Is this anything to do with the 'NoToEmoji' font which is bundled with the browser?
I do not install bundled fonts to the OS so my Supermium still shows the same boxes as the Edge screencap above.
I do not need what I think of as a PHONE FONT installed on my DESKTOP computer.
To each their own, of course.

I would add that Thorium has existed longer than Supermium.
I have not used it but I cannot claim to have really used Supermium either - I launch Supermium to TRY to use it, it pegs the CPU at 100%, tends to make its way out of the 100%, only to resume 100% a minute or two later, I throw the computer out the living room window, I visit a local retailer to replace the computer, then a local window shop to replace the living room window.

boxes where presumably there should be icons
Those are not technically "icons" (which imply images), but a FONT where each "letter" of the font is a "glyph".
You are blocking a "remote font" so you are getting a "square" instead of the "font LETTER".

Funny I only get this on Pale Moon forum recently, was easier to get it on all sorts of web sites on 360Chrome.
I can tell you that from my experience, the "disappearing fonts" in 360Chrome were *always* when the font-size .css attribute was in *em* units instead of something like *px*.
This also is true of your Pale Moon forum "Register", "Login", and "Unread posts" links, the font-size is in *em*.
"Flex containers" also seem to be an issue that also causes "disappearing fonts" in XP.
At the time, I used a Tampermonkey script to convert any-and-all *em* font-size's to *px* and I never encountered any "disappearing font" afterwards.

Unsure where to report this so I shall report here.
This *MEMBER* is clearly a SPAM account. No actual spam POSTS per se, but the entire "membership" is clearly spam-bot.
Member profile = https://msfn.org/board/profile/440850-techwalmart/
ie, look at the "contact method" and the "about me" content of this non-member "member".

The Russian VPN ban is not a blanket ban on VPN usage.
It is a ban on using VPN's to access web sites that are prohibited in Russia.
Russia does not prohibit citizens from being MSFN members.
MSFN blocking Russian IP Addresses is entirely different - MSFN does not ban any member from access MSFN via VPN, regardless of country of origin.
You guys are seeing things through a narrow prism and interpreting things your own way. Feel free to discuss with a lawyer.
Saxon, no you are not breaking any laws. Indicating that Xao_Fan-Tzilin is breaking laws is where you are wrong here.
I'm done. Some times it is easier to debate with a brick wall then it is to "discuss" with people already of a set mindset.

Using VPN is illegal in Russia, let me ask you, what are you doing here in the first place?
Sorry, Saxon. You are using this VPN ban out of context.
Only if MSFN is prohibited in Russia is Xao_Fan-Tzilin (edit: had wrong name before edit) breaking any laws.
Is MSFN prohibited in Russia? I don't know, nor care.
But unless MSFN itself is prohibited, then Saxon is legally allowed by law in his own country to access MSFN via VPN.That said, I personally feel that MSFN should not allow VPN access, but that is an MSFN decision.

I wouldn't call it "safety", more along the lines of "privacy".
One school of thought is "I'm not doing anything 'wrong', let them collect all the data they want".
The other school of thought is "I was fired for saying something online, after hours, not work-related, not even a high-traffic web site, but the boss didn't agree with my statement".

are you suggesting to trust our own ISP's dns resolver?

Agreed as far as other countries. I was answering an enquiry from a fellow USA member.

they will know only the sites you connect to, but not traffic
True. I guess I kind of see these two as one in the same.
I guess the difference is whether my ISP knows if I visit MSFN or if I download illegal content via Torrent or Onion.

Your ISP knows your traffic whether or not you use their DNS resolver or somebody else's DNS resolver, be that through your web browser, your OS, or your routers DNS capabilities.
So you can either do it all through your ISP or you set a different DNS and now you've DOUBLED the amount of "data" collected 'in your name' because now your ISP and that third-party DNS has logged your every move.

Merriam-Webster is as English as English can get. All in that list is in the Merriam-Webster ENGLISH dictionary. Q. E. D. (another Latin phrase in the ENGLISH dictionary).

Not exactly true. Shih Tzu is just as English as et cetera is English, as ad hoc is English, as per se is English, as carte blanche is English, as vice versa is English, as de facto is English, as per se is English, as mea culpa is English, as verbatim is English, as per capita is English, as cul de sac is English, as al dente is English, as alfresco is English, as coup d'etat is English, as en masse is English.
And of course, I have to end this small list with ET CETERA because I could list sooo many more.

I agree.
My gut feeling is that neither is ready for prime time -- yet . . .

Supermium 122.
Can't you at least post a screencap or something on what led you to this conclusion?
What barometer did you use? And please don't tell us that it was your "gut feeling", lol.

OK, so Superium 122, and now Thorium 122.
Which is the one to go for?
I myself have not compared/contrasted. All I do know through my own testing is that Supermium pegs my last remaining XP's CPU at 100% quite often!
To the point of walking away from the computer for three minutes until it becomes responsive again.
Will Thorium do the same? No clue, should know by this weekend or so.

This is the one I used for testing in XP -- https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/download/v122-hf/supermium_122_32_setup.exe
Technically, I NEVER EVER EVER "install" web browsers!
All you need to do in the case of Supermium is unzip the .exe using 7Zip.

Thorium
in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes

I have ran (in VM only) some Thorium releases in the past. LONG before Supermium was ever a thing!
I did find Thorium to be STABLE. Even with only 2GB RAM allocated to the VM. Like it or not, Supermium is simply NOT THERE -- *yet*
I personally don't mind, in the least, viewing Thorium EXACTLY as we did 360Chrome "in the days of forgotten lore".
Nobody trusted 360Chrome in the beginning either. It was MSFN Members that evolved it into something we were comfortable with.
Logging its every connection, hex editing .dll's, customizing GUI, et cetera.
Nothing wrong, in the least, with doing the same to Thorium... And Supermium...
Show a screen cap of Thorium making a questionable connection.
The "throw granny from the cliffs" scare tactic approach isn't doing anybody any good.
