No, I can not. Perhaps other folks here can teach you how to carry one profile over to a new build, I will be unable to instruct users how to perform "file management" as my file management is unique to my own preferences and not "universally global".

Sweet! Looking forward to giving it a try. I'm intrigued by the idea of a YouTube "front end". But what I observed here on an Intel Core2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz with 3.24 GB available RAM (XP x86 SP3) is that YouTube itself is "easier" on the CPU. Forcing 480p h.264 on both -- Piped CPU ranged from 26% to 39% YouTube desktop (with Enhancer for YouTube extension + Proxomitron) CPU ranged from 16% to 24% Enough of a difference that my CPU fan would flip back and forth between low RPM and medium RPM on Piped but would stay at low RPM on YouTube desktop. The CPU fan flipping back and forth on Piped made for a very unpleasant listening experience compared to YouTube desktop.

Updated links in first post. Ungoogled and Regular. Regular restores Chrome Web Store and Translate to English. Both versions remove context menu "share" entries, resolve English translation when deleting favorites subfolder from bookmark bar, remove "mobile" bookmark context menu entries, think that's all of the changes.

Here's a screencap video that illustrates - https://www.dropbox.com/s/65lbswly2ftrr8c/white-flash.mp4?dl=1 The very FAST white FLASH happens for ALL NEW TABS OPENED. It's so FAST that the video capture did not catch the one before loading Google but you can clearly see the WHITE FLASH when YouTube is loading.

That flag does not change the background color for the DEFAULT about:blank. The default background is WHITE so whenever you open a new web site, you get a very fast flash of white background BEFORE the browser switches the DEFAULT WHITE over to "dark".

I haven't looked into how easy/difficult a toolbar button would be. What I have been experimenting with is an "alternate loader". My loader would load the portable loader but would pass different parameters to the portable loader. For example, hold the ALT key down when launching and it swaps between two skins but remembers the last skin used. Lanuch the loader with no keyboard buttons depressed and it loads whatever skin you used when you last used the browser. Launch the loader with the ALT key depressed and if your last browser session was "light mode", then this session loads in "dark mode". Launch the loader with the SHIFT key depressed and the ungoogled version loads in "regular" mode instead of ungoogled. But it's kind of just a free-time experiment.

Fair enough. But if we're going to play it that way, DCBrowser is of no interest to this thread. This thread is for 360Chrome v13.5 build 2022.

Most of you are aware that I hate hate HATE "dark mode". HOWEVER, with this as a "hobby", I have been experimenting with a dark mode skin off-and-on over the last couple of years (shows how "back-burner" this endeavor is, lol). I cannot bring myself to releasing a "partial" dark mode skin with known flaws right out of the gate. The BIGGEST flaw that I am finding with "dark mode" in XP (though I suspect this to carry over to other OSes) is a very fast rapid "flash" of FULL VIEW PANE WHITE before the browser can "switch over" to dark mode. More commonly referred to as a FOUC.

Does anybody know how to change the default background color for about:blank? The new tab background color can easily be changed, but I'm asking specifically for about:blank.

re: Rep Farming - We may be under-thinking it. The Invision FAQ ( https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/member-functions/reputation-and-reactions-r171/ ) specifically states that "other metrics" are used to establish the "rep" that this thread is discussing. I for one have no clue what those "other metrics" are (can't say as I really care, to be perfectly honest). But in an attempt to think outside-the-box, I think it is probably safe to assume that different scenarios carry a different weight within the formula being used to calculate the "rep". I guess the only example I can think of is Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo referrer strings (the "average Joe" doesn't take the time or have the know-how to block them). I would suspect that if various search engine searches are directly responsible for bringing new members to MSFN, then the post or thread that the search engine directed to here has a higher "weight" then a small handful of folks "liking" several dozen posts every day. But now I may be over-thinking it.

One of my previous jobs of 7yrs provided me with a company phone that was an iPhone 5c. When I taught PLC Programming and Industrial Motor Controls for Journeyman Electricians, the school was equipped with Mac computers. I spent one day on one of them and vowed never to touch a Mac ever again. And I have stuck to that so far.

Only one account. I swear on my mother's grave. R.I.P. 2-1-2022. I've been a reader of MSFN since 2018 or so (when I switched from Official Pale Moon to Roytam1's New Moon). It wasn't until 360Chrome mod's that I became an MSFN Member. And is that for real, jaclaz has been here TWENTY YEARS ???

There is also a post "somewhere" here on MSFN that demonstrated how it was DCBrowser or Mini-Browser, maybe even one of the 360Chrome variants, that was FAKING a "valid padlock" by IGNORING the type of cert that XP cannot recognize. I personally find that very misleading and blatantly false-advertising on the sake of whichever browser it was. I would rather see the "invalid" padlock then have the browser "internals" FAKE a "valid padlock".

Here is one reference - https://msfn.org/board/topic/176344-problems-accessing-certain-sites-https-aka-tls/?do=findComment&comment=1133983 Here is another - https://msfn.org/board/topic/177697-root-and-intermediate-certificates-not-compatible-with-windows-xp/?do=findComment&comment=1153313

It has always amazed me on how many people are willing to "ruin" their computers by trying to get their browser to show a "valid" ssl cert. "Modern" certs will never show up as "valid" on XP. I think it was VistaLover that posted the exact reason "why" but I could be mistaken and couldn't find it "quickly".

Updated Win10 skin -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/mr15hmwqv4h5opc/jisu9_chrome.srx?dl=1

This is what "real Chrome" background tabs look like in Win10. I kind of don't "want" my Win10 Theme to make 360Chrome v13.5 "look like that". But I also know that the "Luna" (XP Theme) is discussed very "negatively" in other forums that I am not a part of but do "stumble upon" here and there. These are mostly Humming Owl followers wanting Humming Owl to port some of my tweaks to his version, excluding the XP skin. But the reality still remains, folks not on XP have a much larger pool of web browsers to choose from and 360Chrome v13.5 is not going to satisfy a crowd that "can" use much newer alternatives.

Kind of all depends on just "how far" do we go with a "10" theme. Technically Win10 Chromium browsers do not have "trapezoid" tabs but rather tabs that all merge together with a "separator bar" between them.

I'm not too sure about that. Once you hang around a forum long enough, you know who is helpful and who is here just for "attention", for "look at me", for "I'm always right and I'm here to prove it to the world", et cetera. When I first joined, I certainly didn't look at that "rep number" to gauge how accurate or helpful replies to any questions were (or were not). And those that don't hang around long enough to witness just who among us is helpful and who among us is not, how can we assume that short-term visitor was gauging anything whatsoever by any "rep number". Granted, I so heavily custom-style-sheet this forum that I haven't seen a "rep number" in over two years. edit - I wonder if a "solution" to the high-frequency posters (which seems is what this thread is mainly discussing [I for one "dislike" visiting the "unread" or "active" link and have to scroll through all of the "clutter"], I wonder if just limiting the number of posts that members can do within an hour or day is the "solution"? I mean, I know I often post "often", but the "clutter" threads are on a whole different "level".

The yellow icon is identical. It's the border and text color causing an optical illusion by contrast. Unless I missed something.

Bookmark padding resolved to match XP Theme. Win10 Theme file replacement -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/8qoxtjqutyn3lyn/jisu9_chrome.srx?dl=1

Several of these entries appear to be carry-overs from v12 or v13 and should not be needed in v13.5.

I wouldn't say "faster/stabler". Most of us use the loader.ini to prevent session-to-session logs.
