well. Debian continues to support 32-bit systems
i just found out that Mypal (that they say it's only on winXP) also works on vista. It could play youtube correctly and does searching correctly!
@@NazmusLabs yep
One thing I always do with Chrome or Firefox on any older device is enable the extension enhanced h264-ify, which will let you disable 60fps and various codecs. h264 tends to be the least CPU-intensive. It's not clear to me if you could install that extension on here. If so, I'd do that. But, even then, I think it might be something to include by default to make the older computer experience better. Another useful thing would be a KZhead extension that could play the video through another video player. VLC opens KZhead videos, last I checked. And dedicated players tend to be more able to play on older computers.
If it's a chrome extension, you can install it. I also endorse using h264ify, VP9 is so cpu heavy it pegs badly even cpus from 5 years ago...let alone 15-20 year old pentiums. Forcing h264 makes a world of difference.
@@charginginprogresssMy 2013 Dell Optiplex runs VP9 videos on Windows XP totally fine though MyPal, so eh
also 60fps video requires more cpu, which is another thing you could use extensions to do away with
I use ViewTube extension and configure it to play with external player
@@charginginprogresss"VP9 is so CPU heavy even on CPUs from 5 years ago" What really? I watch KZhead on 1440p in VP9 or AV1. CPU Core i7 4790K. Barely getting 8% CPU utilization. You must have certain driver missing in your system, or, corrupted driver where it doesn't affect anything else except video playback
i've seen supermium before and it's really cool! pretty impressive how chromium still works on the old kernels

Videos like yours made me want to restore my dad's Pentium M Toshiba Tecra from 2005. I'll definitely try this once it's up and running
I am currently working on an old windows xp and turning it into a 98 machine, here's one tip: replace the hard drive, it's a wonder mine still works after 20 years lol
@@Blitzer1001 The IDE hard drive in mine is still perfect! If it were SATA I'd do it since a brand new SSD is literally a drop in replacement but with IDE you more or less need an adapter, usually to mSATA i think. Since it works I'll keep it for now
Yes! Please do It and save that machine!
Do it! I've been tinkering with Windows XP on a 2009 iMac and I found the keyboard we used with our very first desktop PC, a Compaq iPaq. I just need an adapter to convert PS/2 to USB and it will be a blast of nostalgia.
@@MicrosoftGuy I'm going to do my best! It appears to suffer from some sort of power issue,given that ACPI doesn't work in either Linux or Windows. I've been working on it on and off since 2021 or something,but couldn't find the problem. Yesterday after the billionth teardown I noticed that one of the two legs on the CMOS battery is broken,and the battery itself may be dead. While it's of the soldered type it appears to be a generic part so I'll replace it asap. If that doesn't do the trick I'll need to look for a replacement motherboard. Good thing is even if I do this I can still keep the "heart and soul" of the machine,since the CPU and GPU are replaceable. Thanks for the encouragement!
I'm currently working (and typing this on) a 16 year old Acer Aspire laptop which has a very early Core2Duo CPU and it runs KZhead at 1080p perfectly using Opera One. I was absolutely gobsmacked to discover that upgrading the laptop to 4GB of RAM and an SSD would make it perfectly capable for regular stuff like browsing, KZhead, text editing and even photo editing using Photoshop CS6 (runs very smooth). Heck, I've been installing dozens of quite "recent" (from very recent to 5-6 years old indie games and most run fine and are perfectly playable. For a 8600M GT I was very surprised. It's running Windows 7 Ultimate now (no longer Vista which it originally came with) but it shows that an old laptop does not automatically become junk. I have a nice CRT hooked up to it & use a modern keyboard & mouse and it's a lot of fun to use. You got to love CRTs ...
The reason KZhead runs so well on that laptop is because of the 8600M GT likely having hardware video decoding. Even the shittiest 2 watt celeron for tiny PCs can run 4K60 KZhead just fine thanks to the hardware video decoding support.
Main takeaway from this video is you reminded me of Winworld which I forgot all about.
Installed it today on my old win xp machine with intel core quad q9550 and I must say it is very impressive, every site I tried worked flawlessly
Even youtube?
Wonder what it runs like on 10...
@@rustymixer2886 Yes, Providing your CPU is good and you have the Ram it runs like modern chrome, I have an XP machine and it ran flawlessly, That being said it was a quad core.
@@cedley1969 It's still the same Chrome experience. I've tried this on Windows 10 and 11

