He might be rebasing his build on top of Supermium now as Chromium updates every 5 minutes and keeping up with it must be crazy and that was probably the most efficient way to catch up and it presented the opportunity to make a build that runs on XP. Still, are there any other Chromium builds with that specific patchset? They do make it a unique build.

Utilizing Spt & NM approximately 50% for (pre-)listening & collecting music, i do share your disappointment - but not the frustration: i stopped using YT completely (access only directly via youtube-dl), no more soundcloud, never a need for spotify at all, discogs only with noscript activated (works passibly): All albums & tracks i purchase at bandcamp (with nice pre-listening options), directly by the artists or (smaller) labels. By my guess, 99 % of the serious contemporary artists offer their work here (at least in my lucky case ).

Stop threatening MSFN members. If you are so disgusted by the collective decision of the Reddit's highly respected community to officially label it as "child pornography distribution", if you don't agree with the results of the investigation, just ignore those posts. And this matter is directly related to the compromised security of that browser and safety of MSFN members, consequently - it's not off-topic.

Ethical reasons, also.

I'd suggest to avoid this "browser" at all costs, simply to skip any potential problems with the police. Already discussed here, in the topics below. And since it's a Supermium's knock-off, based solely on Supermium, strange you have troubles with Supermium itself. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1263138 https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/18ihls8/dont_use_thorium_browser_if_you_have_it_installed/

... I totally agree with you on this ; but you didn't have to convince me in the first place ... However, try to preach to the number of members here who are (still) under the impression that using a content blocker (such as uBO) will "significantly slow down" their browsing experience on their antiquated H/W ... Yes, uBO does consume a slight RAM portion to do its job, but if you're very low on RAM (< 512MB), you probably shouldn't face the current web with that machine of yours ...

New Moon 28 is the browser I mainly use from @roytam1's releases. Many websites can be loaded without serious problems. But of course, there are bloated and cumbersome sites which are loading terribly. However, some of them can be edited with the help of uBlock Origin so that they run reasonably well again. For example, you can neuter the GMX homepage and completely remove all the news, adverts, videos and so on. Or use the right filter lists to access news pages like The New York Times again. On PCWelt, around 1000 elements are blocked with my activated filter lists and runs super smoothly again. However, without uBO, it would make no sense to access such websites on older machines.

I've noticed this too, however I'm not sure if it's really worth it. This procedure will indeed reduce its size at first, but it will very soon increase back to its usual, larger size which in my case is around 80MB. Not sure how soon that is, but it usually doesn't take more than a day.

If you compare the behaviour of the legacy extension with the webextension, you should only use the same filter lists in both. And you also have to look at which filter lists you combine with each other in order to achieve an optimum result. But one thing is clear. The legacy extension lags almost 6 years behind the webextension in terms of development. This means that the latter uses a much more advanced filter engine than the legacy version.

Subject: uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 Homepage/support link of the BPCF filter list changed via auto-update. The former GitLab link has of course become obsolete, too. Forgot to change it! Offline change in next version. And don't forget getting and applying the update immediately can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now"! Then reload the dashboard page! Greetings, AstroSkipper

These sites are real pigs: YouTube, HDtracks and new Discogs (contains a mandatory YouTube window). Discogs announced with great fanfare how the dynamically loaded discography list would deliver an improvement in speed. What I used in the past to disable the embedded YouTube doesn't work anymore. Listening to 10x transcoded music is the last thing I want to do. New Moon is sitting with memory use oscillating between 1 gig and 2.5 gigs. I didn't think it could go over 2 gigs in 32-bit but apparently it can do large address. Nothing we can do about it I guess, but I want to express my frustration and disappointment. https://i.imgur.com/cnFBsY0.png

I already created a page on Codeberg but not on GitHub, although I have an account there, too. From this Codeberg page, all users of my mod uBlock Origin Legacy get the updated assets.json file automatically and only in the previous version additionally an important filter list but nothing else. TBH, I am an individualist and generally do things the way I want to do them. Sorry for that!

Unfortunately, I can't say anything about DuckDuckGo. I do not use it, not even in Mypal 68. But just for testing purpose, I will try to load pictures from this search engine next time.

