tested vlc again and seems it no longer lags for some reason. I guess 1280x1024 screen resolution was too heavy for in last test. Now got 800x600 as desktop reso and no issues playing same file I am using winamp pro, office 97, filezilla, photoshop, premiere then retrozilla for email and web and lot more I wont list here. Also got tls 1.2 patched netscape but prefer retrozilla since netscape 9 was rebranded firefox 2 (well gecko is from netscape originally). I can listen music, write emails, browse web and write docs same time no issue. Office 97 is very good software despite being old, it is more stable than office 95. Also got adobe premiere and photoshop to edit pictures/videos from my Canon Powershot G6. Imaging works using TWAIN, but TWAIN sucks real bad so I use usb CF card reader for transfer. Also that way can tranfer pics from my Nikon coolpix l29 pocket camera. Funny how 700€ digital camera from 2004 still got better image than some cameras today (3072 x 2304). I actually have maxium amount of ram 815 chipset will detect and it had fastest ram it can do already when got it. Machine was originally custom build ordered from POMI (Pohjanmaan Mikro OY) in 2001. I was used with to make 3d models to cnc and machine and possibly control it so that is why had such beefy specs (Pentium 3 EB 800mhz, Gigabyte GA-60MM7, Nvidia TNT2 M64 32mb, 512mb ram) compared other machines on facility that were mostly Pentiums with 2d video card. I got hands to it when saw it one place and asked if can have it and after they security wiped hdd,I got to keep it. I saved this powerhorse from the being recycled Later on it lifecycle I replaced 20gb hard drive with ssd, swapped it to bigger better airflow chassis, replaced cpu and gpu fans with noctua, added arctic 80mm high pressure fan to intake and 60mm noctua to back to keep it cool also added ESS Solo1 pci sound card for dos support, and replaced dying psu with new seasonic S12II-520. Then got 98lite with Micro shell for maxium performance Been investing lot of money and time to this thing, but all been worth it, I do not see this as waste of money rather investment. Here pics of it and monitor setup (downscaled to vga and gif to save space). Black tower on side is my first pc with Pentium 4 478. I got kvm hooked to them

You did it nicely, but my point is that after hovering over the start there is a dark gray color

@SamirD, SPEED-BATTLE and LiteBrite are my favorites (by far) of your suggestions. Thank you!

Bye, bye, GomPlayer! It flew off my hard drive last week. The old VLC 0.8.6 uses more codecs it feels like. And it plays DVDs so nicely. Unfortuneatly some DVDs have a bigger capacity with a higher resolution, so that they are too much for the old computer. Animes are better too, as they don't look too different when skipping frames. Windows 98 and multitasking... of course it isn't perfect, but if the programs in use are good ones, nothing holds you back from opening Winmap 2.95 for listening to music, a photo editor (PhotoImpact for example), a couple of folders, Word 97 or Notepad++, WinSCP for making FTP connections and a web browser like Netscape at the same time! The old Winamp is the most important program in that heap, because before that I used something called "ProFiler" for listening to music. That program was capable of much more, but was truly inefficent for listening to music... For a good performance, don't mind maximising your RAM, too. Old SDRAM is at the absolute low-point of price now. I optimised my setup, put in only the best RAM that I had (and that the mainboard supports), and got like a 8% speed boost in compiling my programming scripts.

Cool! That works to return the "Add to" button and the Google cookie deletes like it is supposed to when settings say to delete on exit.

I noticed that too, I made a fixed version of the start button a couple days ago. You can download it here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/qj6ey33bayme7/unnamed

HOLY COW! I found a way to bypass it! proof: https://prnt.sc/1tdlc6c

... I'm not following closely the developments in this thread (am notified via e-mails, though ), but are you people here aware of https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store ? It is supposed to re-enable CWS functionality in Ungoogled-Chromium, perhaps it can also be used in your "ungoogled" 360EE flavours?