Watching a MJD video in a MJD video makes my day.
This is actually really cool! The lack of web browsers on old operating systems is honestly one of the biggest issues with them. You could probably actually daily drive those OSes now if you REALLY wanted to.
Unfortunately there are a lot more issues with daily driving those OSes, mainly app support if you wish to game on those OSes Steam no longer supports anything older than 10, GOG's launcher only supports Windows 8 or above (though through GOG you can launch those games without the launcher). And obviously Xbox was only introduced to Windows in Windows 10. There's also the issue of Security vulnerabilities unless someone has stepped up and is providing third party updates in 2024
Mac OS X support is even worse and Macs become obsolete very fast :(
@@PliskinYTI'm continuing to use Steam on a windows 7 computer, I'm sure something will break eventually but it's still working. That said, trying to play games released now on an OS from 10+ years ago is hit and miss, games contemporary with the 7 or XP are reasonable but I expect soon it will be a matter of using standalone installers like the good old days. God bless GoG. And God curse Ubisoft, who have done the opposite and made old games unplayable on the operating systems they were released for (God bless those privateering seamen, who give away keys to treasure chests). Is using XP as an everyday computer really such a security risk? If its vulnerabilities are known wouldn't it be possible, at least in principle, to patch them or else provide it external security?
@@thesenamesaretakenI thought Steam completely disabled access to windows 8 and lower in January
@@PliskinYTofficially not actually
You made a GREAT video here. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to use Chrome on old PCs. Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 also lost support for Chrome in February 2023 (last version was 110), so this can be used for that too. (fun fact: Firefox is still technically supported on Windows 7/8/8.1, but it's "extended support" and the last actual version was 115)
oh my , thank you I'm gonna use my XP for another 10 years
XP refuse to die
I just happened to install WIndows XP today and was wondering if there was a modern browser that I could even use. This is the perfect timing.
Why would you install such an old os?
Another alternative is MyPal, which is based on Firefox instead of Chromium.
same for retro gaming and using old cd/dvds
@@KepejasLT There are multiple reasons to do so. Some people do it for nostalgia, some because they want to tinker with it. Some software that worked on XP won't work on modern operating systems, so if you have software like that and want to use it, you go with XP. Just because something is old does not mean it is useless and should just be abandoned, and just because something is new does not mean it is better in every way, or even at all.
You could probably just barely push 720p on that Vista machine by using an extension to stop YT from serving 60fps video. I believe enhanced-h264ify allows you to do that, and it also lets you force YT to use different video codecs to see if those perform better or worse on old hardware.
You know what everytime michael making video with win xp, vista, and 7 it gives me a nostalgic feelings back to my childhood 😢
nice to see you making a video out of it, currently using supermium 119 on my vista notebook and it works great
Web pages keep crashing for me on vista does that happen to you?
@@iXx4L not at all, just some assets wont load, mostly emojis, but never had any crash
Thanks for this, I just downloaded Supermium on my XP gaming machine and it works nicely. Also subscribed!
60fps is significantly more demanding. I was actually surprised that it worked on 720p. I remember this in the early days being an issue, so I think it would have performed significantly better on a 30 or 24fps video. 720p 60fps is almost equivalent to 1440p on some devices in terms of demand in my experience.
Wow, that program looks very interesting to experiment in the retro computer operating system world. I will have to try it on my classic Windows XP PCs if they can handle it well. Nice work!
Most people had perfectly functioning XP machines. Those that abandoned them for newer hardware are those that are not so technically inclined. If any of you have machines stored away some where, you'll be surprised that most mid-tier legacy hardware can run Windows 10 exceptionally well circa 2005. You will be limited today dependent of your GPU in regards to video playback. I am running a Lenovo T60, custom build Windows 10 (Tiny10), and video playback on KZhead at 480 is perfect. Once you try the other resolutions you'll experiences issues. In regards to gaming, its all dependent on whether or not you have integrated graphics. You are stuck on a laptop with the GPU you got, on a PC you can upgrade your GPU to whatever your mobo allows. The beauty of this browser is that if you need to boot into XP to use era version software and need to access the internet, you no longer need to boot back into your main OS or have a second PC running alongside it. Windows XP is great, i stuck with XP and only upgraded to Windows 10 due to my workplace requirement. My laptop cannot emulate Windows XP from a virtual machine, so I require a dual boot. Just because a new Windows version got released, it doesn't mean your computer became obsolete. Repurpose it to fit your needs.
Thank you so much for these amazing videos, MJD! I love them. You are my top favorite KZheadr and I hope you continue uploading these fantastic videos ♥
Supermium, Legacy Update, and KernelEX on Windows Vista, this makes Windows Vista more usebale even today!
It's awesome to think that Windows XP released in 2001, and it still gets love from developers! I'll immediately install Supermium on my Windows XP machines!
I just tried this on a 2007 Dell that was collecting dust & after turning on all the flags that enable gpu support, it runs *ever better* than it did 17 years ago?! It couldn't even handle HD video back then, but for some reason KZhead runs perfectly fine now in Supermium? I'm kind of shocked. Major props on getting this compiled for i386 systems.
so glad u put this out my guy, i was just tryna look for a good browser to use that wasnt firefox
All of your videos are the best
MJD only has the best videos, but some of his videos are the BESTEST 🌈
I was surprised you didn't open the KZhead stats for nerds on either XP or Vista during the video. Sure, it was obvious to anyone with working eyes or ears that the video and audio weren't on par with systems using better specs, but it would've been groovy to put some numbers to it.
Probably the most amazing thing about this is that windows xp is 23 years old, it's older than most of the subs.
This news made my day, I've had a retro gaming XP machine with a Core i3 and Intel HD 2000 just sitting on a table for a while, this can make it a lot more fun.
If you can install Chrome extensions, h.264ify and a GPU that supports AVC hardware decoding would make KZhead usable. Radeon X1000 or some GeForce 600 series GPUs, or Clarkdale/Arrandale iGPUs would work.
Coincidentally I just looked it up. To get basic VP9 NVDEC playback, you need either a GeForce GTX 750-965M using the GM206 chip, or a GT 1030 or up. For AV-1, you need a 3000 or Up NVIDIA card. But for MPEG video including H.264, any NVDEC card will work. Don't know much about the others, but did notice that a lot of Intel integrated graphics units have MPEG-2 support listed, but not AVC.
@@StringerNews1 nvidia didn't support anything more modern than the GTX 960 on XP, though I've heard the hardware checks can be circumvented and 980s can be installed.
I prefer the enhanced version, as it gives more options.