Personally I wouldn't use Thorium. As has been said, it's just a ripped-off clone of Superium re-badged as far as I can see. And that's disregarding any moral reasons not to use it based on the accusations levelled at its 'creator'. Please keep any discussions about it here purely on a technical level though, or this thread will be closed. Thank you.

More clones have been announced. So, we will see what happens. If so, I will add alternative download links to ensure that the list can be updated in any case.

A round of cheering! Thank you! These noop things have been driving me crazy.

If I have understood you correctly now, then the logger of uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.3x does not show these noop things because in the these versions (before 1.16.6b1) the function "redirect-rule=" is not implemented and therefore can't be logged but only "redirect=". Right?

You only need to post 1 answer and wait for another player to respond. Otherwise it's cheating,,,

Well all my operating systems are on 'bare metal' and I hope they always will be! I didn't actually import my 360Chrome profile into Thorium. I imported it into Supermium, and then imported the Supermium profile into Thorium! As Thorium and Supermium are so similar, I thought that was the best way to do it. I can't think of any reason why a 360Chrome profile wouldn't work directly in Thorium though.

I was on 'bare metal' XP until only just about a month and a half or so ago. I gave up on XP. I felt like a dog chasing a flea on the tip of my tail, constantly running in circles and never catching that flea. The last straw for me was my checking account web site would no longer run on XP + 360Chrome.

OK, I'm giving Thorium 122.0.6261.158 a try on 32 bit XP. I still managed to crash an Instagram tab with an 'out of memory' message, but it was a great deal more difficult to do it with Thorium than it is with Supermium! What seems to happen with Thorium is that as I scroll, the memory use does spiral up, but it gets to a certain point and then drops back again. I can scroll for a long time, and it keeps doing that, but eventually it does crash out. This is unlikely to happen in normal use though I would have thought. With Supermium, the memory just keeps going up, and it crashes relatively quickly. In most other respects the browsers seem to be pretty similar, although on one website I use regularly Thorium does not seem to be loading the web fonts, so the displayed font on the page is wrong. With Supermium, it's fine. Maybe a setting in Thorium? I will have to investigate.

In case anyone has trouble reading through this thread, I can provide this bit of information. Using Dell Optiplex 9020, the LAN HwID is VEN_8086&DEV_153A The driver located in ProEMbSw11.exe in the PRO1000\WinXP Related\PCIe works just using manual update through Device Manager without having to do any file modification. Fortunately, it appears this file is in Archive from when it used to exist on Intel's website: https://web.archive.org/web/20181201110458/http://downloadmirror.intel.com/22928/eng/PROEmbSw11.exe

The problem with the ublock0.sqlite file is the loading of big filter lists. If you then disable these lists at a certain time, they are not actually removed from the ublock0.sqlite file. As a result, this file continues to expand, even though the filter lists responsible for that have not been used any longer.

And now a tip for maintaining your uBlock Origin installation. If you enable and disable or add and delete filter lists more frequently, especially the big ones, your ublock0.sqlite file in your profile subfolder extension-data will become bloated. From time to time, I therefore recommend to backup all your settings. close your browser, delete the ublock0.sqlite file, restart the browser and restore your settings from your backup file. And there is a reason for my recommendation. Although only recently installed, this file ublock0.sqlite has swollen to 60 MB in my installation of uBO. After my maintenance, it shrunk to 30 MB with the same settings. 50% less! And the smaller this file, the better. Less RAM consumption, better performance. But one thing is of course clear. Sooner or later, this file will become bloated again. That's why I said that this file should be maintained from time to time, especially to get rid of outdated content. Cheers, AstroSkipper

We'd like to see some hard proof of that. Like @NotHereToPlayGames always puts it - "gut feeling doesn't count".

I have ran (in VM only) some Thorium releases in the past. LONG before Supermium was ever a thing! I did find Thorium to be STABLE. Even with only 2GB RAM allocated to the VM. Like it or not, Supermium is simply NOT THERE -- *yet* I personally don't mind, in the least, viewing Thorium EXACTLY as we did 360Chrome "in the days of forgotten lore". Nobody trusted 360Chrome in the beginning either. It was MSFN Members that evolved it into something we were comfortable with. Logging its every connection, hex editing .dll's, customizing GUI, et cetera. Nothing wrong, in the least, with doing the same to Thorium... And Supermium... Show a screen cap of Thorium making a questionable connection. The "throw granny from the cliffs" scare tactic approach isn't doing anybody any good.

