Yes, the page above is the official Supermium website. And the account was flagged for "spamming". as I found out when trying to export the repository directly from GitHub to GitLab. The repositories were not deleted, but they are hidden from public view along with my account itself. At the time of this incident, I had built Chromium 124-based Supermium and it worked on XP (x86 and x64). But I still had a few deficiencies to correct before even a pre-release, specifically graphical glitches with GPU enabled, some upstream UI bugs, plus other outstanding bugs reported recently. Other features such as a UA/UACH spoofer and UI customization were being worked on as well. I reiterate that there is no malware in Supermium, progwrp, its installer and its uninstaller.

The win32ss account on GitHub was flagged for an unspecified reason. I am going through the appeal process to restore it, but I will make sure the repository surfaces somewhere else such as GitLab even if GitHub does accept the appeal.

There were reports of the same (or similar) malware before, in this topic. So, looks like it's not only in Win 10 versions. I remember, I suggested to simply delete that file. So, apparently, they read my advice and moved that malware into another *.exe file.

Good for you! For me ... well, it kinda sucks, almost all extensions I used were free, but now are paid with the Manifest V3.

Has anyone else found malware in Thorium browser? "UPDATE: 5/14/2024: The malware was removed from the file PROXY.EXE and placed in another file, (PC\APPDATA\LOCAL\THORIUM\APPLICATION\123.0.6312.133\NOTIFICATION_HELPER.EXE). Both files are executable files. I would not trust this project until this concern is resolved." Detected by Bitdefender, Malwarebytes - detected: Trojan:Win32/Znyonm "A post on Microsoft's website claims this specific Trojan collects personal information, such as browsing history, and "uses it without adequate consent". https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1coxjtu/has_anyone_else_found_malware_in_thorium_browser/?rdt=46843

I no longer have Supermium on my computer. Everything removed. Unfortunately, Supermium ran poorly on my hardware, at least in the previous versions.

This is the scan result of the notification_helper.exe file uploaded to VirusTotal from my Thorium SSE2 122.0.6261.168 WINXP x32 installation: At least, the version 122.0.6261.169 of the file notification_helper.exe seems to be inconspicuous, but it is not version 123.0.6312.133 either.

I have to call "BS". I installed latest Thorium then installed last Malwarebytes for/on XP! NO SUCH TROJAN:WIN32/ZNYONM DETECTED! NONE! From my perspective, most of these "reports" come from Supermium fans that wants to see Thorium die. I'm down to only two XP laptops. But I use them regularly and even promoted one of them to the master bedroom (meaning it runs email programs for XP 24/7/365). For my XP laptops, SUPERMIUM is the one "not for me". So far, I've had great success with Thorium. Though NO, it has not become my default XP browser (Serpent 2023-07-31 is). That said, I am NOT a fan of Malwarebytes! I do not keep it on my system and I nuke every remnant after these types of "verification checks". I do have to assume that a BRAND NEW DOWNLOAD includes the most up to date definitions - because the LAST XP VERSION did not seem to want to check for updates. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SCREENCAPS OF ANYBODY THAT DID SCAN VIA MALWAREBYTES AND DID FIND A TROJAN. Otherwise, "hype and propaganda" shall be my mantra.

TBH, in the many years that first Pale Moon and then New Moon 28 have been my daily browsers, I didn’t care much about the hardware acceleration settings. It was enabled, and that was it. However, since the websites have become more and more bloated and sluggish, I have always taken some measures to increase the page loading speed. Since the hardware acceleration was activated, I always thought that nothing can be increased. Based on my research, I came to the conclusion that this is not quite true. Two preferences were not optimally configured to enjoy hardware acceleration to its full extent under my hardware conditions, which I have now corrected. These are the preferences layers.acceleration.disabled, which I now set from true to false, and layers.prefer-d3d9, which I switched from false to true. Now, the hardware acceleration is working great and much better than before. Amazon and eBay are now loading fine, and less lags while using the MSFN forum editor as, for example, in this moment.

Nah... "They" were "bad" to begin with ... Updating their code frameworks to target Google Chrome 125+ (which "they" expect every single one of their users to be on at the moment ) is what distances all these services further away from what UXP can (reasonably) digest ... As part of my research into hardware acceleration in the Thorium Browser, I have now taken another look at New Moon 28 and Serpent 52. I realised that hardware acceleration was not running to its full extent. I have now fixed this. And what shall I say, at the moment Amazon and eBay are working perfectly again in these browsers, especially in New Moon 28. And all that on my acient machine. 100% CPU utilisation is no longer an issue, quite the opposite. I am delighted.

Does this concern old Chrome versions users? Below 122. Thanks.

De-googled link without tracking. Can't you just play the video through MPC-HC with hardware acceleration (use Open With extension). From the release notes of v1.7.0: Needs youtube-dl. Not sure if this old version recognizes yt-dlp. If not rename or make a symlink (can be made on XP with Link Shell Extension:

Checked individual files, yes progwrp.dll is clean, all triggers come from setup.exe. But again, none of the famous antivirus does not find anything there, so I'm inclined to false positives. Perhaps all these antiviruses use the same detection method.

