Off-topic, but your lack of a visible window could be caused by a known issue on XP, which I reported here. It seems to be hardware-related, with some GPUs. That causes what I described as a 'ghost window', which is present but invisible! Try with the --disable-gpu switch, that might fix it.

Scratch that. I *can* reproduce. I have to keep it open for longer than a few seconds before closing. I was launching and exiting, launching and exiting, launching and exiting - no event log. But if I *wait* a minute or so, then exit, yeah, event log EVERY TIME.

Eureka! That was it! But I'm still *not* able to get the event log issue. Not on XP x64. And not on XP x86.

Which may or may not require this filter to be working in conjunction with. At any rate, my combination of filters "work" (for that site) and yours "do not". ie, you need a better combination of filters.

Found it. You are *NOT* using EasyList in uBO's Ads section. Blocking scripts from "adthrive.com" is why I'm not getting any anti-adblock banner junk.

I ask everyone to read the release notes carefully. I only help solve certain problems, and I created wrappers for DWrite to get it working on XP. All this hard work is thanks to e3k. Personally, I think his browser is better than Supermium in every way. Especially after restoring WebGL acceleration support for D3D9 on XP and porting DWriteCore from the Win Apps SDK for XP (though users have reported that the browser doesn't work with it under certain conditions - I need to look into that). I also think it’s simply much faster - both on relatively good hardware and on low-end hardware, and it works with processors that only support SSE2. https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK/issues/65#issuecomment-4357771559 I won't repeat myself, because e3k's post on this issue covers everything there is to know about the differences between Supermium and Chromium for Windows 7. The x64 version still has a problem with excessive virtual memory usage on XP x64, but fixing it would be pointless, it would take weeks or months of work to restore the behavior of the disabled GigaCage to the code, which was removed between versions 91 and 92, and in the meantime, Chromium has undergone two major changes to its memory allocator. Supermium, on the other hand, is clearly very low on the author’s list of priorities, after all, he also develops an extended kernel available behind a paywall, so it’s clear which option is more profitable.

https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK/issues/37#issuecomment-4237808546 https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK/releases/tag/149.0.7793.0 New version has been released, with removed dependencies on dxgi in libGLESv2. Simply install VC 2015–2019, or if you don’t want to install it, just copy the relevant files. DWrite is also included.

I added links to download the latest versions of WidevineCDM and added a guide for Windows 7 in the first post.

I have updated my old guide about compiling Chromium. Now it only applies to compiling clear Chromium. A new one will be created for building with e3kskoy7wqk patches.

I'll check it out (for free ) That's me too. I can send you a modified version of 140 ESR or the latest one.

The first builds of Chromium 140 are available. As expected, flags have been removed and the policies entry in the registry no longer works. But after adding --enable-features=AllowLegacyMV2Extensions --disable-features=ExtensionManifestV2DeprecationWarning,ExtensionManifestV2Disabled,ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported to the MV2 shortcut it still works. We will see for how long, as these are very early compilations. That is Chromium for Windows 7 by e3kskoy7wqk*

Many people use a different system than they have in their profile, or have several computers with different systems.... So reboot12 was right to ask the question.

Wrapper of bcryptprimitives (e.g., p_cryptp from Supermium) and kernel32 (e.g., pwrp_k32 also from Supermium). And you can mod this yourself.
