Just how do these spammers/bots create an account and how do they decide which threads to spam? Can't be random when this robot hit this thread twice. I'm certainly not going to fall for it and no way in Hades am I going to click on his d@mn estub httpS links. Though I do admit that I am curious if the "padlock" is GREEN on his d@mn estub "secure" links.

re: status bar icons - Correct, they do not exist in DcBrowser. The "Optimize memory" has actually saved me from "possible" crashes on a number of occasions. I get a yellow exclamation systray out-of-memory error on my Core 2 Quad machine because it only has 2 GB RAM. I get the error in v11, v12, v13, and v13.5. Doesn't matter which, they all do it! But I only get it when I have my finance software open, a Microsoft Excel budget spreadsheet open, and two or more tabs open in 360Chrome. One tab and my systray RAM monitor hovers around 80% used. Open a second tab and it exceeds 80% by just enough to flag an XP systray notification. I can generally hit that "Optimize memory" icon right away and drop back down to 80%. It's enough to at least finish whatever finances I'm trying to track then close all but one tab and all is good.

When you go to Device Manager, what is listed under Display adapters?

XP doesn't report the portion of memory that is reserved for graphics.

Thanks. No biggie, my Stylus blocks those "dumb" (in my opinion) images anyway.

The tools at the bottom-right are added by the skin/theme in 360Chrome. In 360Chrome, they are part of the "status bar" which DcBrowser only displays when you "hover" over a link - I personally have zero trust in a status bar that only displays on "hover", I want it to ALWAYS be present.

I use my 360Chrome rebuilds on five different insurance websites, four different billpay websites, too-many-to-count online shopping websites, three different 401k websites, two retirement IRA websites, three credit card websites, two savings accounts websites, and a checking account website. I run a small business out of my home and most of these are business accounts. ZERO worries! Trust it WAY MORE than Firefox builds! Full disclosure - the ONLY browser I trust more is one called Iridium but make sure you disable the Safe Browsing and DNS prediction "features" (there may be others, those two come to mind as enabled by default). I don't personally use it but I am familiar with it. It does require Win7 or higher (which is why I don't use it). The "modified" versions are rebuilds by Humming Owl. There is also a set of modified builds by me that are commonly referred to as "rebuild" and "ungoogled". The two sets exists in separate threads. I encourage trying BOTH and letting your own personal preference dictate which you like best. Me and Humming Owl both remove the telemetry aspects. We do have slightly different approaches but both approaches are effective and extensively tested by a small number of MSFN members. I prefer to go one step further and do a ton of GUI modifications on top of just telemetry removals. Which you prefer is really a matter of personal preference. I suggest trying BOTH and you won't offend either one of us if you opt for his versus mine, mine versus his. Hope that helps and keep us posted.

My Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 GHz w/ 3.5 GB RAM (4 GB physical, XP reports 3.5 GB) [laptop running on BATTERY, my scores are 20 to 40 points LOWER when battery is being charged] -- ungoogled v11 == 408.64 401.41 400.73 401.64 ungoogled v12 == 411.20 418.43 418.22 414.37 Chromium v49 == 522.76 534.37 526.37 521.10 (default User Agent, scores are 10 to 20 points LOWER when my default v49 config fakes a v80 User Agent - but the test still shows v49 so it is smart enough to know I'm not really using v80) New Moon 27.6.0a1 (2017-10-29) == 71.34 74.14 74.87 New Moon 28.1.0a1 (2018-09-21) == 52.80 59.48 59.56 Mypal 27.9.4 == 69.85 71.79 73.20 BNavigator 0.9.7608a1 (20201106) == 48.37 57.45 59.68 Arctic Fox 27.9.19 (December 2019) == 536.39 513.07 521.80 (this was my default browser until several web sites stopped working and I was forced to go Chromium-based) [and the reason for my username due to lack of creativity] Kafan == 334.26 340.11 347.91 DcBrowser == 403.97 355.36 375.12 (very first test was only 85, probably ran it too close to very first launch and DcBrowser must have been "doing something" for "first run" [all browsers do funny "stuff" on "first run" (even if you disable with a flag)])

I can't really do that. But I do have a Core 2 Duo laptop and a Core 2 Quad desktop to get some comparison scores. But those will remain on SP3. I could put an x86 SP2 VM on them but that's likely not the same for true scores.

