Agreed. And at least with it, the end user can still modify parts of the GUI via Stylem (last I checked, that is). One of my most GIGANTIC beefs against Chromium is that there is no TITLE BAR. THANKFULLY Mypal 68 still has a Title Bar. I still look forward to Mypal 68's "stable release". It's really about the ONLY thing I see on the horizon that would get me to return to Mozilla-based.

VERY possible! Because v13.5 always locks up for me after every hibernate or reboot. The very first launch after a reboot/restart/unhibernate "spawns" differently than every launch thereafter. And for me, that first launch always locks up in v13.5 and v13.5 only. I can't (ie, choose not to) post in Chinese or Russian forums or I'd post it to "upstream" folks. Given the nature (hover only, six+ downloads only), I can see why nobody ever noticed it for so long.

I wouldn't go that far, but yeah, agreed. I'd have to see how an emoji-tab renders in an "official" Chromium versus Mozilla. I do recall that Mozilla Roytam/Feodor adds an emoji font (TwemojiMozilla.ttf) because I always intentionally delete it. Unsure if "official" adds this font. I guess I'm just "used to" seeing little boxes here and there because I do prefer to block a crapload of unneeded fonts

I have been unable to replicate this on five different computers. Unless another v13.5 user can report this also, I kinda have to assume this is only on your system. I cannot find this and the Chinese also appears in the Russian Repack, suggesting they could not isolate this button either. With it only being an on-hover and only being when six or more downloads are downloading, seems too much or a rarity to worry too much about. I'll keep digging for curiosity, but it's not looking like it's going to be in any of the normally-modified files.

I'll see if others can resolve this. I delete and disable Segoe UI fonts on all of my machines because sub-pixel / anti-aliased fonts give me migraines.

Agreed. We need a TEST SITE for the tab font emojis. I see a "Magrinho" YouTube tab which seems to be an example, but I viewed the source code and I am not being sent the "square" (missing font) that your screencap is showing before the "Mc". And I could also only find a "bass boosted" version of that song which sounds outright TERRIBLE on my speakers, all CRACKLE AND STATIC (thought that is a bit "off-topic", lol).

Dave-H -- disregard, found it. Will dig a little deeper on this when I track down that remaining Chinese.

@Dave-H - What was the possible telemetry address that was a suspect in v13.5? Do you recall?

I had him check that in Post #2 - but I do like your link better

@UCyborg - I am curious to know if your Microsoft.com example still works if your "fix" line is changed to fix: ["std-customElements"] I am curious because the Babel-translated script for your example contains 7 hits for "customElements" but zero hits for "PerformanceObserver" and zero hits for "queueMicrotask".

So far, the answer has been that the end-user will have to do this manually for each and every web site that said end-user wishes to restore functionality. The best example thus far has been one by @UCyborg here -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/183484-polyfill-whats-all-this-then/?do=findComment&comment=1216216 I have personally not been able to repeat this on an American Water web site but I haven't fully given up yet. It is not a trivial process, the average end-user will not have the patience to do this manual process for every web site they encounter. I also am attempting via chromefill whereas UCyborg was successful only via palefill. (I have not been able to get American Water to work with non-polyfill NM28 with palefill.) UCyborg's process is fairly easy to follow, once you narrow down the problematic script (his test site only has two, American Water's test site has over 200 scripts). He narrowed the "??" issue down to this script -- https://docs.microsoft.com/_themes/docs.theme/master/en-us/_themes/scripts/d48a1159.index-docs.js If you open that script and paste the contents into Notepad++ and do a search for "??" (without the quotes), you will find 34 hits. Now open this web site ( https://babeljs.io/repl ) and paste the script contents into the left pane (center pane if you include the far left settings pane, keep all of them at their defaults) of Babel. Give it a few seconds and the translated script will appear in the right column. Copy and paste the right column into a new tab in Notepad++. Now do a search for "??" (without the quotes) for the new script - you will now have 0 hits. So "all of that" was required in order to "magically" convert the polyfill "??" to something that will work in a non-polyfill web browser. But you still need to add palefill or chromefill extension depending on Mozilla or Chromium based browser. And you still need Proxomitron Reborn to have your web browser replace the original script with the converted script. Problem there is going to be this - very few folks here at MSFN seem to be interested in Proxomitron Reborn (I've used it since 2004 (the original, the Reborn is not that old) and I still don't fully understand "everything" that it is capable of doing!).

I'm not seeing this modify-date issue in any of my 7 or XP computers. It pretty much has to be a "background process" or system "service", or so it seems. Make sure that "system restore" is disabled (at least just to rule it out as a culprit, though I personally never use "system restore" as I have my own backup/restore), make sure that "indexing" is disabled, make sure that your hard drive is not being "defragged" (this is not the 1990's anymore).

XP has a built-in program called "Paint". Hit the "PrtScn" button on your keyboard while the Task Manager "Processes" tab is open then open "Paint" and either use Ctrl-V or the menu pulldown to "paste" what the Print Screen button copied. Make sure that the Task Manager window is maximized so that all processes are visible.

Can you submit a screencap of Task Manager's "Processes" tab?

Do you have examples of OTHER web browsers displaying emojis in the tab name? I'd actually do the opposite if my browser tried to do that, I'd remove/disable emojis in the tab name, why would a web developer place an emoji in the tab name?

Don't forget that this is just a very early Beta. I don't think Feodor2 is expecting anybody to actually be "using" this yet.

Do you know the "function" that button performs? Is it just an "OK" that all downloads are completed or does it open the "Download Manager"?

I strongly suspect that right there is your issue. The dominant concensus here at MSFN a couple years ago is that the Russian Repack did not remove all of the Chinese telemetry. That was one of the reasons that Humming Owl and ArcticFoxie released their modifications. Have you monitored network traffic by using something like DNSQuerySniffer to verify that you don't have telemetry issues? https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/dns_query_sniffer.html

Have you tried removing 13.0.2216.0 completely (including Windows Registry keys) and starting with a clean profile? If a clean profile and clean registy entries still crashes, then my next suggestion would be remove 13.0.2216.0 (Humming Owl's build version), remove Windows Registy entries, and use 13.0.2206.0 (ArcticFoxie's build version) and see if you still have crashes.

This should restore GitHub but it won't restore all polyfill issues for Chrome 70 -- https://github.com/InterLinked1/chromefill

Are you running any anti-virus programs that may be causing the crashes?

Hmm, no issues with that file size and timestamp. Kinda don't have any more ideas at the moment.

What is the file size and timestamp for a file called "Top Sites" (no file name extension) in your profile folder?

Not true. This is not a "Mozilla Only" forum and not all of us can use Mozilla-based browsers. Glad it works perfectly for you though Edit - Can't re-find the web site that was not rendering fonts correctly. But not important until Mypal 68 goes "stable".

Humming Owl and I both tried to warn you in advance that any translations would have to be abbreviated. It is personally why I did not undertake the project myself but applaud Humming Owl's endeavor.
