Hardware specs? I don't observe this on an el-cheapo Pentium G3470 (bought for 5 Euros).

Of course, this is all a little confusing. But the multi-process mode of Mypal 68 has nothing directly to do with a multi-core CPU. In multi-process mode, Mypal 68 opens every single tab, all extensions and other things into new browser processes, just as Chrome (including 360Chrome) has been doing for a long time. The advantage of Mypal 68 is that the single-process mode still exists and can be switched on if desired. Each of these modes has advantages, but also disadvantages, as you surely know.

Both SM an TH have terribly smudged, bright, too light fonts, whereas 360 has good, readable fonts, we already posted screenshots in Supermium topic. The reason I avoid both for now, I got an eye trauma after I fell off the second floor of an old hooch in Africa colonies, while on patrol, so it's especially hard for me to read now. What can I suggest? CatsXP 115 has very good, similar fonts to 360, also it switches off the stupid Direct write. But it *of course* includes China telemetry. Later on, CatsXP went the same road and made those terrible fonts, too! Excuse me for any errors, I temporarily don't see well.

Yes, strange, me neither! Probably some soft conflict?

It's rather expected, my guess is those two clone browsers are more optimized for older single/dual core. HT and the such might only slow it down! @NotHereToPlayGames, go to the BIOS and switch HT to OFF.

The Chrome engine is bloated, it's no surprise, DDR4 improves the situation. Very little the they can do.

uBlock has quite some settings to prevent Chrome's malicious behaviour, for example - block remote fonts, CSP reports, disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests), disable hyperlink auditing, etc.

In my experience, all those memory "saving features", including this one, and the infamous "refresh" only consume more RAM. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/507#issuecomment-2071376972

The reason OpenOffice is still compatible with XP is because it hasn't received a major version update since 2014. https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice-vs-openoffice/

Thanks for testing! Even if you try to force Mypal 68.14.0b being executed on only one core of your 64-bit multi-core CPU, it is probably not the same as a real 32-bit single-core CPU. Or what do you think?

I always found LibreOffice to be unstable. OpenOffice is better.

@feodor2 I have deeply tested uBlock Origin 1.57.2 and older versions of uBO in Mypal 68.14.0b, Mypal 68.13.7b and Mypal 68.13.9b. All in multi-process mode on my computer with a Pentium 4 32-bit single-core CPU, even in different Windows XP installations. I got the same issues, the same problems as already described here. Conclusion at the moment: uBlock Origin in Mypal 68 with default multi-process mode is not working properly on my computer with a single-core CPU. Updating of filter lists is broken which results in a complete breakage of uBlock Origin. As long as this cannot be confirmed or fixed by you, I'll revert all installations back to single-process mode which is more stable on my computer with a single-core CPU than your recommended and by default preconfigured multi-process mode. At least as for uBlock Origin. In single-process mode, uBlock Origin is working as it should. Sorry for these bad news! Nevertheless, I really appreciate your efforts in developing Mypal 68. PS: If anyone were or weren't able to confirm my observations on a computer equipped with a single-core CPU, I would really appreciate that. But there is also the possibility that I am the only one, for whatever reason. So, the question is not "To be or not to be" but am I really the only one?

Ok. As usual the proof is in the pudding. I have two partitions with Windows XP installed. One with POSReady 2009 and one without. I will test that and report here. I have just tested uBlock Origin 1.57.2 in Mypal 68.14.0b multi-process mode on my Windows XP partition without any POSReady 2009 updates. Same issue. When starting to load the filter list Adguard - Ads, all is over. Endless loading and uBlock Origin is then completely broken. Thus, as I already assumed, this issue is definitely not related to POSReady 2009 patches/updates.

Thanks for your assessment! I tend to agree with that. My Windows XP computer is indeed equipped with a 32-bit single-core CPU. I think using Mypal 68 in single-process mode is more suitable as I already did from the very first. In this mode, it uses also much less RAM.

I don't use the kernel, I did, but locally (it wasn't installed into the system). Neither Thorium, nor Supermium need it.

I can remember very well that there was a problem with the sporadic disappearance of the Clean Links' toolbar icon in the past. This seems to be fixed in CleanLink2 as far as I can tell at the moment. In any case, I have installed this version and will see how it behaves.

On my XP x64, rebasing 360Chrome .dll's actually MADE MY FIRST LAUNCH TIME WORSE. So I actually NEVER rebase my .dll's!

Rebasing .dll's will NOT prevent that "first launch" startup delay. I have ALWAYS had this delay! ALWAYS. Even in 360Chrome on XP. Even in Ungoogled Chromium on Win10.

Official Ungoogled Chromium will still have that settings page but the sync, sign-in, and URL telemetry options are removed completely. Official Ungoogled still offers - 1) "Improve search suggestions" (this is technically only a "Google" thing if your default search engine is Google and you "want" the so-called search "suggestions") 2) profile name, color, and avatar 3) import bookmarks and settings

Than you - Awesome new game! Emu Berry

Thank you, that has fixed it completely!

The message comes from Gitea. The workaround for the problem (missing SubmitEvent) is supposedly implemented, that's why there's a warning. Although the question is whether the discussed failure is related or not. Hm, Moonchild crew migrated from GitHub because it (the web interface) didn't support their browser (maybe there were other reasons too), now they use Gitea to host their source code repo which also expects stuff missing from their browser.

