Support for Supermium in older versions of Android #994

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Android 8.0 is the minimum version Chrome needs to run, but there are still many users with older versions of Android (7.0 Nougat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 5.0 Lollipop and even 4.4 KitKat). Google ended support after Chrome versions 119, 106, 95 and 81 respectively, which was released in 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 reapectively. Many websites have glitches in these older versions of Chrome. At worst sites show unsupported browser prompt or do not work at all.

As of 2024 there are over 3.3 billion Android users worldwide, and around 8% of users (250 million) run Android versions earlier than 8.0.

Describe the solution you'd like Backport Supermium 126 to older Android versions (including API level 19, 4.4 KitKat and later) and add code necessary for support.
