I thought when you post in this thread anyways, you also would surely use Supermium. BTW, Thorium has this flag, too. Yep! I already knew.

You can use the flag #disable-search-engine-collection if existent.

It is not really a necessary feature. You can change that in a very simple way inside your OS. Even by using a third party tool. Anyway! In general, New Moon 28 and Serpent 52 will get what has been developed for Pale Moon and Basilisk.

The --close-window-with-last-tab=never switch has now been added to Supermium. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v122-r4 Everything works great!

I think you posted in the wrong thread. This is about @roytam1's browsers and not Supermium. There are no Chrome processes here, fortunately.

Probably @Cixert assumed, and rightfully so, the double engine of 360 Explorer or something similar would be implemented in Supermium, too.

Supermium is the same as usual Chrome, but with tweaks to make it work on old OS. GDI rendering instead of Dwrite for XP, rewritten memory functioning. Supermium understands Chrome flags. Some flags added, some removed. All of the usual connections to Google servers are present.

No worries, please take your time! Studies are more important, and thanks for getting back at me.

With or without sandbox? I've read it leads to a huge memory leak, like the one on Supermium.

--disable-highres-timer speeds up considerably.

I don't have a way to enlarge .text section. you can do the same as NTDLL.DLL, but you have to remove .rsrc section before adding new section. in PE Explorer, open file and goto Data Directories, and set Resource Table to Zero: to this: then goto section page to uncheck .rsrc section: click Yes to both message boxes, and save. then you can add new section. once you finished rewriting cx8 with codes in your new section, we can add back .rsrc with resource hacker: open modded file, Add from resource file: select original(unmodified) file, check all and overwrite and click File -> Save to save it.+

Hi, In Chromium-based browsers, search engines are added to the list automatically without your consent. So you have to visit and interact on the web page of the search engine you want to add. P.S. I forgot to write that it is of course also possible to add a search engine manually. P.S.1 Deleted unsolicited personal note from the person who asked the question that no one answered before me.

I had the exact same problem on WinXP SP3. I installed the "Segoe UI" fonts from Win10. Problem solved!

Alas

tried to build with VC2010, it builds, but I can't get it work like official 35.0.1.

Thank you, Rob, very much appreciate your insight. Hmmm ... "dark passenger" ... Interesting perspective on this disease when 'help' seems out of reach, good to lift the spirit I think. I always took offense when people would casually say to "cheer up" - rather perk up or lift the spirit is needed and sounds better to the soul. Wishing you well also I hope you will always keep this strength to guide you as nobody would chose such misery upon ourselves. My friend ... we have already pulled off the seemingly impossible and are here to tell about it, others have fallen victim to the daemons and left us <- Not meaning daemons as in religion. You get me though! Thank you again. That being said: I will be taking a very long break from the internet to recover. Must save all energy to focus on self preservation during the next several months and pull life together. MSFN has become a large part of my life but sometime we need breaks - healthy breaks from family as I consider people have like family. When I do return I'll likely have moved to Linux by then so we'll see, I guess. Be well everyone Sincerely Yours Salvatore

I'm not up to arguing (especially when there's no need to). "Microsoft ends Windows 7 security updates | TechCrunch" Windows 7 is a legacy OS. https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/10/microsoft-ends-windows-7-security-updates/

https://msfn.org/board/topic/186133-thorium/?do=findComment&comment=1264771

Everything except new versions of Windows 10/11 is officially "legacy", including, but not limited to, Windows 8.1 and old Windows 10 (like LTSB 2016 version).

Hi, Because the results are still somewhat good, despite the known fact of censorship. What alternatives there are? Miserable. Most of them use Google and/or Yahoo results anyways.

Oh, just found this! It's indeed Google tracking. Someone even asked ChatGPT. "The sca_esv parameter is a piece of data in the URL that's likely internal to Google's system for tracking, sorting, or customizing search results. URL parameters like these are often used for various purposes including analytics, session identification, and to tweak the behaviour of the search. " "Asking ChatGPT to brainstorm what sca and esv could stand for in the context of a Google search:" https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/172215/google-videos-search-sca-esv-query-parameter-possible-tracking

But Firefox and all the forks (to this date) are one of the most notorious trackers, and they are nowhere near Ungoogled. So it just confirms my worries.

I am very satisfied with the efficiency of uBlock Origin Legacy when it comes to filtering and blocking unwanted content. Especially when you consider how old the original extension actually is. However, the decisive factor is the correct configuration and sensible selection of effective filter lists that are still compatible with uBlock Origin Legacy. And of course, the filters and rules you create yourself are also crucial, as they make everything even more interesting and effective. If the user proceeds in this way, then the combination of PBCF filter list and user script is the icing on the cake.

No. It is indeed Thorium trying to connect to this address. To be more precise it is the process thorium.exe. Disabling the flag #media-route-dial-provider seems to be the solution I found by checking all available Thorium flags.

No. It is indeed Thorium trying to connect to this address. To be more precise it is the process thorium.exe.

