NotHereToPlayGames

This type of discussion very easily falls into the same type of "surface discussions" here at MSFN that if we get too "detailed" or provide actual "links", then we break MSFN Forum Rules. MSFN does not promote violating Software License Agreements yet MSFN does allow "surface discussions" on things like POSReady and extended kernels. It's a very fine line. MSFN does not promote violating Software Terms. There are, however, "Fair Use" clauses (I may have the wrong "legal term", but you still get the gist) whereby you ACCEPT the Software Terms but OPT OUT of the sharing of non-personal information. This OPT OUT is often such fine print that the average consumer is completely unaware that they even CAN "opt out". I have not read the Softwware Terms for Ghostery and make no claims on how its Software Terms are worded. I would claim that most of us here at MSFN are well "above average" consumers so as far as "surface discussions" go, I will add this - If you BREAK your dependency on the Chrome Web Store (ie, use Ungoogled Forks) and download archived .crx files instead, that .crx is just a .zip file - open that .crx and you can see everything!

That's because if you download from the Chrome Store, then you have a browser that enables a persistent cookie and yes, that cookie does send data back without requesting permission. If you use any browser that mimmicks Ungoogled Chromium, then this data link is disabled and now you have to manually create that data link. No privacy-conscious consumer should ever use any non-ungoogled Chromium fork, in my humble opinion.

You should not need to check Developer Mode to drag-and-drop on the Extensions page.

Added note to top of first post regarding number of characters in sub-folder name.

Correct, links are down for rebuild 7 due to space needed for rebuild 8 -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/184515-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1351030-rebuild-8/ I will upload ALL versions one of these days to Internet Archive (including past v11, v12, and v13 builds). Unsure when I will be able to do that.

Thanks.

But what I still cannot grasp, as far as timelines go, did Google "create" this Googlism, or were they just the first to be able to "render" what a THIRD-PARTY "CONSORTIUM" created? edit - my frame of reference is the automotive industry. here in the US, it is often Federal Mandates that come FIRST, then YEARS later is the "widget" created to meet that Mandate.

I should be able to do this one of these weekends.

Doh! Didn't even dawn on me, thanks for the clarification.

Are you sure? There's only 7 bits there instead of 8.

Here are some .dll's to try (they of course need renamed to chrome.dll but I know you know that). These are "no-translate" versions of chrome.dll. #6 may be the most revealing - it rebases "away" from the ORIGINAL address only to rebase "back to" the ORIGINAL address. #4 is rebased to the same address as that used in rebuild 7. Please let me know how these do for you and many thanks in advance, this will prove VERY helpful. .7z (236 MB, six different .dll's to try) -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/7augkeqjb00wwkr/chrome-dll.7z?dl=1

Okay, one minute, I'll upload a few chrome.dll test cases. Your situation is perfect as a means to improve the overall product.

Interesting. I see that you are running three instances of 360Chrome and Dr. Watson only triggered on the multiple instances. I do not have Dr. Watson has part of any of my XP installs so about all I can suspect is that this is due to rebuild 8 being rebased at a different address then rebuild 7. Which version are you using (webgl, translation, skin)? I can upload a chrome.dll that is rebased at a different address and see if that solves your Dr. Watson trigger.

I was afraid that might happen. Until I can change all the names, you should be able to right-click and select Save-As and then change the name. Also, save to a directory as close to the root directory as possible, avoid adding too many characters to the path name. I've never liked the default "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Downloads", already at 60-some characters.

Your chrome.dll file needs "rebased". If you upload your chrome.dll and provide a link to that upload, I will "rebase" it for you and send it back to you.

No. There is an intermittent "flash" where the default LIGHT background is presented and then "quickly changed" to dark. It doesn't change "fast enough" and I will never associate my name with that "flash" - it induces migraines and seizures to some folks.

You are bumping it constantly. So be warned, you can be banned from MSFN for doing this kind of IMPATIENT bumping of your topics.

I direct you to Forum Rule 2.a. 2.a Use some common sense. Do not create identical topics or make identical posts in more than one forum. Think before posting and choose the right topic for your question or answer. Do not "bump" newly created topics until at least 24 hours have passed. If a topic has been "bumped" three times without any new replies, please consider reviewing and editing your original post and adding any information which you think may help other members in answering your question(s) or concern(s). When posting, have something to say, not just "My First post!" or "Cool site!!!" We sort of have the idea by now. :-)

Note - there is a known issue if you run this browser with a very long sub-folder file name. Please rename the downloaded file upon download, the names here are only to distinguish their differences. This thread is devoted primarily to WinXP and a Chromium fork based on Chromium v86. Any discussions regarding v86 and its "age" will be reported to the mods as "disrespect" and in direct violation of Forum Rule 7.b. 7.b This community is built upon mutual respect. You are not allowed to flame other members. People who do not respect personal opinions and/or personal work will be warned in first instance. If you ignore the warning and keep on flaming, you will be banned without notice. This project is my personal work that I share with MSFN because there is a need for a "relatively modern" web browser for use in WinXP and v86 has performed "reasonably well" in that regard. The user-base is perfectly aware that XP will not serve 100% of our needs, that v86 will not serve 100% of our needs, we know this and accept this, we are not here to be told to "move on" from XP and what works for us in XP. We The Community can respect this endeavor in the same manner that we respect content shared at MSFN threads devoted to Win98 and Win2000 without trolling such threads and citing "age". Many thanks to all that continue to support this personal work. There is a combination of several versions to choose from. Regular versus Ungoogled -- ungoogled intentionally breaks telemetry sent to the Chrome Web Store, this in turn breaks the "Add to Chrome" feature at the Chrome Web Store so extensions need added via other means. WebGL enabled/disabled -- WebGL may or may not work on older hardware, so mileage may vary. Translation enabled/disabled -- Chromium-based browsers have an embedded Google Translate context menu feature, I offer versions with and without this embedded feature. WinXP / Win10 skin -- I only use this browser in WinXP and therefore I prefer it to look-and-feel like everything else I run in WinXP. Others prefer the more "modern" Chrome GUI and the Win10 skin attempts to please that crowd. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wsch5owpc8yv184/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-disabled_translate-disabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl9ureunhg2k2x7/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-disabled_translate-disabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/whki7vldp655nx1/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-disabled_translate-enabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/59561mewhx0ufzb/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-disabled_translate-enabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3e5m48tzzb30bj/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-enabled_translate-disabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/npnxobadg89m7uj/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-enabled_translate-disabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ithrm1ttt2nypb1/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-enabled_translate-enabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/f2935ei6q5d0w3u/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_regular_webgl-enabled_translate-enabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9t2rul2t5g99ml/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-disabled_translate-disabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqm2tzaum2088ph/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-disabled_translate-disabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqzujgi97cyuf7u/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-disabled_translate-enabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbt5g1pv9nazfo4/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-disabled_translate-enabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/g4g0jdgogoexa3p/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-enabled_translate-disabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/bcsexi8cm5tw2np/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-enabled_translate-disabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/yz8usl2hgsbxtk0/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-enabled_translate-enabled_win-10-skin.zip?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/pi43092cazygjz6/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_r8_ungoogled_webgl-enabled_translate-enabled_win-xp-skin.zip?dl=1