Wow another video after the last one within a quick time period. Thats really impressive!
Good stuff. I just needed an XP machine to interface with a mid 2000s mp3 player. This made finding and installing those drivers way nicer.
I watched this on a Dell Inspiron E1505 from 2006. Its specs are as follows: 4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, OCZ Vertex 3(?) 120GB SSD, 1680x1050 LCD, and Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Using Opera 95, I was able to stream this and most most other videos at 720p with minimal lagging. This laptop is currently my daily driver, despite having an 11th Gen i5 powered Lenovo within arms reach XD Thank you so much for making these videos as they have really helped me keep my old computers going! I can't wait to see whats next!
I'm watching this on a late-2009 MacBook with 8gb of ram, a Core 2 Duo p7330, geforce 9400m graphics, a 1280x800 display, a 500gb 7200RPM 2.5" hard drive(the ssd just died), and running 10.13 High Sierra.(I also have 10.7 Lion, and 10.9 Mavericks installed)
You know that, old pc is one thing, but to use OCZ Vertex...are you serious? Early SSD is not vintage, they just bad, controllers simply going nuts with bugs. You can easy switch to any modern TLC based SSD and it will be way better, even if NAND is technically worse.
@@Vednier I know, I used that drive because it’s what I had on hand, not to complete the “vintage” setup. So far, it’s been totally fine though. No errors, and it’s pretty fast,
@@93Volvo240Yes, i see, but problem with those early SSD is that they tends to just die suddenly, without any prior signs. This is, actually, problem with all SSD, but modern one at least try to show some warnings prior or go read-only on first internal problem. OCZ stuff was known to just "stop working". I would not use it for any even remotely valuable data. Its miracle its still alive, i heard of people literally changing them in months, as expendable. And one additional word about speed - probably not as fast as modern ones. Current SATA SSD already reached limits of SATA interface, some not without tricks, some by pure NAND speed.
@@Vednier I understand, but I don’t see a need to replace it right now. There is no important data on that computer whatsoever, so if the drive dies tomorrow, I’ll just replace it.
Dude I love the fact that your wall is covered in floppy disks! It looks SO COOL

Awesome video! Very soothing. I also like using Windows XP! I just feel comfortable with the old operating systems!

Supermium is an awesome project for longevity
I've started using my old Dell Optiplex GX620 that runs Windows XP with Pentium D inside, a browser I found was K-Meleon which is good but Superium is just in another level. K-Meleon didn't even load KZhead for me but Superium did and I am very happy. Hopefully I can live forever with Windows XP man. Thanks for helping me out!
I use MyPal, which is Firefox 68 based, can be a bit finicky though. May have to give this a try on my Optiplex GX270 I just got.

Windows Vista is usable enough on its own with Firefox 52 which can ACTUALLY be installed from IE7, unlike IE5 on Windows XP. Therefore, it makes no sense to run Supermium on Windows Vista. Supermium is still a great browser for Windows XP.
Firefox 52 is starting to get "unsupported" by many websites, like Google that now use the mobile version of it's UI. It still works, but it's just a matter of time before it won't. Also XP it's IE 6, not IE 5. But if you do all updates you should have IE 8, even on SP2.
@@Kiki79250CoC It isn’t actually getting unsupported by them. These websites are not actually impacted and the Apple website still manages to somehow look terrible on this browser like it always did.

