What is it? OldNewExplorer is the Windows 10 (and Windows 8.1, and 8) shell extension / tweaker which can undo "improvements" to file browsing made in newer Windows version. Everything is optional for your liking. - Restore devices / drives grouping Everything is 'Devices and drives'. That's stupid! O-N-E can restore grouping which made sense in Win7/8. - Restore libraries / remove folders Remove all those folders which were unoptionally added into Windows 8.1 This PC folder and put the libraries back to their place, without registry hacking / breaking apps. - Restore command bar / remove Ribbon Because some people consider it an abomination. - Restore details pane at bottom Same reason; reclaim useful horizontal space. - Improve styling Get rid of some Win7 stuff here and there; improve styling with some built-in visual styles. For themers / skinners, O-N-E can help to override a lot of hardcoded styling in Windows 8, maybe even Start screen!

I see, 360Chrome v13.5 always does something different with one empty tab opened. Today, it uses 100 MB and tomorrow, it will use 500 MB. Sorry, no, your facts and values are useless if they only apply in your system. My little proof shows the inadequacy of your statements. And, who cares how much this browser consumes in your system. Much more important is how it behaves in general. By the way, capital letters are always used by those who shout, and there is absolutely no reason for that. It is rather impolite. There is a nice saying in Germany: "Wer schreit, hat Unrecht." Translated: "Who shouts is wrong."

You should try chrome 102 (which I'm currently on) then. It needs a PC with 16GB, at the very least.

I am glad that with 360Crome 13.5, there is a browser in Windows XP that can load many Googlized and heavy web pages the UXP browsers cannot handle in terms of JavaScript & Co. You did a great job in removing telemetry crap and translating Chinese strings in the past. Thanks for that again, @NotHereToPlayGames! Frankly, I hate to bring you down to earth in your praise of 360Crome 13.5. But, I'm a mathematician, I am always trying to find true statements, verifying or falsifying them, and I'm very good in any calculation. In order to disprove your statement, I use the principle of a counter-example. Your statement: I'm showing 360Chrome v13.5 with only the start tab open to consume 126 MB RAM. My assertion: 360Chrome v13.5 with only an empty tab opened consumes more than 450 MB. Proof: I disabled all my extensions in 360Chrome v13.5 and closed all tabs except one empty tab. I restarted the browser. Here is a screenshot while 360Chrome v13.5 is running. Here is a screenshot of CleanMem after closing 360Chrome v13.5: The RAM usage is shown in two different ways, by CleanMem and Process Hacker. My calculation: First method: Determination of RAM consumption by subtracting two RAM consumption values (360Chrome opened and closed) MEM1 = "Memory used while running 360Chrome v13.5" MEM2 = "Memory used after closing 360Chrome v13.5" RAMUSAGE = "RAM usage of 360Chrome v13.5 with all extensions disabled and only one empty tab opened" RAMUSAGE = MEM1 - MEM2 = 990.70 MB - 522.38 MB = 468.32 MB > 450 MB Second method: Determination of RAM consumption by adding all process usage values There are five processes: 360Loader.exe 4.75 MB 360chrome.exe 124.11 MB 360chrome.exe 113.60 MB 360chrome.exe 115.07 MB 360chrome.exe 119.43 MB Total: 476.96 MB > 450 MB Conclusion: With only one empty tab opened and all extensions disabled, your little darling tragically consumes more than 450 MB. Therefore, your statement is wrong, and my assertion is true. q.e.d. Unfortunately, the truth is this browser is a RAM eating machine at its best. If I enable a few extensions and open one or two more tabs, everything gets much worse, RAM consumption increases enormously, and my system is blocked and no longer responds. For users, having a huge amount of RAM in their computers, no problem at all, of course, but for the others ... Truth be told, I don't know where you get your values from, but in any case, they have nothing to do with reality. Such "facts" are meaningless! Sorry to say that! For me, and I speak only for myself here, 360Chrome v13.5 is not really a no-brainer win. But, using this browser with only one tab opened is possible, of course. And no offence, only real facts and the truth! Kind regards, AstroSkipper

Gawd; I've not purchased anything in ages.

I have a decent 2GB memory stick (Crucial) One 500 MG stick is just ok but both are ancient.

I don't use "Real-Time" - rather only for on demand scanning. Never used Avast or AVG

I only changed the memory sticks I have found.. for free...so I've 3071 MB and it's not better...

- enough of rain. It doesn't matter, I manage by not buying anymore. - she is the one who buys, my wife...

I didn't buy any new hardware in decades !!! Except for HDDs , maybe. I'm not rich, also I have no need for that. The last purchase was a 2015 year videocard I bought dirty and used was for 40 Euro or so . Yes , I know it was like 1000 Euro in 2015 (this fossil called GTX Titan X). But then again, our prices went down when the russkie dealers of used hardware had to leave (which is so cool !!). Before it would be like 100-150 Euro or so.

Did stumble into this -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeFFyg3ZJow I would recognize it blindfolded, I skipped around and only played snippets, but make no mistake, that is "my" version of 360Chrome with the XP Theme and the fixed status bar icons.

You're welcome ! What I meant is that we distract you from resting . And also I didn't want to overcrowd you . I'm so glad you're better ! Cough is nasty, You have to drink lots of water (not tea) to get rid of toxins . It always helped me . Also, add lemon or lime juice.

The path that works for me is: ftp://ftp.dyu.edu.tw/pub/Hardware/vendor/Diamond/display/fire-gl/fire-gl-1000-pro/b1kp154.exe (206 KiB file...)

MiniBrowser is based on Chrome 87 so it is one version "newer" but with only the start tab open, I'm showing it to consume 214 MB RAM. 360Chrome v13.5 seems like a no-brainer WIN to me

OMG ... So cute.

No such thing as accidents that we all met up here together. You're welcome; of course.

Will start to replace With a healthy suppliment of B Complex with the focus on Vit B6. This helps some to taper off such meds. Under normal circumstances, these meds help many, but not THIS (addictive) personality. I have strong history but am back to square 1 and on 1 AD and The GABA. Unfortunately. I'm on Haldol and will have to get the poision out of my body. Sorry about grammer errors.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/gc3rbagwt99pr/DC_Browser_Modified_Version I use both this version and the previous. The good thing is, you can change between a nice light and dark theme without changing skin.

Thanks! I will do my best! But life has its own rules!

Never, of course! And I hope it will always stay that way!

I hope you fell better soon, @AstroSkipper

It's currently Work in Progress, but yes, there will be Chinese don't worry !

my ArcticFox 40 build is a "normal" build so it requires SSE2 my Firefox 28 build is plain VC2005 build so it doesn't require SSE/SSE2. my RetroZilla 2.2 is plain VC6 build so it doesn't require SSE/SSE2. my Palefill Polyfill 1.23 mod changes only install.rdf to allow SP55 to install. and the question of replacing GHLpf 1.2.19.3 is a "no", but I don't have decent idea on updating GHLpf for now.

No, there are still problems, like the update descriptions in the Update History, or the torubleshooter. But we're about to finish that, thanks to @WinFX. V4 has sadly nothing new, and the getmanifest.asp problem is a very big problem... Btw, @maile3241 and @ByQuadCore are working on how to use Windows Update v5 / v6 with the client.asmx from WSUS. I am personally working on all WU versions. FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP RESTORING THESE OLD VERSIONS OF WINDOWS UPDATE: I will release Windows Update v5 in a zip as soon as it is fully restored. If you want more information, send me a Private Message (if it cannot fit in this topic).

Congrats! Glad it works for you!