If you have a legit reason for having two, that is one thing, I'm not trying to tell you how to run your own computer. Generally speaking though, it's not really a good idea to have two antivurus programs installed, two popup blockers installed, two script-blockers installed, et cetera. <off topic> Reminds me of my college days. I was not the party-type but some of my friends were. One of my friends would brag to anybody and everybody that he "double wrapped it" for "extra protection". He was the FIRST person that semester to impregnate his girlfriend - despite us all telling him that you DO NOT WEAR TWO!

Yes, I also experienced the joys of GreenBrowser, it was a long time ago... it was an excellent and innovative browser! But now my screen has gone green, greenish... it's my monitor that is sick again! - well, I'll remove this second popup blocker, just to make you happy, haha

Why TWO extensions just to block popups? Is that an XP x86 SP2 thing? Are popups that bad on x86 SP2? I swear on all four grandparents' graves (make that five, my dad's mom passed away when I was 3 and grandpa remarried), I haven't seen a popup in over twenty years and I don't have any popup-blocker extensions and I don't even use 360Chrome's built-in setting to "disable popups". Okay, okay, TWENTY years might be a SLIGHT exaggeration. I did just track down one of my installation discs from 2004 (seventeen years ago) where my default browser was GreenBrowser coupled with Proxomitron. The author of Proxomitron passed away in 2004 and I used it long before 2004, I just can't find physical proof via installation media. GreenBrowser used to basically compete with Maxthon and Sleipnir. I went back and forth between Sleipnir and GreenBrowser as my default back then. They were basically "frontends" to Internet Explorer. It gave me TABBED BROWSING long before IE ever introduced it. The company I worked for at the time was hit with a virus that Firefox spread throughout the company network (circa 2006 to 2010, don't recall exactly). My GreenBrowser coupled with Proxomitron - my computer was the only computer in the company (200+ computers spanning 6 midwest facilities) that was NOT hit with the virus [production-level, excluding management and "big whigs").

<OT> Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm sooo NOT kidding - I (actually) still use Winamp [to this very day] as I enjoy the speed/temp *Fourier* control plugin. I know ( I know ) there are/were other (better) players, but I got attached to it and carried it along throughout the years even though I rarely change the speed/temp of music anymore Will check in tomorrow for updates to the browser builds - good luck!

360Chrome latest 12 1247 r 5 and 13 2206 r 4 from @ArcticFoxie and 13 2250 M from Humming Owl: After creating each new tab, have popup from Popup Blocker (Lite): "Popup is NOT closed! reason: tab URL is not valid" If click Property (of page), I see Address: chrome://newtab/ - that I've in Settings/Basics: under notched: "Open a specific page or set of pages:" - and this same popup if I change Address here to about:blank ... Does NOT have this problem in 12 1592 M from Humming Owl.

Will try the suggestions discussed in that link over the weekend or so. Found a Google "feature" that has been present since Chrome 69 buried in 360Chrome v11, v12, and v13 that I have fixed in v12 and need to port the fixes and a few cosmetic changes since last upload all to v11 and v13. Once I upload newest v11, v12, and v13 rebuilds, I can then focus a little more on XP x86 SP2. I admit that I am quite interested in comparing my own builds to Humming Owl's builds in XP x86 SP2 - I'm not trying to "compete", just always trying to "improve".

Good deal. I'm going to remove the fake User Agent for my next rebuilds. People that do need them for specific needs generally know how to fake them.

Thanks ..it works

That is a side effect to faking a User Agent. Open the 360Loader.ini file and remove the --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/93.0.4577.82 Safari/537.36" (include the space before the first dash) at the end of the Parameters line. Save the file then close and restart 360Chrome. But now your YouTube will max out at 1080p max resolution so you have to decide which is more important to you.

Cool! XP in React -- Haven't seen Winamp in years. 93 -- Star Wars avi - hilarious!

@ArcticFoxie, if you would like, in your special machine, old dusty Compaq Presario, to migrate to some extremely easily downloadable Windows, would you like to test (or rediscover) Windows XP, 95 ... ?
