Chromium 150.0.7871.253 for Windows 2000

This project was made possible thanks to the excellent patches created by e3kskoy7wqk, included in the Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK repository (huge thanks to e3kskoy7wqk!).


Hardware Requirements

  • CPU: Requires a processor with SSE2 instruction set support.
  • RAM: At least 512MB is recommended, 1GB for more than one tab.

Platform Support

  • Windows 2000 (SP0–SP4) (including Extended Kernel v3.1l)
  • Windows XP x86 (SP0–SP2)
  • Windows XP x86 SP3, XP x64 and newer: Use the Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK builds instead.
  • Windows Whistler and late Windows 2000 Beta builds: Might work, but not officially supported.

Highlights

  • Native compatibility: Built straight from Chromium source changes - zero binary patches or external DLL wrappers.
  • Functional Sandbox: Full sandbox is working, matching the safety level of the Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK builds on XP SP3.
  • Crashpad restored: Proper crash dumps are generated, making debugging significantly easier.
  • Manifest V2 support: Full support for Manifest V2 extensions.
  • SwiftShader always available: Software rendering via SwiftShader is built-in and fully accessible. WebGL 1.0 and 2.0 is supported.
  • Optional DirectWrite: Simply extract the dwrite_w2k.zip archive into the same folder as chrome.exe to enable DirectWrite font rendering.

Known Issues

  • Tooltips behavior:
    • Transitioning between tooltips has a ~1s delay.
    • A blinking text caret causes active tooltips to dismiss early.
  • Video playback:
    • Audio may sound robotic/metallic during video playback.
    • Video playback may experience stuttering or dropped frames.

Updated at 19:53 UTC on September 17, 2026 - fixed crashes on Windows 2000 running on older SSE2-capable processors, such as the Intel Pentium M, and fixed a very rare crash on the Windows 2000 with extended kernel 3.1l. Installation of extensions from sources other than the Chrome Web Store have also been fixed.
