I personally never store passwords in browsers of even ENGLISH origin! I view "browser-stored" passwords as an invitation for hackers and cybercriminals and what we used to call "script kiddies".

I have hundreds of spreadsheets lying around and cannot find the needle in the haystack at the moment, but I run several hundreds of benchmarks on each and every build and then use the best performing build as my base. I do not use the "latest and greatest" by version number because all the Chinese folks did was add telemetry methods to newer builds - who cares when our end result is to remove that telemetry? I will not be updating my v11 build 2031 to build 2251. There is no "advantage" to the higher build number when we are focused on a lightweight browser with no telemetry. Build 2031 performed faster and more efficiently than builds 2000, 2052, 2140, and 2251. The core engine was newer than builds 1027, 1077, 1100, 1216, 1262, 1311, 1393, and 1414. As for Humming Owl's differences - you really have to run it yourself and decide for yourself. I personally *hate* running it because it keeps entries in my Windows Registry and because they throw "nag screens" that you have to hit ESC to unlock the browser. Some folks prefer Humming Owl's versions, some folks prefer mine. No skin off either one of our backs if you opt for the opposite.

Firefox and Chrome do not define "third-party" the same way. Fonts in Firefox versus Chrome is COMPLEX. I've used this in the past, maybe this will serve your needs - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/419363-全局微软雅黑 or https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/419362-全局思源黑体 But the bottom line is that fonts in Firefox versus Chrome is COMPLEX - you will not solve these font differences without leaning on something like Tampermonkey or Stylus.

You will need to teach yourself how to block third-party fonts. You will find thousands of web sites like that and they all have one thing in common - third-party fonts.

LOL... Whoops!

Did you experiment with this flag enabled versus disabled?

Here, this is where you stated 16 MB in 1997. I then cited my Commodore 64 which only had 64 KB.

I did not originally state MB - reread the thread, that was your computer in 1997. Where 16 MB still sounds low for 1997, nobody had GB of RAM in 1997. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-capacity-of-RAM-in-1995-2015

Not sure what you are saying. If the font is normal in 360Chrome but not displaying correct in other programs, then it's not a 360Chrome question and should probably be asked in a general XP thread instead of a 360Chrome thread.

16 megabytes!? That's 250 times more than my first computer. My first computer was a Commodore 64 in 1983 and as its name suggests, it only had 64 kilobytes of RAM!

I did. Saves a lot of RAM running in single-process mode. I haven't done enough with Mypal 68 to know if I really like it or not. I'll wait until it gets to a "stable" release before I run it through the gauntlet.

Same here. I have nine computers and only two of them have LESS than 4 MB RAM. But I still use v11 even on computers with 8 and 16 MB RAM. v11 is by far the "lightest" and the startup time after a reboot or coming out of hibernate is right around 3 seconds whereas v12 and higher is around 6 seconds. My time is too important "to me" to wait that extra 3 seconds, lol. I get it that folks need "newer" for SOME web sites - I do also (my water bill). But I can do 99% of everything I need on v11.

I tried this one and was unable to witness any "automatic discarding". I could discard MANUALLY from the chrome://discards page, but could not force any "automatic discard". I kept loading new YouTube tabs and watching my memory monitor in my systray. As soon as the memory monitor hit 90%, XP threw up its yellow systray icon indicating low memory but 360Chrome did not discard anything but nor would it load more tabs.

I use these three systray programs and only need to glimpse over to the clock area to know RAM, CPU%, disk activity, and network activity -

That's NOT what I see here. Yes, a "new" tab consumes ~100 MB. BUT an "old" tab releases RAM or a "background" tab releases RAM at the same exact time the new tab was created. Just because ONE tab = 100 MB, that does NOT mean that EIGHT tabs = 800 MB. All software "manages" RAM allocation differently, some will "release" RAM only when it sees "90% of RAM in use", some will "release" RAM every 20 seconds, et cetera. During some research sessions, it's not uncommon to have THIRTY PLUS tabs open. 100 MB times 30 = 3 GB, my browser has never used 3 GB RAM.

And my BNav only has one extension where my 360Chrome v11 has seven extensions.

I wouldn't focus too much on "process count". I use Roytam's BNavigator (strictly for texting and email because I don't own a phone) and TWO TABS in BNavigator with only ONE PROCESS uses more memory than 360Chrome v11 with THREE TABS open and FIVE PROCESSES. BNavigator with one texting tab and one email tab = 407 MB 360Chrome v11 with three MSFN tabs open = 118 + 78 + 69 + 69 + 49 = 383 MB

Good point. The only "defect" I see with Proxomitron is on various sites which use Cloudfare captcha fingerprinting, I have to place Proxomitron in bypass for those sites. Few and far between, but they do exist. One example -- https://raybuck.com/firebird-vs-trans-am-history-trivia/

Mypal68 memory usage with the same two YouTube tabs and default multi-process (unaware if Mypal68 can be set to single-process) -

regarding Mypal68 memory usage versus 360Chrome v11 memory usage - My single-core with 1.5 GB RAM is at dad's house (six hours away), so I can only show what I can do here. My low-grade system here is a quad-core with 2.0 GB RAM. For me, the "site isolation" flags makes memory consumption WORSE. And Mypal68 is EVEN WORSE! 360Chrome v11 without site-isolation flags - 360Chrome v11 with site-isolation flags -

The INSTALLER set the browser as the default, no surprise there. But if something else is then set as default, does the "button" inside the settings pages reclaim "default"? I can't really speak from experience on "default browser" - I don't "do" 'default browser'. "To each their own."

"ungoogled" will not affect the default browser button. I personally do not have any web browser set at "default" - I don't want OTHER programs launching a web browser. I see the mere setting of any web browser as a "default" to be a "security risk". But that said, none of the modifications made should affect the default browser button - so if it doesn't work, that kinda tells me it doesn't work in the "official" unmodified Chinese version either.

I think you will only need what is between these two lines (and including these two lines). I've not tried it, but this is how I manually set GreenBrowser as my default.

You can use MANUAL registry entries.
