Yes I looked in the language file, it's not there, it must be somewhere else, but where ?

I haven’t posted in years. Found this thread from Slashdot. Just wanted to swing through and say how awesome this is.

I realise I'm very late and you've already solved it, but someone on vogons found this nugget of info: https://www.geoffchappell.com/studies/windows/km/cpu/cx8.htm Specifically : "In the early days of Windows NT, however, not all the extant processors implemented the cmpxchg8b instruction. In versions before 5.1, every function that uses the instruction has an alternate coding for processors that do not support the instruction. Very early during its initialisation, the kernel checks whether the boot processor supports the cmpxchg8b instruction. If the support is missing, the kernel patches jmp instructions at the start of each of those functions to redirect execution to their alternates. Conversely, if the boot processor does support the instruction, and the functions are left unpatched, then the kernel requires that all processors support the instruction, under pain of the bug check"

No, it's not. The poll is completely unrelated to the title and top post and should be removed or moved to a separate thread.

No, I don't. Policies are a moot point, they change in the upstream way faster than flags, they reset when you update the core, they reset with a new profile. They reset each time you move the browser onto another PC (like passwords, cookies, etc).

It will still be very niche. People want clean and simple OS out-of-the-box, without the need for third party tools.

Me neither, sorry, no review. You wanted to write "goof"?

I was only referring to the particular browsers I mentioned, not knock-offs in general. It's clearly indicated in the topic title.

... It's no longer publicly available ; 't was shared with Dave by the Thorium maintainer himself, as a test build, for Dave to test whether one of the issues he was facing had been cured by that specific Thorium build ; the download link to that test build (inside a GitHub issue tracker comment) has now expired...

Hi, is there any current anti virus software with updated signatures that run either on vanilla 2000, 2000 sp4, sp5 or the current kernel ex? I currently try to get clamav working on a hp vectra VL400 with pentium III at 733 MHz, unfortunately with a spinning hard disk and only 256 MiB RAM. I guess, using a SSD for pagefile.sys is highly recommended. It took >6h and >1500 MiB virtual Memory to just load the signature database. Also it's known for false positive and eventually not very high recognition rates too. EDIT: Okay, just found out, that the CPU only got SSE but no SSE2

Thorium 122.0.6261.171? Where is such a version available?

I'm using the SSE4 version of Thorium 122.0.6261.171, so maybe that's the reason that we're not seeing the same thing.

In Thorium SSE2 122.0.6261.168 WINXP x32 under Windows XP, there is no update button on an extension page when an update is available. Updates of extensions are not shown on extension pages, and a manual update does not work. That's why I installed the Chromium Web Store. I added one flag, switched an internal flag and now, updating works. PS: On an extension page, I can only see an Add or, if the extension has already been installed via the Chrome Web Store, an Remove button but never an Update button.

Strange, the general text is the same in English. Formatting is slightly different though. Perhaps a translation string needs to be updated for SAB.

This will derail the thread, but my Dell Inspiron 600M has a broken EIDE adapter, so I can't boot from an internal hard drive. I can theoretically boot from a USB storage device, but the only success I've had with that is configuring a flash drive to work as a bootable startup disk, and installing Windows 95. The problem with that is none of the hardware drivers work with Windows 95, the oldest OS it will work with is Windows 98 (possibly 98 SE). The default operating systems were Windows 2000 or XP. The computer could also run Windows Vista or 7, but I rather not try to do that. For my use case, the best operating system to use is Windows 2000, with XP being a close 2nd. My task presently is getting either Windows 2000 or XP booting from a USB storage device.

And I tried to port Firefox 3.0.19 to Visual C++ 5.0 SP3 with the Windows Server 2003 R2 SDK, and failed because of browser/app/Makefile.in using wmain, which as is, Visual C++ 5.0 SP3 sees as an unresolved external. I also couldn't figure out how to make Visual C++ 5.0 SP3 accept Mozilla's places implementation, so I tried to use Mozilla's browser/bookmarks, and history code without success because it broke most browser functionality, such as typing URLs. More recently, I'm starting to try porting Mozilla bug 317375 to RetroZilla.

Ah, right. FWIW, when I click the update button on the extensions page on my Thorium, it does say that it's updating. Whether it actually is updating is another matter of course, but there's no error messages.

No. It is the Chromium Web Store extension in the latest version 1.5.4.2 from here: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store

It looks like this for me:

Is that the Web Store 0.2 extension? That has always been there on my installation of Thorium, I've never installed it myself. I always assumed it was bundled with Thorium as standard. It doesn't seem to be possible to disable it (the switch is greyed out).
