If you're talking about X-Chromium, version 49.0.2605.0 rev16 is the last to run on XP. But of course such a version makes no sense at all, as it is far too old. Besides, in this age category, Advanced Chrome Custom Build 54.20.6530.0 is by far the very best.

Huge RAM use by 360Chrome 13.5 here too of course. No surprise to me, but fortunately it's still pretty fast on my system and doesn't seem to cause problems with anything else. With very few exceptions, websites work with it, which is the important thing!

1 - Good. 2 - Even though I'm fine with "dude", some here may literally slay you for calling them dudes, so use it with caution. https://msfn.org/board/topic/183264-dude/ 3- Military training, thanks.

Ah oh...thank you @AstroSkipper! ...but I've the old Windows version, so I fear the old viruses...?

I loved this version and used it as an offline scanner for many years. Unfortunately and sadly, it was abandoned, hasn't got any definition updates for a long time, and logically won't get any more, either.

J'arrive! I'm coming! Volcanic lightning, a rare phenomena in which lightning is generated from volcanic ash particles colliding with each other within the volcanic plume, instead of in a thunderstorm. This event is nicknamed 'Dirty Thunderstorm'. https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsf***ingLit/comments/ym356m/volcanic_lightning_a_rare_phenomena_in_which/

Did it cast you a 'pretty penny'? I have a few pennies that are pretty and shiny. It's a longer story. Oddly enough, I've had various problems with Avast! this year. Will probably write about it at the weekend. Then I will have time for it. One thing I can say: Although I had some concerns about the country of manufacture, WiseVector StopX is a great AV program and requires only few resources in terms of used disk space, RAM usage and CPU load. It's just perfect for an old box like mine! And the software is constantly being developed and maintained, is Windows XP compatible and free of charge. But, you have to configure it very carefully!

@XPerceniol - I've Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scanner free version v1.75.0.1300, use very rarely...

but I consider my dream is very nice, so that's why I share it with you all.

You mention the lizards, to avoid the main subject - miracle of all life?

do you know which version was the last to support XP? thank you in advance

Another browser I have is called X-Chromium. I prefer the Ungoogled but there are probably ways to ungoogle X-Chromium. https://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1082

I read MSFN quite a bit. I used to use Official Pale Moon and dropped it recently and found this forum when searching alternatives.

From what I gather, @msfntor is a highly religious person and lives by the Bible. He doesn't celebrate Halloween, saying it's "satanical", etc. Lizards are missing from his weird dream and this could be seen as somewhat satanic and anti-bible because according to the bible all species should be present 'cause they are all God's creations. I'm not religious, I might be wrong, and I'm not good at reading dreams. I don't know why he asked me. My dreams tend to be more vivid and forecasting, I'd say. So I think it's not a miracle, it's otherwise, it's a sign of disaster - the World without lizards.

Including lizards ?

I was asking this also to myself. ?

Turns out you can use ProxHTTPSProxyMII to be able to make MEGAsync work again. Here's the proof: My proxy settings: And here's MEGAsync window: Edit: I also tested uploading a file:

Looks like something has changed in memory management compared to older Chrome or Chromium versions. Hopefully for the better! Hope dies last!

Black screen only, cause I've stopped the update process, because it got stuck.. No backup. Thank you @AstroSkipper!

DAVE, it looks like it's with extensions enabled, the default should be four instances and about 600MB (approx. 150 each). Still is waaaay too much, compare to any chrome , look at my previous post or the next post.

Hope you've got a backup of this partition for recovering if nothing helps. Try to boot into safe mode to see if it works in this mode. Use chkdsk to look for file system errors. Delete all temporary files before. Try to boot again in normal mode. If booting in normal mode is impossible, go back to a previous, working state by using recovery console. In case of recovery is not possible anymore, you should restore your previous, hopefully existing backup. I know much more possibilities to repair a damaged partition but it is too complicated to describe here, and you need appropriate knowledge to perform such interventions, of course. And truth be told, a black screen never bodes well. In most cases, I got a black screen when there was some hardware defective.

No wonder there's almost non-existent interest in a browser that old. Current Chrome is 109.

You're very welcome ! Someone has a problem with you ? Just call me © . This screenshot I took on my "Emma", the torture PC, I mean the PC for tortures, testings, etc. Emma (2008) has only 8GB of RAM and an ancient GTX 780 Ti with only 3GB of VRAM (a fossil from 2013). And it consumes 560MB with only one empty page and no extensions ! Not to mention I switched off much bloat via flags. I don't have the v. 13.5 installed on my main 32GB PC anymore, but it had even higher RAM consumtion on it. EDIT: Emma name was given to honour mr. Bean and his girlfriend.

Nope

Aside from THIS is how this "argument" started in the first place. I obviously "failed", but the ONLY thing I was TRYING to do is to demonstrate that DcBrowser uses more RAM than 360Chrome. Nobody else seems interested in "that" for some reason. We all know that Chrome variants use a lot of RAM, no new "news" there.

I feel asleep watching a movie on the sofa. Meaning I feel asleep watching the movie, not the movie. Yeah, I woke a bit off-kil·ter; to say the very least. Will catch up in the AM Hope everyone is well and please never feel alone for anybody reading - we're always open 24/7 and the CaFÉ never closes. Hope to start walking again outside and it SO very pretty right now in New England. Be well

I'm also fine if people refer to me as such, but I know some people do take offense. When people do that in public, however, I'm quite suspicious when people go "Yo" or "Dude" or "Bro". Online I'm fine, but I never call others that because I guess I never picked up that lingo even though I can mean a form of bonding. Even worse, is when people call me "Sir" I'm like .... do I *really* look that old. I know its about respect but another man says "You're welcome and have a great day, man" I feel that is right. But, what do I know.

Day 3 without and whilst off to a rough start, I ate lunch and dinner (unusual for me to eat more than 1 meal per day as I'm not that hungry). Mind was a bit off, but improved a little as the day progressed and the guy that took me to the village left and it should be a quiet night with my computers and movies. I hope to test more of the browsers that I'd written off and see if I can make them work with little resources. I know, I find it enjoyable to do things when "they" say you can't. Still having moments of confusion but this is not unusual for me; certainly given the circumstances that my body actually fights ridding itself of poison. I have a VERY addictive personality and I deduce I was preconditioned to this mindset from that way I entered this world. My mother was a heavy drinker and drank and smoked pretty much up until I was born. She always said she felt like a child and she was 'not right' to say the very least and my DD father did the best he could until he no longer could.

And which one should I implement, all 4 variants?

Not using any AV program isn't a good idea, unfortunately. Nowadays, you can't avoid bad code, Drive-by-Download, Drive-by-Infection or malware and so on by using your brain only while surfing the internet. Anyway, I always use an AV program. And also its real-time protection, of course. Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense. And to be fair, Avast! indeed protects the user in any case. I used Avast! Premier for many years without any infection. There are reasons why I changed from Avast! to WiseVector StopX, though. I will write something about it soon.
