Did you follow this from that discussion -- From what I have so far, it is best to allow "QuotaManager" and "QuotaManager-journal" but then let the loader .ini delete them when 360Chrome is closed.

Are the subfolders always the same name? Also, regarding the loader, does anyone know if it can COPY a file upon every browser exit?

Many extensions will no longer work if you don't keep that extension's subfolder. But if you want to delete *.* then just delete the entire parent folder instead - DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\IndexedDB

Agreed. That has been a big nuisance of late. But I am also reminded of a year or so ago when we had "two" forum members that always liked each other's posts, no matter how "useful" or unuseful the posts actually were. It was rumored that the "two" forum members was actually only ONE PERSON "liking" their own posts just for the sake of that USELESS "reputation". To the point of even "yelling at" OTHER forum members for not "liking" their posts when this "person" liked any other forum member's posts. It's a "generation thing", I suspect. I have no interest in "social media" web sites but MOST of them all "thrive" on the "like" button and how many "followers" the user is able to "collect". So yes, unfortunate, but we have members here at this forum that carry that "Instagram", "Twitter", "Facebook", et cetera "look at me, I have 2000 followers" mentality herein and falsely think it "means something".

Disabling DirectWrite is the ONLY flag that I use.

I "never" really notice any true difference with all of the video-related settings. Font clarity is much more important to me than video. I roll-on-the-floor in laughter at my brothers and their 65" TVs that they spent $3,000 for. The picture clarity on my 4k 55" TV that only ran me $154 is much more my style.

I may explore distributing patch .exe's. Would this violate MSFN Forum Rules? So far, I'm looking at something like this (have not tried yet but open for suggestions) - https://www.hhdsoftware.com/free-hex-editor#f-22

lol, we crossed in posting, which tells me it took 23 minutes for me to create that screencap

I don't recall a thread on manually adding extensions. There are two types of extensions that can be added - one that is "packed" and one that is "unpacked". An "unpacked" extension requires Developer mode. I am assuming that you are asking about manually installing a "packed" extension. A "packed" extension is an extension in one file with a file name ending in .crx. A .crx file is essentially a .zip file renamed as a .crx. To manually install a .crx extension, have your file manager open to the window containing the .crx and have 360Chrome open to the extensions page then drag-and-drop the .crx file onto the extensions page "white space".

Yep. Total stalls: 0 stall time: 0ms Though I'm kinda thinking now this is more of a "buffer" test than a "video" test.

Video "test" for reference -- https://dougsillars.github.io/StreamOrNot/ Should give a quantitative measure of "stalls" when playing back video. Have not tested in a 2 MB GB RAM environment yet.

As far as that goes, you could install ANY NUMBER of my browsers all onto the SAME user account and none of them will conflict with each other as long as you only have ONE of them running at a time. You only need to put them all in their own sub-folder and launch them all from their own 360Loader.exe. Here I have three of my versions (v13.5, v11, and v13) all installed in their own sub-folder inside the sub-folder "Miscellaneous". All are on the same user account and all three can be ran without conflicting with each other, again as long as only ONE of them is running at a time.

Yes, you can. My browser version is "portable" and is not supposed to retain anything in the registry. The only problem that could arise is if you use my version and a non-portable version also and then my version "sees" the registry of your non-portable version. Every user account contains its own desktop and documents folder. Just extract the portable 360Chrome into one of these user account folders and make sure not to use the "public" or "default" user account folders.

Agreed!

I'm open for suggestions if there is something better/easier than HxD. I actually "kind of" dislike HxD in the sense that the "portable" has to be executed from an .exe (at least if memory serves) rather than just extracted.

Agreed. I am personally leaning towards not having the Translate to English feature and to keep it out of the context menu. But at the same time, I don't want it to be too "complex" for other users to restore the feature if their preference differs from mine. Does Firefox "embed" its own 'translation service'?

Too much of a hassle. For "conversations", I just copy and paste into the reply box in fractions of a second. Then delete the profile attachment when that conversation is over.

Me too! It's not "my" continent that is ever the "problem". But this is fairly standard when working for international companies, especially when "intellectual property" is protected.

Correct. What I observed is that the favicon, Roboto font, player css, and polymer js/css were always loaded in the same exact order. I based my times on the last of them, which always occurred AFTER the page started to do its "fade in" stuff.

They do. The problem there is that several phones steal network IP Addresses when plugged into USB Ports even if only plugged in to be charged.

Not for the most part. The "problem" arises due to IT Departments on three continents. All three get "automatic notifications" if any computer on the network pings any blacklisted domain. It is only then that one of those continents in particular will raise holy h#ll if it was open source software (such as Chrome, Chromium, or Firefox) that pinged the black list.

Oh, and funny story on YouTube for at work. Engineering Department. And it's an HR rule that any audio be played on headphones and never on computer/laptop speakers. The ads "in the middle" of YouTube videos are somehow blocked by the company server, but YouTube still plays "silence" that cannot be fast-forwarded for the duration of that "in the middle" ad. But the ads BEFORE or AFTER a video are not blocked by the company server. We are forced to use Edge at work (company is international and you will have your computer locked if you put ANYTHING on the computer that is "open source", we've had people FIRED for using "open source" software!). And our extensions have to be approved by IT Departments on three different continents. I got "Enhancer for YouTube" approved because it blocks ads before and after videos for feminine hygiene, razors, bras, and panties and it wasn't difficult to convince IT Departments that we should block them "in a corporate environment", lol. edit - they used to block YouTube entirely, but they found it forced them to loosen restriction on USB Ports so that we could listen to music that way instead.

Yep. One of my favorites! I couldn't get through an 8hr day without it, lol. The other YouTube extension I use extends ad-blocking to "annotations" - which I can't say for 100% if I still need that one or not. edit - confirmed, still need the annotation-blocker also.

Awesome!

Still works great for me. I never read those "reviews". They are ALWAYS biased. And often posted by somebody that doesn't know what they are doing to begin with. I have 4 GB RAM on all of my XP x86's, 16 GB RAM on this XP x64, and 32 GB RAM on all my Win7's and Win10's. I will take a larger extension to not have to look at these ads which are still shown when using your "tiny" extension but NOT shown with my setup.
