Supermium is a free and open-source web browser that is a fork of Chromium. The main feature of Supermium is support for old versions of Microsoft Windows that are no longer supported by Chromium; this includes all versions prior to Windows 10,[4] starting with Windows XP.[1] The browser also supports the Google Chrome Sync service and Chrome extensions.[5]

Supermium has 32-bit and 64-bit executables.[1] The versioning is the same as Chromium's.

The developer is Shane Fournier.[1] His motivation is "lightweight, highly compatible win32 applications", and his username on GitHub is "win32ss".[6]