Let's employ some Aristotelian logic in the form syllogism: Premise: 1) Supermium has memory leaks on XP 2) Supermium crashes on XP 3) Thorium is completely stable on XP Conclusion: Thorium is different from Supermium. I don't know what he's doing differently, but whatever it is that he's doing, the result is a product that I can actually use... MyPal and Supermium are nice, but for now, the only stable browsers in my opinion with any degree of functionality in XP are Thorium , 360Chrome, and Serpent (and perhaps possibly other @roytam1 browsers I've not looked into). Yes, MyPal works in theory, but has nowhere near the degree of stability of FF52-based Serpent when hardware acceleration is enabled. 360Chrome was my daily driver for a while, but it is no longer being updated and it was rough around the edges. I've had the same instance of Thorium running on XP with no stability issues at all. It's not perfect, it won't work with certain sites, but it's an excellent daily driver for an XP machine, the best out there right now.

Yes it is. That's what "Alex F." (Thorium) wrote at his official github page. Not long after "Alex F." edited his profile and changed location from Russia to US. "I just tweak a few things, and do the necessary steps to remove Supermium branding..." He didn't, the maker himself did. Familiarize yourself with his statement. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/363#issuecomment-1998666719

But you can't call it a clone either, for example Thorium has support for h265 and JpegXL. It may be useful for some people.

Yes, I can also confirm this. But Thorium had been stuck with a very old, obsolete Chromium version which was officially supported on Windows 8, my OS at that time. Thorium couldn't move forward without Supermium, even one step. Folks on guthub had their fingertips worn off with questions about new version of Thorium, when it finally arrives, yet there was none, all until Supermium 119 or 120 arrived.

It's possible, but it can be verified. Open the website: https://emojikeyboard.top/ If the Noto font is not installed or does not work, you will see this: But if it is working, it will be like this: If Noto works, then maybe your site needs a different font, or there is some other problem.

I can tell you that from my experience, the "disappearing fonts" in 360Chrome were *always* when the font-size .css attribute was in *em* units instead of something like *px*. This also is true of your Pale Moon forum "Register", "Login", and "Unread posts" links, the font-size is in *em*. "Flex containers" also seem to be an issue that also causes "disappearing fonts" in XP. At the time, I used a Tampermonkey script to convert any-and-all *em* font-size's to *px* and I never encountered any "disappearing font" afterwards.

Image saving problems were already reported in Mypal 68's issues: https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/273 Personally, I never tried to save images using Mypal 68.13.9b but I will try to do so when I'm back at my desktop computer. I was just saving some JPEG images from Google. No problems here. Anyway! You should provide some links where saving of images doesn't work for you. Then, we can see whether there is a problem or not.

Update notification! - uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35 - Special mod by @AstroSkipper I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35. As already described, you can install this version over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher). The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! I changed the link of an important filter list to get the most recent version. More details can be found in the changelog. in my main article, and of course the download link. Cheers, AstroSkipper

But now it's over. Stop this kind of multiple attacks! You seem to enjoy twisting the words and statements of others as it also can be read from you in other threads, though. There is no rule that I have laid down. Stop spreading such untruths! I am very polite by nature, but I can be different if required. So, first read, then think and maybe then write something would be more advisable!

I am constantly helping others here on MSFN, but on topic. Just have a look at my multiple threads if you feel like! So, the imperative you used is inappropriate and irrelevant.

And you're welcome!

You'd have to set that setting in the older version as well if you wanted the exact same behavior in that regard. Redirection concept was introduced in version 1.4.0. "uBlock filters – Ads" filter list for instance has more filters using "redirect-rule" rather than "redirect". "redirect-rule" by itself doesn't do anything, it's only effective in combination with another blocking filter, that's the difference between the two. Now, I have checked my version using the uBO logger. In the testing profile where I have installed uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.34 with the same filter lists enabled as in your version 1.16.6b1, I can't identify any entries about noop.txt or noop.js when calling up the Ad Blocker Test site, although the preference ignoreRedirectFilters is definitely set there to false. So, I assume it must have to do something with your recent changes related to the implementation of the "redirect-rule" network filter option https://github.com/UCyborg/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/commit/02795267a3ecc24b46df2c563ea55d102397af09. Hope this information is useful for you.
