Hello.
I was looking around for browsers for Windows XP today and apparently I dug quite deep because I found a chinese browser called Extreme Explorer 360 (Chrome 360) or something like that. It was advertised as Chromium 69 based so I decided to give it a try and to my biggest surprise it actually worked. 
At first I thought that there was absolutely no way that it is based on Chromium 69 but after several tests it seems like it was in fact based on Chromium 69 which has been somehow backported to Windows XP and probably even Vista too.
The one thing that really bothers me to say the least is the fact that it is developed by a chinese company. Can I trust it?
Also, if they did actually get Chromium 69 completely working on Windows XP, isn't it possible for someone to maybe backport the original Chrome 69 browser too? 
Here's why I do believe that it is in fact based on Chromium 69:
- According to HTML5test the last official Chrome for XP gets the score of "489" while Chrome 360 gets the score of "528" which is a score that I have never seen on any other XP browser before.

This one might not be as a solid of a proof as it is just the user agent but WhatIsMyBrowser.com reports that it is in fact Chrome 69 running on Windows Server 2003 (XP x64)
So what are your thoughts on this guys? I am really confused whether I should just keep using it as it seems to be a much newer version of Chromium than any other browser on XP but is it actually safe?
In case someone wants to try it on their own:

EDIT:
So, I've been using it for a few weeks by now and to be honest, I am astonished! It seems to be much faster than Chrome 49, it is based on newer Chromium, there aren't any websites having trouble to load and on top of that it seems very reliable. Haven't had absolutely no problems with it.
I do actually recommend it as a main browser now as it is based on newer Chromium which is in fact much safer than the other older browsers.
