Update to chromium 149.0.7793.0

changes and improvements (many thanks to @mjd7989):

(Experimental) WebGL hardware acceleration can now be enabled on Windows XP by installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2015-2019 for Windows XP, or alternatively by extracting the files from either the x86 or x64 folder inside libgles_and_dwrite_chromium_xp.zip into the directory containing chrome.dll and overwriting any existing files. You also need to add the command line parameter --use-angle=d3d9 ¹²³.
(Experimental) DWrite font rendering can now be enabled on Windows XP by extracting the files from either the x86_dwrite or x64_dwrite folder in libgles_and_dwrite_chromium_xp.zip into the directory containing chrome.dll.

Fixes:

Fixed an issue that caused the browser to crash when attempting to enable DWrite on Windows XP.

Footnotes

Whether hardware acceleration can be enabled also depends on your hardware. Hardware acceleration is only available on certain hardware. ↩
Using --use-angle=d3d9 will prevent WebGL 2 from being enabled. This means you need to make a trade off based on your needs. If you care about WebGL 2 and do not mind losing hardware acceleration, do not add --use-angle=d3d9. Otherwise, add --use-angle=d3d9. ↩
swiftshader is always available, which means even in the worst case, WebGL can still be used via software acceleration and will not be completely disabled. ↩
