...but that's what people have always been doing on this subforum. If you look at the front page of the Early Intel Mac forums, there's many active threads where people have been chronicling their hardware/software hacks and restoration projects involving older versions of OS X.

In fact, this very thread is a discussion about keeping old Intel Macs alive without Linux or OCLP through a backport of Chromium to 10.7+.
Yeah, not speaking as a Moderator, but I specifically joined MacRumors because there was a Classic forum that was highly active back in the day.

I used support within that forum to help keep my (namesake) Quadra 840av alive. It is still fully functioning today thanks to this community.

A new (and final) release of Kiwi Browser is available for Android. It identifies as Chrome 132, and scores 577 of 594 at html5test.co on my Android 7.1 tablet, better than Webview 132 on my Android 11 tablet (544/594).

Updates to Chromium Legacy often follow Kiwi Browser releases, so maybe an update soon?

There hasn't been an update to Legacy for the best part of a year so don't hold your breath.
 
so i launched chromium legacy today and i realized syncing had paused an none of my passwords were showing up. i signed in with my google account and everything seemed to be fine. i quit chromium and relaunched it. it wasnt saving my logins. i was signed out of my google account again. there is a notification saying to relaunch chromium to allow access to macos keychain, however it is not doing anything after relaunching.
 
Unless you absolutely need Chromium to access a specific website, I think it's time to move to Firefox Dynasty, at least until Blueboxd updates the app again.

When I try to install the PrefPane, it gives me an error saying that the kext didn't install because it's not from a signed developer. I didn't see an option to install anyways. Any suggestions?

Right click on it, select "Open", then click to agree in the warning box that appears (can't remember the exact text you will see) ;)

Cheers :)

That's not going to help with the kext though! The kext also shouldn't be getting installed on anything newer than OS X 10.9. Since kext signing doesn't exist on 10.8, I'm going to assume izzy0242mr is on 10.9.

I'm not sure what's going on, but before we try to debug this, can you confirm the kext actually wasn't installed? Please open Terminal and run:

kextstat -l

Do you see KQueueScanContinuePatch in there?

Sorry, I don't have the Mac anymore. I was setting it up for someone else and they picked it up before I saw these replies. So I can't test it. I ran the uninstaller in order to avoid the risk of kernel panics/reboots since I saw that was a risk if the kext wasn't installed.