Awesome! Been waiting on a modern version of Chrome to be made available for XP. This and MyPal browser are quite impressive achievements!
This is pretty impressive! I'm currently running an older Firefox version (48.0.2 or 52.4.0 ESR) and Mypal 68 on my Windows XP machine and the latter browser can do 720p KZhead videos in the upper limit of things. Though having an even more up to date browser on it would be lovely...
This is great. Sometimes we do need to browse when in XP, like installing new drivers, that VC++ runtime, etc. when installing a game or two. However, I wouldn't suggest regular browsing on XP or even 7 for that matter. The best option is to have a dual boot setup, with a common disk partition (NTFS) accessible from both Linux and XP/ 7. The Linux could be in a different SSD, 128 GB ones are pretty cheap these days (sometimes even cheaper than a 64 GB pen drive). Then do all browsing/ network activity on that Linux which is up to date, yank the LAN cable every time booting into Windows. This simple setup makes it the most secure retro PC that can also be used regularly.
I installed this browser on Windows XP! This is awesome! Modern websites, KZhead, Discord with Voice Chat etc. All it's working!
Thanks for the video and your quest to make retro new again! One ding for Supermium is that there isn't (yet) an unistall mechanism.

You know you're truly old when you remember when 720 was considered HD back then.
Just a thing I've noticed, some older systems can handle 720p and 1080p videos just fine when they are 25 or 30FPS. 60FPS makes the playback choppy and inconsistent as seen in the video. There are some extensions that can force 30FPS playback on higher resolutions, and installing one of them (or simply not watching 60FPS videos) will significantly improve the playback experience.
Thank you for this solution! I have an old pc running winxp in school that we use everyday as a station with Google form to add new students. And some functions are not working properly in forms, because of the old browser

Maybe you should try a project called Invidious where it's basically an alternative frontend to youtube and potentially runs it better than stock youtube would.
Definitely agree! Stock youtube visibly chugs in firefox for me now no matter what I do (enable ublock/disable etc) like a webpage rendering from the 90s. Love Invidious, so clean tidy and customisable (you can make it very distraction free!)
@@jcxtraIt is likely intentional. Run YT on Chrome or Edge, if it runs fine then it is intentional
Agreed 100%. It breathes life into my old iPad that ran out of space and is unable to download a current iOS to use the app anymore.

Using it right now on Windows Vista to right this comment, pretty cool project that works without the extended kernel.
This is amazing i can watch this video on Windows Vista now.
Thx! And i allready downloaded it! For ask, im a win xp veteran...
The real killer for 720p on the 6510b was the 60fps. When they first introduced that, i also had to bump down to 480p on my Core 2 laptops. You can use extensions to turn it off and some later Core 2 devices will do 1080p to this day!
I always wanted a project like this for 32 bit versions of iOS, to make use of some first gen iPads I had lying around, at least as a KZhead player

If you open the archive on 7-Zip and you did not see the mini installer to extract on 7-Zip, then you can extract the setup file by using 7-Zip by clicking "Extract files" and then select a location that you want to extract your files to on your desktop. Once done in your selected location on your desktop you picked when you extracted your files, click on the "Supermium" folder and then open the Supermium browser from there in the "Supermium" folder. Hope this helps! :)

I should really try to install this on some of my older computers. I have a 2002 Dell Inspiron 2650, a 2003 Gateway 450ROG and a 2006 Compaq Presario SR1910NX that I think this would run great on.
this guy who created this is a hero!
Mindblowing! 🤯 Any similar project dedicated to ressurect internet browsing on old Android versions?
I'd be curious which codecs it tries to decode, and always waited for you to display the stats. Maybe you'd have to block VP9, so it doesnt try to software decode - but I feel AVC also wouldn't have hardware acceleration, on hardware that old, wouldn't be as big of a processor load tho.
A few years ago (circa 2020) I was able to get an 8K video to play off of KZhead on a 32bit Windows Vista laptop. While it only played at a frame per 100 seconds, it was interesting to see how well Chrome v45 handles the modern web. Unfortunately, KZhead doesn’t support VP9 for 8K videos anymore, so the laptop is only able to play videos up to 4K.
I love your videos so much

Hmm I Never EVER Saw Michael Upload Every 2 Days. Cool To Be Honest
Wow, tysm.. this is what my 20yo thinkbook T43 needed
i can confirm it works like butter on my xp install (multiboot setup) kinda tedious that i have to install some fonts _(japanese for example)_ as they don't render properly without them
I love Supermium!!! Now I can have a modern browser on Windows 8 build 7850!!! I have a super awesome idea: Supermium for Android 2.3
That'll be coo!!
