Catsxp 5.7.3 is a Chinese desktop web browser powered by Chromium 138.0.7204.101, designed with an emphasis on privacy, simplicity, and responsive performance. Version 5.7.3 was released on July 10, 2025 and continues to support Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit), ensuring legacy systems retain access to an up‑to‑date Chromium build . The homepage of Catsxp describes it as a "chrome kernel enhanced browser aiming at simplicity and security"—built around minimalism while including built‑in ad‑blocking, tracking prevention, and automatic updates that synchronise to the latest stable version of the Chromium base without requiring manual installation.
Development and community feedback reveal that Catsxp is frequently updated and maintains close alignment with Chromium’s rapid release cycle. Despite its official support for Windows 7+, some users report occasional display issues on Windows 7 32‑bit systems—though recent beta variants appear to have addressed some of these concerns in preparation for or within version 5.7.3 itself . Feature highlights include gesture controls, super drag-and-drop, privacy “Shields” similar to Brave’s ad‑tracking blocks, an advanced new‑tab dashboard showing blocked items and bandwidth savings, and full compatibility with Chrome extensions—all within a light footprint ideal for older hardware
