    Thanks again for sharing further, detailed information! And as this thread is about proxies, you are absolutely on-topic.
  2. AstroSkipper
    Thanks for the information and the linked documentation! Personally, I never used a PAC file. But one thing is clear you never stop learning. And here are some further PAC file examples: https://findproxyforurl.com/example-pac-file/

    No. That is not the case. When closing the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy from my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, its entries are automatically removed from the system proxy settings. If not, you did something wrong. Close the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy and check the system proxy settings by "Open IE Proxy Settings" in the PopMenu!

    @Anbima My final recommendation for you. Use in 360Chrome a proxy switcher extension like, for example, Proxy SwitchyOmega for a more convenient use of this proxy from inside this browser!
  5. AstroSkipper
    Exactly the opposite, simply letting certain URLs pass, can easily be realised. What you want is not actually the purpose of this proxy. If you only need the proxy for certain connections, only switch it on then and switch it off otherwise. It's as simple as that.
  6. AstroSkipper
    Personally, I use very few extensions in Thorium. And those which are only used from time to time have been disabled by me.
  7. AstroSkipper
    ProxHTTPSProxy can be configured to the user needs in its configuration file config.ini. And in 360Chrome, as already described by @VistaLover, you can alternatively switch between "Use IE proxy" and "Do not use proxy".

    When it comes to my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, closing the main window of ProxHTTPSProxy automatically removes its entries from the system proxy settings. This is not the case when using ProxyMII.

    In the meantime, I have made various performance improvements to Thorium, on the one hand by selecting suitable flags for my hardware, and on the other hand by generally using a mobile user agent from Android with the help of the ingenious User-Agent Switcher and Manager extension. Today, I have found an additional flag to reduce the FPS when it comes to media which is --max-gum-fps=30. Here is a screenshot from MotionMark which runs now at 45fps and not 60fps.

    That's exactly why I support the idea of MSFN, and actually the reason for all my efforts here. In my case, let Windows XP live forever or at least as long as possible.

    Most people probably find this rather boring. But the mainboard of this computer is from 2000 and the CPU from 2004, and I assembled almost all the components of this old computer myself. I rebuilt the case, repaired the mainboard and due to air cooling improvements, no hard drive has died since then. I have a very personal relationship with this computer, so to speak. It runs super stable and just won't stop working. And to be ontopic again, Thorium runs amazingly well on this computer in contrast to Supermium, where the page load behaviour is much worse. Very often the loading process simply hangs with 100% CPU utilisation.

    Do you talk about their X-Launcher? In the case of the paf version from PortableApps, these entries are only written temporarily to the registry. After closing the browser, they are written back to a local reg file and then removed from the registry. So, nothing to be worried about. Unfortunately, Supermium does not run fluently on my old hardware.
  13. AstroSkipper
    No, I don't. You wanted to know for which extensions would be written entries to the registry. And I answered that all Supermium (Chrome) browsers do that, when installing extensions, either permanently when installed by installer or temporarily when fully portable. So, it doesn't matter whether you use or prefer installers or not.

    If you want to have a pure ProxHTTPSProxy, then you can use @cmalex's ProxyMII. Read from the section 8. to 8.4.! In case of ProxyMII, however, there is no starter programme, and therefore the necessary settings in the system proxy of Windows XP have to be done manually by the user. And no additional features like minimising to systray and so on are then available.
  15. AstroSkipper
    In Chrome, there should be a setting to use the system proxy which has to be enabled. When starting ProxHTTPSProxy via the PopMenu, my self-created starter programme StartProxy automatically sets the necessary configuration in the system proxy of Windows XP.

    And since you can set records both upwards and downwards, here is my result from the graphics test on the motion mark website in Thorium on my old machine:

    Here is a link to an official website of Avast where is clearly stated that a key for more recent Avast Free Antivirus (including the version 18) is no longer needed: https://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus#windows Additionally, a screenshot of this website: Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    My main article even offers a Table of Contents at the begining of the first post. In your case, read from the section 9. to 9.3.3! Following the table of contents, the download can be found in the section 11.2.2.. The download package contains a short and a detailed documentation. What else is supposed to be needed? I think nothing. To answer your question whether it is installed or portable, it is more portable than installed. To be more detailed, you have to install a certificate and some registry settings to let the ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 run correctly. All has been sufficiently described. But nothing of it is harmful and can easily be removed if necessary. And that's all I'm going to say about it. Read first, then try it out and only if something doesn't work, I'll be happy to help. However, one thing should be clear, I am not a fan of spoon-feeding.
  19. AstroSkipper
    As I don't use 360Chrome 13.5.1030, I can't judge what your problem is. And only one sentence without a concrete description of your issue is simply too little information. BTW, the installation of ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 can be done in minutes. So, just try it!
  20. AstroSkipper
    Thanks for documenting! The file and folder structure which is expected by your app was clear to me from the very first, though. However, the structure of my Thorium installation is different and isn't supposed to be changed.
  21. AstroSkipper
    And so that everyone has something to laugh about , I am solemnly publishing the result of my Thorium test on my old Windows XP sweetheart:
  22. AstroSkipper
    The last two days, I have tested Thorium vs. Supermium on my Pentium 4 32-bit system. So far, Thorium works indeed better, more reliable and smoother than Supermium under my hardware conditions. And I assume why. My Thorium version is a special SSE2 variant and adapted to this instruction set. At least, this could be a reason.
  23. AstroSkipper
    The last XP-compatible version 18.8.4084.0 of Avast Clear was from end of 2018. All later versions are no longer compatible with Windows XP as, for example, the version you have linked to.
  24. AstroSkipper
    Thanks for the flowers! However, the list is still not complete. There are further security and antimalware programmes targeting Windows XP that still need to be written about. The lack of time alone is the limiting factor, though.
  25. AstroSkipper
    Strangely enough, Tampermonkey does not run correctly in Thorium. In my installation, scripts were regularly simply not loaded. So I replaced it with Violentmonkey, which seems to work more reliably in Thorium.
