I use Opera (Mobile) only on Android. No command line flags there, and there are only four internal flags available.

I'm using uBlock Origin 1.58.0 with the SSE4 version of Thorium Legacy on XP, and it seems to be working fine.

You can try to transfer your Thorium profile from a flash drive to another one which both are formatted in NTFS. Maybe then it works.

It shouldn't be like that, even if you always used those two flags. Probably your motherboard, OS and username are the same or similar? The browser gets you PC info via GetOEMCP. Is it on XP, by any chance? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winnls/nf-winnls-getoemcp

Yes! But Opera devs don't allow to use them.

You mean --disable-machine-id and --disable-encryption? Right?

Most private data collecting browsers, like the infamous Chinese Opera, don't allow to use that flag! This ought to tell something! We, along with @D.Draker, discovered it's bound to Opera Customer Unique ID.

Yep! That's why the term USB stick is mainly used in the German language. Flash drive is actually far too unspecific. But back on topic. What about your file systems on your drives?

Yes, but only if you want to have the extensions left, cookies aren't allowed to be transferred anyways!!! I just tried with a site similar to a forum, I copied the browser with this flag to another PC, Cookie became invalid, and I was forced to fully login!

Encryption creates a unique ID of your machine, it's used for fingerprinting. For example, Thorium developer can trace you by the logs. It's very convenient for devs to see which machine generated an error. In Brave and other Chromes it's used in guinea pigs "variations" tests. Google what it is.

1ghz dual core with 2 or 4Gb of ram for Windows 11 IoT LTSC??!? Is this a joke?

Also looks like a purely American Invention, I just found a 2014 article with a budget Fujitsu Lifebook E544, it had a DVD drive, despite being very thin for 2014, and two DVDs included: "driver DVD and recovery DVDs for both Windows 7 and 8.1 were included." https://www.notebookcheck.net/Fujitsu-Lifebook-E544-Notebook-Review.132628.0.html

Imagine you go to the hospital 'cause you feel unwell and the Doc says "ah go home, in the end you die". If Mozart had had that mentality he wouldn't have left us his great music that has stimulated intelligence, happiness and the will to live in millions of other human beings, although he didn't live long. In short, I don't think we should downplay importance of millions of things life involves 'cause of death. Even software. You said sometimes you entertain yourself by re-programming. I love software because I feel it makes our lives easier. Sometimes we're annoyed by what software does on our machine... but what software do we install on ourselves? I think we humans are still very unaware of the impact our attitudes can have on the lives of others. I'm thinking of doing the same. Discarded Supermium 'cause it destroyed my system. I'm having more patience with Thorium 'cause it works better and you've helped me a lot to make it more stable on my system but I feel it's too heavy, I don't depend on Google for anything, I don't Sync, so I feel much more comfortable with 360 Chrome 13.5 Redux1 ungoogled. It's very light, it works very well, I even was able to install a couple of security extensions and it doesn't accumulate any space on my disks. I feel with Serpent and 360Chrome I'm fine for my browsing needs. At least for now. As I always say, I recognise the effort and as another fellow here said, I totally agree: the more options the better. Thought it was irony! I'm a musician, I love the arts, I've made my machine the perfect home theatre for me. Music, movies, forums. Very little social media these days 'cause I think they're completely polluted with fear mongering and yellow journalism. I'm very interested in the opposite of that. So I follow a few people I find interesting and uplifting. Sometimes I leave a lot to context thinking what I say is understood. I wanna clarify I was referring to what I believe is a consumerist tendency that dictates that, for instance, next year your mobile phone won't work 'cause it won't be compatible with "something" so you'll have to buy another one, and so on and so on and so on. What we do here and in other spaces shows with some work, wit and will you can move forward without spending much or paying for ignorance or as the guys working on Linux show, you don't need to use way too many resources to have an up to date experience. I understand that often new structures need new bases but I also understand that it's possible to make new structures work on used bases if it does no harm.

Hi, well, I checked again, and passwords are saved, but cookies aren't functioning.

Fair enough. It was our talk about Android browsers that I was mainly saying was off-topic. As you why sync still works on Thorium and Supermium if it's not supposed to, I have no idea, I'm just glad that it does work!

Although off-topic, you are right regarding Chrome on Android. But the original Chrome browser is totally crappy. You are bombarded with advertising rubbish. I never use this browser under Android. You should rather use the Chrome based variant Kiwi which supports extensions. I have installed uBlock Origin there, and it works fine. Bye, bye ads!

Google only finds DIXEL's comment which starts Page 28. So should Dixel be banned? Or the profile that was clearly created by a BOT?

Sorry, it's very late here, in Holland, I'll re-check tomorrow. Night,

As i understand it, there's a secondary purpose -- it's also used as encryption key. BTW, you got me doubting the whole passwords/cookies thing worked, so triple-checked -- just moved the folder to a different box, and everything works -- exactly where i left off, logged into all the sites i was logged into. I doubt Thorium is doing anything other Chromium forks don't, but could you try & see if it works for you?

For me, If I use always use --disable-machine-id and --disable-encryption, only extensions and saved passwords are left. Cookies are completely broken if moved to another PC.

I hope you all know that a new profile must be initially created using the two portable flags, and don't even think to launch it without them even once!

Why your first release is V3? Check this post. Why do you release another WMP11 Addon as boooggy and onepiece both do good job? I have workd on an addon including Windows Media Player 10 and Windows Media 11 Runtimes, therefore i only need to modify a few to create this addon. Features by YumeYao Compatibility with XP/MCE/2k3 in one Addon. for 2k3, M$ does not install skins but this addon does Obsolete files are removed. They are either utility to migrate DRM stuffs or a file with several KiloBytes which is used to overwrite the old file. Addon structure: File Copy and Registry handling are system-like A working MTP on Windows 2003, both their WMP Integration solution can't offer this.

Modern web sucks with constant reliance on new bells and whistles. Slightly off-topic, but I encountered another oddity with self-compiled build of Pale Moon on Raspberry Pi 5, enabling subtitles on https://piped.video/ makes the browser get stuck with full CPU core utilization. Then go ahead and try being @roytam1 and roll your own builds.

All browsers based on the UXP platform as, for example, New Moon 28 or Serpent 52. Here are two links: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL

According to MS, IoT is for "fixed-function, special-purpose devices," like running an app for some lab gear/kiosk machine, that sort of thing. Considering how sluggish 11 is on reasonable HW, it's usable on junk -- ran it on Athlon 64 with 4 gigs, was OK for basic web browsing, Also tried a VM with 2 cores/1 GB -- sluggish, but it loaded/ran Chrome, updated itself (with a bunch of Chrome tabs open) without issues, was nearly usable.

It's more of a trend, not a bug, It happens in new Chrome, also.

And yes, @Tripredacus is absolutely right! Windows 7 was also distributed as RTM with SP1 (at least with Fujitsu, see the image below).
