@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.

360Chrome starts fastest for me.

hi i have a windows 98 hp dv6725es laptop and i cant seem to find any drivers, could someone help me?

Thorium actually starts relatively fast compared to other Chrome browsers under Windows XP, even on low-performance hardware like mine. Of course, it has first to be configured well.

You have other sites opened in Supermium, this obviously adds performance penalty. Msfn, github and reddit. Esp. githun and reddit are heavy.

@Dave-H, would you be willing to try out --disable-low-res-tiling? --disable-low-res-tiling reduces cpu usage and saves power https://codereview.chromium.org/196473007/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66825943/how-to-reduce-chromedriver-cpu-usage-in-selenium-python

I think that was it, thanks.

Probably you hit the size limit. Try to delete your old attachments. It helped me, I can embed since then.

Is for me too (in XP), both about the same in Vista & 7. BTW, sorry for linking images, can't embed them (images of any size) for some reason.

With our without HPET, yes, a bit faster start, like Dave wrote. But I'm not on a single core. Those on a single core would've seen a faster startup.

It's very strange, it's not related to CSS, nowhere near it. And the author of Thorium suggests that flag himself. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), I can't link to his site because he hosts Windows cr*cks, pirated loaders on it. But I can make a quote, those interested may find themselves. "--disable-highres-timer[1] ## Disables high-resolution timer on Windows."

Could you please add an option to change position of date/time vice versa.

@Dietmar These VIA chipset PCI cards have drivers going back to win3.1. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195952338235

Using --disable-highres-timer did more harm than good on my system. Yes, the browser loaded a bit more quickly, but Instagrm looked a total mess, like the CSS files weren't loaded, and several other sites also produced a mess before rendering properly. I removed the switch pretty quickly! Things don't take very long to load on my system anyway, I think Thorium is noticeably faster than Supermium in that respect.

The most effect of it when you have a motherborad with HPET off.

Your results? I've tested this flag and NONE of the SEVERAL quantifiable measurements (ie, the only real way to truly eliminate Placebo Effect) shows any "considerable" performance difference. Sorry, you have to be a bit patient. I am testing so much and can't say anything qualified about one single flag. Too much flags here and too much other performance settings to identify the effects of a single flag.

Just to revisit DreamMial Pro. Is it still available? And is it free? There seem to be a lot of shadier looking download sites for it, but I'm weary of those. The previous link for the latest version seems to error out on me.
