@Damnation May be, that IDE works, but I need for XP the boot Rom. Just now I order from ebay a card Dawicontrol DC-150, which has an own Bios Rom. https://www.ebay.de/itm/404890659301 On next weekend I make also a try with flashing another Bios to the Shuttle Hot 433 board, because my intuition tells me, that it is not normal that ALL PCI cards fail Dietmar EDIT: I found the driver together with the Bios for this card. nr for the NON-Raid version. Because in description they wrote, that driver and Bios from this card have to match. With my EEprom writer TL866 II plus it is easy for this Bios chip. dc150_nr.zip https://ufile.io/v3omq3sk

I didn't download it from the r3dfox repo which doesn't store the 121 version anyway

Using Thorium_SSE4_122.0.6261.168_WINXP_x64.zip for XP x64, Vista & 7 (multiboot, so literally the same copy). Will try Thorium_AVX2_123.0.6312.133.zip in Vista 64 & post results in a few. UPDATE: tried AVX2 (this box is 4770k), AVX & even SSE3 flavors on W7, all from https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases. Each one gives me the "not a valid win32 app" error. AVX2 flavor performs roughly the same on W10: 144, 156, 145 The weird thing is on W10, the XP/legacy version (Thorium_SSE4_122.0.6261.168_WINXP_x64.zip) benches better (196, 200, 204) than the AVX2 version meant for Win10. In Vista extended kernel (Nov. 2022), i get

@Dietmar The one I linked does, maybe try that?

Read the first post.

how do I know the source of the FF fork (121) I'm using ? I downloaded it from a github repo some months ago but just can't remember the original link

what version are you using SSE or AVX ?

@Damnation I tested this card only for to boot XP SP3 on this 486 board Shuttle Hot 433, and there also no IDE Dietmar

@roytam1 Now I have the perfect excuse to request you upload a copy of Firefox 1.5.0.12 (Mozilla 1.8.0.12) source code. Personally I prefer Firefox 1.5 over 2.0 because it is more lightweight, and it should ironically be easier to fork than 2.0. I still want Gecko 1.9.x building with Visual C++ 6.0 SP5 (really Visual C++ 5.0 SP3), but this is a great start. I tried using Visual C++ 5.0 SP3 on my RetroZilla fork, but it crashes while trying to display pictures. https://codeberg.org/Nicholas_McAnespy/FxVC5Mods

@Dietmar Does IDE work at least?

Until now, I couldn't observe such crashes here in my Thorium testing installation.

Thanks but I already know that all. I was one of the first to be involved in testing that re-basing when @UCyborg suggested this method for Chrome360 after my observations in terms of its enormous RAM usage on my old Windows XP computer. The good is that Thorium is configured perfectly when it comes to RAM consumption.

I still get out of memory crashes on tabs with Thorium, but it's nowhere near as bad as Supermium was. Supermium may have improved in that respect of course, I haven't yet updated from version 122.0.6261.85. My 360Chome (13.5.2036.0) does use a rebased chrome.dll of course.

Yeah when I tested 24H2 briefly on my main machine control center was overhauled but borked. Leave it to the world class engineers at Microsoft. I wish they'd get back to the way they were in the 90s and 2000s.

@Damnation I have this card. No Rom, no boot message, just nothing on the Shuttle Hot 433 board for 486 cpu Dietmar PS: May be this happens, because no Bios Sata driver is integrated in the Bios from that Shuttle board.

@Dietmar I'm not sure how to tell if it has a boot ROM or not.

it's rebased by default https://msfn.org/board/topic/184515-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1351030-rebuild-8/?do=findComment&comment=1242048

gut feeling @NotHereToPlayGames

Both browsers do feel pretty similar. Got profile from Firefox loaded in portable r3dfox. I was wrong about font gamma, gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.gamma actually works in both browsers. Uncommenting CSS code meant to restore Aero glass effect in various parts of Firefox UI on newer Windows breaks UI of vanilla Firefox while it doesn't seem to do anything in r3dfox, so I can only get glassy title bar (native title bar is enableable in the browser out-of-box), but no glass effect beyond that. I do use DWMBlurGlass, which works pretty well. Language packs for Firefox also work in r3dfox. Edit: About ClearType parameters, they don't seem to behave exactly like in Pale Moon, maybe some are ignored or not as granular, somehow I can get noticeably bolder fonts, but can't find the sweet spot. Or maybe I'm seeing it wrong. It's strange, especially if they're supposed to be parameters that are passed to DirectWrite, so if both applications take the same parameters, the output should be identical. Think I'll just leave it before I make it worse.

@Damnation Thanks for help, but I think, those cards to not have a boot Rom Dietmar

Hi to all,guys for better performance checks you should use the browser development tools. Also it would be interesting to try at least the Medium Mode in uBlock Origin: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode That reduces CPU and speeds up in web page loading. P.S. Those who do not want to try the Medium Mode could try this rule that blocks risky third-party content that does not come from the most used top-level domains. The more domains you enter in "denyallow," the greater your use of UBO in Easy Mode will be: |HTTPS://*$third-party,script,websocket,object,ping,subdocument,denyallow=your country|eu|app|com|edu|io|net|org|tv|inf|ms

On my system, the 360Chrome 11.0.2031 worked really well. The version 13.5.1030 rebuild 7 worked relatively well but only when the chrome.dll was rebased. The site loading times were much worse than in version 11.0.2031. In contrast, Thorium doesn't need to be re-based by the user and consumes much less RAM than normal Chrome versions. The standard loading behaviour is an other history, unfortunately. However, this browser was never made for my old system, either. But as I already mentioned, I found a convenient way for me to let websites loading much faster. More about this soon!

Doesn't seem to. Just retested three times with just one tab: 136, 125, 131. Then again, not really a night-and-day difference between the two, can't notice it outside benchmarks.
