Win10 skin should be considered "abandonware". I will not be using 360Chrome in my Win10 OS's as there are much more "modern" web browsers for Win10.

What you describe seems to only be if using the Win10 replacement file but not actually be on Win10. I have no plans to create a "Win10 theme for XP" and a second "Win10 theme for Win7" and a third "Win10 theme for Win10".

I have no way to "test" Google Cast but it should be broken/disabled in all of my builds because I remove non-essential API's and break/disable gstatic connections. Which is also why the context menu "Translate to English" is intentionally broken/disabled in my builds. Do not recall if I started intentionally breaking all non-essential API's until v13/v13.5 or not (ie, the context menu Translate may still work in v11 and v12 [if even present, have not used either in quite some time]).

At least not "legally". Humming Owl accepted PayPal "donations" for his browser "modifications" and I would certainly not let "upstream" catch wind of that!

Since this is the "rant" thread, lol. There are some members I miss, others that I do not miss, still others that I think the forum would be &/or is better off without. edit - I was looking for the Fozzie Bear "waka waka waka" where he is dressed like Luke Skywalker, but this will suffice

To be perfectly honest, I was not going to "go public" with this, but I have been using v13.5 build 2022 since mid-August or so. There is nothing to update on builds v11, v12, and v13 and they are in essence abandonware. v13.5 on the other hand has been updated "upstream" and it was basically my OCD that had me do a build 2022 because it coinceded with the YEAR. I do not recall if this "fixed" any web sites that did not function in prior builds or not. It was honesly just an OCD Thing with the build coinciding with the year that I even updated at all. A known bug (unfixable!) is that the Dev Tools will revert to Chinese if opened in Incognito Mode (v13 build 2206 is the last version to NOT do this, ALL NEWER versions have this "flaw". Unfixable!). I "think" I packaged the below links with Dev Tools in English but it's been a few months and I'm not 100% sure on that. Another known bug is that right-click "Translate to English" is intentionally broken (I intentionally break all features that "force" Google connections). This "bug" is fixable but again, I intentionally break all features that "force" Google connections so whether this is a "bug" or not is "user discretion".

I hope they didn't spend money to conduct that survey. Speaking of decibel levels, I once witnessed a company I once worked for "investigated" by OSHA for their take-shelter alarm being TOO LOUD. Our "safety" department ignored all complaints citing them as TOO LOUD. The "safety" department would sarcastically reply "would you rather die in a tornado because you couldn't hear the alarm?" OSHA was brought in to "investigate" and the company had to install new alarms because they were indeed found to be TOO LOUD. The "safety" manager didn't last much longer after that, but he left for other reasons.

Can you share the URL for your gym? I'd like to test a few things and hopefully do not need a "membership" to test.

My rant? Are you sure you want to hear MY RANT? My rant is THIS THREAD! But alas, carry on, guys! "To each their own", as I always say. But I will "rant" this, we call this a "tech" forum but haven't you all noticed just what threads gain the most and fastest "frequency"? I find it tempting to start a thread entitled "Rant against the Rant Thread" - but I will not, lol. Again, "carry on, guys". "To each their own". I hereby conclude my "rant".

It kind of depends on how many web sites that you visit. I visit basically 30 to 50 web sites. Over and over again throughout the year. If I visited that many UNIQUE web sites each and every week, then a DIFFERENT set next week, et cetera, then using uMatrix would consume too much time. But for my 30 to 50, I "set it and forget it".

uMatrix is for those that want EXACT and PRECISE control over EVERYTHING. uBlock is for those that trust lists made by people they've never met. Or something like that Everyone is going to have different "needs". "I'm unique. Just like everybody else."

I should state that a little differently - backports do not exist until they are needed. You cannot backport beforehand.

edit - Just where is the thread supposed to go? Isn't the topic kind of "speculative" at this point? Here is Chromium v103 running in Win7. I believe the topic was in regards to v102 and higher, unless I'm mistaken? But again, entirely speculative as Chrome/Chromium still supports Win7. My Win7's Chromium will be following the GDIChromium project to see if its developer will continue Win7 support after Chrome/Chromium discontinues their "support" some time next year. edit - until "upstream" does end support, the nature of this thread is entirely speculative. How can we know what developers will maintain Win7 support before Win7 support has even ended? Kafan Mini-Browser, DCBrowser, 360Chrome - all extend web browser support for XP but none existed until "upstream" support for XP had ended several weeks/months prior. So yeah, this thread will become much MUCH more important after "upstream" officially ends Win7 "support".

In my versions, open 360Loader.ini while 360Chrome is not running and add whatever useragent you want in the Parameters line. I use: --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.198 Safari/537.36" Make sure the entire useragent string starts with and ends with a quote (")

Here's a GDI (ie, DirectWrite is disabled!) Chromium v103 both in x86 and x64 -- https://github.com/GTANAdam/GDIChromium/releases

You will find that many people will be reluctant to assist folks that type in ALL CAPS.

Unsure. I have always felt uBlock to be an inferior product and I use uMatrix (and intentionally an older version by choice). uMatrix blocks most of them by default because they tend to always be "third-party" or "sub-domain" .js files. ie, this one is at st.deviantart.net instead of the page you are visiting which is www.deviantart.com.

According to here ( https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/06/02/improving-font-rendering-in-microsoft-edge/ ), Chromium uses DirectWrite. Unsure how "old" the article is and if it "still" is true or not. I use "Ungoogled Chromium v97" on my Win10 (and one Win7, but have not booted that for quite some time) and it shows skia as enabled by default. I do not have the font issues in Ungoogled Chromium v97 that I have on Edge v107 (where the edge://flags#edge-enhance-text-contrast was required for better font rendering). Ungoogled Chromium v97 does not have a #edge-enhance-text-contrast flag.

Color me blue. I didn't know "skia" was a form of hardware acceleration. Just thought it was a rendering "technique" and thought it affected the way that fonts rendered.

You could always set uBlock (since you're a fan of uBlock) to block any .js file with the name "browser-support".

What user agent are you sending in DCB vs v13.5 vs v13 vs v12? Because that website does a simple substring test from this one .js file -- https://st.deviantart.net/eclipse/browser-support.min.js?20220218

I don't have any Win 7 Chrome. My thanks was in reference to @UCyborg's edge://flags/#edge-enhance-text-contrast suggestion as it resolved some fuzzy font edges I was seeing on a sudoku web page in Win10 and Chromium v97. I'll abandon this thread now. There's four times as many replies by "us" that are not even on Win 7 (yourself included, aren't you on Vista?). So I'm confused on why the thread has had my attention in the first place

Thanks!

Easy. Frame of reference, at least on my end. Scientific Method - change only one variable at a time.

I've sent you a PM regarding v13.5.