Can anyone tell me why Thorium is trying to connect via UDP to the address 239.255.255.250 using the port 1900 almost every minute?

As a technically interested person and die-hard Windows XP Professional 32-bit enthusiast , I installed Thorium on my very old and very weak computer for testing purposes only. My hardware and OS specs are: Windows XP Professional SP3 with all updates after SP3 and additionally all POSReady updates, an Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.80 GHz CPU (single core, 32 Bit), 1.5 GB SD-RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphic card. I am using the version Thorium_SSE2_122.0.6261.168_WINXP_x32 in portable mode. Nothing has been installed to avoid any compromising of my system. It was hard to adjust the browser settings and flags to load pages as it actually should be. I am using the extension uBlock Origin as I do in all my browsers to filter and block all crap. However, uBlock Origin had to be exactly adjusted to not interfere negatively the loading of websites. I will test Thorium for a while to see how it behaves on my very weak Windows XP computer. But in any case, I am also interested in experiences from other users with Thorium on old 32-bit computers.

You should use the version Thorium_SSE3_122.0.6261.168_WINXP_x32.zip as your CPU supports the SSE3 instruction set at maximum. You can use the SSE2 version, too but I would try the SSE3 one first.

Personally, I would like to know about experiences of users who have installed Thorium under real (bare metal) Windows XP 32-bit on very weak hardware, especially equipped with a 32-bit (single-core) CPU like, for example, Pentium 4. Which Thorium version has been used? How does this browser behave there? How does the browser start? What does the loading behaviour of websites look like? What about performance and resource consumption in general? And above all, which settings and Chrome flags are used in those installations? It would be great to provide your hardware and OS specs when sharing any experience.

When uBlock Origin is installed, it controls the preloading of websites. You do not have to disable uBlock Origin to control this feature again, you can simply enable the option "Disable pre-fetching" in uBO's dashboard page "Settings" as already mentioned by @Dixel.

No, it uses its own, in addition to the system ones, but the Chinese are of most importance to this browser. Go to chrome://settings/certificate And you will see China issued certificates from 360 original (inner) store. Any more questions?

And don't forget, even if the certificates in its own cert store match yours, you can still see the red flags because its own ones are too old. That browser was released in 2020, we live in 2024.

You're welcome! Then we also have to take into account that the iteration you talk about first came through Russia repackers' hands. As it is based on a repack from Russia.

No fix, as we know. Most importantly, if the system certification path says this certificate is OK, you have nothing to worry about. Ignore.

You are a serial troublemaker,you meddle in all threads to just criticize. And like the fantastic 4 you act in groups for self-satisfaction. You have only 1 quality. You are good at misrepresenting written words. You say that the user you chose to attack wrote something he did not in fact write. I wonder what is the purpose of this? Probably there is a need for psychological help instead of this group self-therapy of yours.

Strange that your other multiple accounts didn't vote on this crappy poll too?

@reboot12 Regarding your solution of always using vga.sys at first deployment, you can also change the service in your video driver by changing the Service string to the name of VgaSave from Vga inside the enum key, to the key that matches that hardware ID of the driver (change permissions in the Enum key to edit the contents inside the Enum key). If the installation of any driver has removed the service needed by that driver (due to inf errors etc), the keys can be added to the key matching your hardware ID (assuming that the service was present but didn't integrate properly in the driver's enumeration entry) to prevent future errors in the respective driver (as you see in your enum key, the keys match the hardware IDs of the driver you're looking for). For example, I use vbemp legacy vga driver (as the VgaSave service instead of the ms vgasave) and it's always loaded on the device manager without errors. I disabled pnp vbemp (to prevent delay at bootscreen) and I used only the non-pnp vbemp driver that is named vga.sys.

This is what I said in my post above, literally, and even attached the signed file. I still think it's some odd behaviour of the programme - since @yoltboy01doesn't get that precise error, and to answer your question, yes they still use those stubs, why wouldn't they? I'll tell even more, there was a patch that ports all win10 UCRT functionality to Vista, so one can simply salvage those stubs from there, just a hint.

Or maybe try this one (digitally signed). Just rename it to api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-2.dll api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-2-0.zip

It'd be very interesting to read your feedback regarding Supermium. You say it's heavy, what's your system? Answer here, please. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/page/

I doubt, it had been discussed about the minimum requirement for 1607, it's most likely there will be missing dependencies, even if you unpack the installer. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185023-future-of-chromium-on-older-windows-10-versions-and-rtm/

Use WSUS Offline 9.25 to download all Vista patches, along with the applicable runtimes for VC++, .NET Framework and DirectX. You can even include MSE (which would work if tricked into thinking it's on W7, 99.9% sure) and Windows Defender definitions. I haven't done much research on either Vista or WSUS, but it does give you the option of creating an ISO or a folder on a USB drive with the updates. Or you can just copy the "client" folder to the Vista machine and run UpdateInstaller.exe. *note: the update files for x64 are ~3.6 GB uncompressed.