I think it's progwrp.dll, it overrides system calls, so it can be detected as suspicious. The same happens with VxKex for Win 7, it also has call interception and some antiviruses detect it as a malware. Kaspersky antivirus also detected progwrp.dll as a trojan at first, but after updating the antivirus databases it stopped detecting it, apparently they figured out that it was a false positive. And on Virustotal, only some unknown antiviruses find trojans, only 2-3 I've heard of at all.

EDIT: Most of those hits are from uninstall.exe. Just one (probably false) positive when uninstall.exe is deleted from /supermium folder. Zipped up just the Supermium folder without the installer (setup.exe): I'll leave it here, compare and contrast sort of thing. P.S. Tried to check if a separate .zipped binaries download was available, but no luck -- page is down [panicking emoji]

Pale Moon only has layers.acceleration.enabled AFAIK, which is a master switch for webpage compositing to use GPU and is also exposed as a checkbox in browser's settings. I assumed roytam1's version could be different, so I didn't say anything as his releases tend to deviate from upstream in random ways. Mozilla still uses layers.acceleration.disabled, so works the other way around, though newer versions have a bunch of related or not so related (depends on how you look at it) WebRender prefs, the traditional layers acceleration in considered legacy. The *prefer* prefs, these always made automatic selection of D3D9 on XP in UXP browsers in my experience, although I remember when I was messing with Mypal68 last time, you had to explicitly enable the D3D9 one. layers.acceleration.force can be used in addition to layers.acceleration.enabled to try force-enable it for unsupported configurations.

Tells me everything I need to know. People keep giving Supermium a "free pass" but flog Thorium every chance they get. Despite Supermium clearly being reported as having a trojan!

Thanks, I actually do have Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List, it works fine in other browsers, but not in Thorium, weird. Is it obsolete for v.122 and up , maybe?

Getting all kinds of weird tracking params all day while searching for different stuff. &PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN Is it only Thorium/Supermium? Or probably it's also included in the new (usual) chrome, and I missed these.

Just googling the name, I've found an app with the same name on WebStore. I don't have it installed, I don't even know what that is! Is it embedded tracking starting to show off? https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cybrhome/gldiimaaokgdphbhnpcfkepafoliekgl

?ref=cybrhome Someone knows what's this new tracking I started to notice? Example: https://ohs.stanford.edu/?ref=cybrhome http://google.com/?ref=cybrhome https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%3Fref%3Dcybrhome Is it also linked to 122 version and the inability to switch off client hints?

In fact, I haven't seen any extensions that do anything to CH.

The extension UserAgent-Switcher and Manager is the best of all I have tested. It simply works. And that is enough for me.

your problem is not related with videocard. this is monitor issue, not card. my monitor, benq bl2411, which i use 12 years, doing force stretch image to fullscreen for ANY signal on DVI input, from any source - Intel HDG, NVidia 4200/5200/1070, BUT Radeon, which SELF does image centering. so just replace monitor to manual aspect setting capable.

Yes, the timebomb's logic is a little off in that it only checks that the year is 2024 or greater, and that the month is August or greater.

Indeed, I wrote my own unified starter app for Chrome and Opera, it passes a gazillion of flags and enabled/disabled features to the executable, I shared it with several members, everyone's happy with it, I never used quotes. I must be not educated enough.

This was not the question D.Draker asked, he asked if there were quotes in the command line under chrome://version/ on his screenshot. For me, it doesn't seem like the member has troubles understanding English.

I wasn't catching anyone in a "a grammar trap." Come on, there's one million of live witnesses. Also, as religious people would say, God sees everything, fear of God. A fair solution would be now you both apologize. EDIT: Maybe then I reconsider postings of my valuable information, Take a note, it also says --flag-switches-begin, it's the beginning, also no quotes.

There are no quotes under chrome://version/ on your screenshot.

No, I'm afraid you're wrong, they don't require the """. Here's the screenshot from chrome://version.

Or simply add this command line flag. --enable-features=ExtensionManifestV2Availability It can and will be removed, next year, I guess, so is the policy option.

Hello everyone. I just finished re-adding GDI to Supermium. At first it would only work in --single-process mode, but I got it working in standard mode by ensuring that FontCache objects have the Skia GDI font manager when GDI is enabled. Then I want to fix TLS, readd D3D9 DXVA support, and link Supermium against a DLL with implementations of many newer functions. I have fixed my PMs if you are interested.

This is very unfortunate, indeed. I got a good offer on that Titan, but someone here wrote he had troubles with the new edition of GTX1060 (BIOS and the chip v.2 from 2018), I don't know if you saw that topic. And this Titan I was offered also from the newer (re-issued) batch. So no 100% guarantees. How big is the chance the 411 will work ? Thanks.

I vote for the 398.11. I tried it on another mobo today and no problems found. Would be great to have its original NVCPL working, of course. Also, I can now confirm it works with GT1030. Someone from your friends tried GTX Titan XP with 398.11 ? I only have the X variant, not XP. Thanks.
