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....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+.
There hasn't been an update to Legacy for the best part of a year so don't hold your breath.(Sort of related.)
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?
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)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?
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.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)

kextstat -l
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.That's not going to help with the kext though!

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?
fyi recent merge