AstroSkipper, try to switch extensions.webextensions.remote - false

LOL, calm down!

@genieautravail If 5 users will gether, okey next version will have SSE. What doesn't suit your already existing version, because new version is more bloated and likely has new errors. @AstroSkipper What about other things or this is happens only with Adguard, soon I shall make testing on P4 single core, @AstroSkipper@NotHereToPlayGames Multiprocess is not about cpu cores. Windows OS multiprocess itself since 1993 I think, and Intel 386 the first CPU which supports multiprocess. Also Firefox is not like Chrome here, they try be it latter at 100's, I think making every piece on the separate process is overkill. In general mp is good for performance, and stability too. If you have ar least 2gb ram prefer stay mp. Furthermore POSready updates installed everywhere on my side, never heard about issues with this.

Memory read error has to do with a program trying to read outside of what is allowed for it in the OS. It is not a physical error in the hardware. It's a common fault. Usually memory errors proceed silently because there is no mechanism for detecting them, or the PC would hang. I went to github.com using New Moon and tried to sign up or log in. I was presented with an unbelieveably resource intensive screen of flying through a starfield and a greeting appearing one letter a time as if being typed by a person. It should be just an ordinary login prompt. That design might fit an "art gallery" or a music album, not a site for programming. It was unusable on a Core 2 Duo. But when I opened the page in Opium, expecting it to go a bit faster, I got none of the animations. The login box had the same design, but appeared instantly.

Dietmar knows how to switch properly from Standard PC to ACPI. @Dietmar can you show him how you did this?

I'm keeping it. I will *not* be keeping any Supermium builds - at least not yet, I'll try future builds, but none to date will work on my system - NONE. While real hardware is the goal here, tyr Supermium in a VM. Not sure why it should matter, but it does! Run Supermium in a VM and you WILL throw your computer out the window, throw the keyboard out right behind it, flush your mouse down the toilet, and take your printer outside and hit it with a baseball bat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9wsjroVlu8

Use - body, body *, body h1, body h2, body h3, body h4 {font-family: unset !important;}

Thank you, that seems to have largely fixed the incorrect font on the Digital Spy forum site! It does look as if some of the site is still wrong though, like the 'Sky' header here, which looks as if it's still in the wrong font. All the rest looks now correct. Is that perhaps because it's a larger size?

@jacer4 Here is the new link for this file, good luck Dietmar https://ufile.io/p07xouxv

You can get the text back on Firefox 72 before whatever updated in the forum that broke compatibility, and Iron 109. For the MSFN links, when you paste the link, and the preview comes up, click the black banner that says to show only link. It seems that sometimes the preview option for forum links doesn't work.

You're right. My Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit is fully updated with all patches/updates after SP3 including all POSReady 2009 ones. But this was never a problem. And uBlock Origin 1.57.2 works fine here in single-process mode. Thus, I don't think that the problem is related to POSReady 2009 patches. But thanks for your opinion!

Possible. But I have ran both on real hardware on old laptop and from VM on fairly-modern hardware. I get the same results in both - Supermium is the only one pegging at 100% for 2 to 4 minutes, dropping to 2% for 10 seconds, then pegging again for another 2 to 4 minutes. I can only speak towards what I witness - and that is that Thorium works better, much MUCH better, on my hardware. Supermium can NOT be ran from a VM, the 100% CPU is far FAR worse when ran from a VM. But I suppose that's okay, we should be targeting real hardware.

Thank you.

Very strange, I can post different links. I remember some users that were constantly posting random youtube videos were restricted, but you never spammed this forum. So, it's strange, indeed. As proof I can post: Crocodile Monitor (Varanus salvadorii) https://a-z-animals.com/animals/crocodile-monitor/

The website of the largest Russian social network has stopped opening. Returns an error: https://ibb.co/XS2StnJ

So, try to exit "USB Safely Remove", block it from running, reboot and try to eject the HDD.

NTLDR is missing message comes from the OS itself, so this means it can see the disk. This message means that the BIOS did the hand-off to the disk, read the boot .ini and found where the OS is, but the path did not resolve. So the first thing to do is to check the boot .ini and see what is in there. One example of a situation where a BIOS update can cause this is if the OS volume where Windows is located had its drive letter change. Such as if you are using multiple hard disk and Windows is in D: a BIOS change could cause the re-enumeration of volumes and D: is now E:, etc. If it is a situation where your OS was on C: but now that volume is a different letter, then it may be better off reverting that BIOS version again as the Windows installation could have problems with the drive letter changing. NOTE: The forum will not let you type in the term I put in bold above without a space. You will get an error if you try to submit a post without the space. EDIT: I'd also like to report that while the retroweb (site linked earlier) is good for information, I find their software to be lacking. That site does not take into account board revisions such as is common with Microstar boards which means this issue will likely exist for other brands. That would be a reason why a BIOS update may fail. Also I've yet to find any drivers on there that have worked. For example, ones that are marked for Windows 95 requiring different OS like XP, or 32bit options are 64bit versions, etc.

360Chrome v13.5 Build 1030 Redux I inadvertently corrupted my original Build 1030 series when working on Builds 2022 and 2036 so this is starting brand new with several lessons learned from later versions, including 2044. I've always much preferred Build 1030 over anything "newer". They all technically use the same v86 Chromium engine "under the hood".