It does change your username for logging in also. Please change my name from ArcticFoxie to NotHereToPlayGames Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Awaiting reply.

It works fine for only two attendees but as soon as the meeting hits three or more people then everything seems fine on my end but other attendees were constantly asking, "Is anyone else having issues with audio?". So I've had to stick with a Win7 VM and the official Webex App (version 40.9.4-6).

AMD Sempron 3100+ @ 1.8 GHz w/ 2.0 GB RAM to XP x86 SP2, ran four times for a good idea of repeatability range -- ungoogled v11 == 178.18 164.95 151.64 155.83 ungoogled v12 == 151.25 166.37 173.67 172.78 (had one test at 40 and one at 90, assumed CPU was doing something in background so ignored these two results) Chromium v49 == 235.44 261.11 268.64 235.16 New Moon 27 == 31.08 33.17 32.83 31.46 (ran six more times and all results were in the low 30s) Mypal 27.9.4 == 33.32 31.09 39.53 40.77 Kafan Modified == would not run in XP x86 SP2 (maybe this is already known, I haven't been following it) DcBrowser Modified == 72.11 114.43 80.18 35.03 65.14 57.55

I've reverted my AMD Sempron 3100+ @ 1.8 GHz w/ 2.0 GB RAM to XP x86 SP2. Basically got tired of deleting files and registry entries every time I try something in DcBrowser so now I can dedicate this ol' Sempron for those comparisons. This will also give me something I don't mind keeping on a "Windows Classic" (ie, Win2k) OS theme for a future Win2k theme for my 360Chrome releases.

When you change names, does that change my login also? I would like to change my name from ArcticFoxie to NotHereToPlayGames but would prefer my login/password to be unaffected.

Ignored! PROBLEM solved! I feel better already!

You PIECE OF WORK! Who the H#LL CARES! I viewed your profile because I thought to myself, "what a piece of work, what THREAD was that piece of work commenting in, I wasn't going to reply but decide I will anyway". YOU REALLY ARE ONE PIECE OF WORK !!! I had you on IGNORE once, I don't know why you INSIST ON STALKING ME !!!... It's not the other way around like your ego tells you, it is YOU that is STALKING me !!!...

Great Find!

That test is FAST, the results popped up before I even realized the test had started. XP x64 360Chrome v11 scored 748.95 on first run, 763.92 on second run, 777.18 on third run, 745.48 on fourth run. It will not run for me in DcBrowser in XP x64.

I'd also be curious to know if this ties in with "fingerprinting" in any way, shape, or form. Score a ZERO of 42 and you "failed" this new W3C specification but you PASSED "fingerprint vulnerability".

I'm not familiar with this "new W3C specification". I wonder if it's Pass / Fail and a "score" of 1/42 is a PASS and a "score" of 42/42 is a PASS. And a PASS is a PASS, doesn't matter by "how much" ???

I've been working on a "dark theme" to release alongside my publicly-shared rebuilds. One of the nuisances I have found is that I clear my cache with every exit and use "ungoogled" so my GOOGLE cookie is also cleared with every exit. The FIRST visit to Google or YouTube will SOMETIMES be "light" but will always be "dark" if I refresh the page. IRRATATING.

Makes sense, thanks for the info.

Ran the test TEN times on XP x64 SP2 from 360Chrome v11 -- 30 Pass 15 Pass 13 Pass 15 Pass 38 Pass 21 Pass 16 Pass 42 Pass 30 Pass 16 Pass Sorry, zero confidence in a test with no consistent score. Repeating TEN times doesn't have to give the same EXACT result. But nor should it have such a wide range when just hitting REFRESH to repeat the test.

Same exact v11 (ran from USB stick on multiple machines) -- 30 Pass in XP x64 SP2, 38 Pass in Win 7, 5 Pass in XP x86 SP3 single-core AMD Sempron 3100+, 16 Pass in XP x86 SP3 on Intel Core2 Duo T7500, 42 Pass in XP x86 SP3 on Intel Core2 Quad Q6700. If this "test" was truly about the "browser", I shouldn't see such a very wide range when the same exact browser is ran on different machines and different operating systems. A score ranging between 5 and 42 on the same exact browser, same exact operating system, but on different computers? Again, that's not testing the "browser".
