Status update - Future releases will no longer be offered as one download for "regular" and one download for "ungoogled". I will now be releasing what will be labeled as an "aio" (All In One) release. The "regular" and the "ungoogled" only differ in one URL inside one API inside one file (resources.pak). Both resources.pak file will be included in the "aoi" but will default to "regular". Several AutoIt .exe files will be contained within the same folder that contains the 360Loader .exe/.ini. These AutoIt files are run-when-needed files for the end user to change between various file structures. Run the "Ungoogled Mode" AutoIt file and it creates the correct resouces.pak file so that next time you run the 360Loader, it runs as "ungoogled". Every future launch of 360Loader runs as "ungoogled". Run the "Regular Mode" AutoIt file and it creates the correct resources.pak file so that the next time you run the 360Loader, it runs as "regular". Every future launch of 360Loader runs as "regular". The end user could also opt to shortcut the AutoIt files instead of the regular 360Loader. Click the "Ungoogled Mode" shortcut and you launch as "ungoogled". Click the "Regular Mode" shortcut and you launch as "regular". The profile is shared between both modes. What this is going to extend into is also having an AutoIt file for the user to set their theme (if we had non-English folks interested in 360Chrome, we could use this method to also set translation files - but that user-base doesn't seem to exist). The "aio" will be uploaded with the default file structure for "Regular Mode" and for "XP Theme". If the end user wants "Dark Theme" as their default, they execute the "Dark Theme" AutoIt file and it will create the proper file structure so that every future launch of 360Loader runs with the "dark theme".

Agreed! And nowadays you actually stand out like a sore thumb and uniquely identify yourself when you falsely think you are "hiding". Fake a Win10 User Agent and you've added your needle to a gigantic haystack nearly impossible to find. Fake a cell phone User Agent then play a video four times the resolution of every cell phone on the market, you've told them EXACTLY who you are because you're the only person on the planet viewing such a large video resolution on a "cell phone".

Cool links. I chuckle at their writeup on Iridium -- https://spyware.neocities.org/guides/iridium.html I mean, in so far as those "settings" are always touted as "protection" and I wonder how many less-informed users enable them "in blind trust".

I personally have zero doubt that you are capable of such. But I also do strongly feel that "most" Firefox users (MSFN members excluded!) flock to Firefox not because they possess such capabilities but rather a BLIND TRUST towards Firefox. I have always found much more telemetry crap in Firefox browsers then I've ever found in Chromium browsers - though BOTH have TONS by "default". I have always found it very interesting how some folks (again, MSFN members excluded!) will 'pledge an allegiance' toward any one browser yet be totally clueless on the shenanigans that their own "trusted for years" beloved browser is doing behind their backs. edit: I should point out that I've always used ungoogled-chromium and never use "official" Chrome. Likewise, I've always used Pale Moon, Mypal, and New Moon and never use "official" Firefox.

360Chrome v12+ (does not work on v11). Current default is 360Chrome v13.5. Yep, both work on XP. I use Google Voice tied to a former employer's email address (that I still do consultant work for from time to time). I believe in Privacy Rights but at the same time have no desire to live in a shack in the hills with no electricity and only an outhouse for a restroom and a horse to tie to the light pole when I run into town. I don't believe in Privacy Rights to such an extreme where I can't bring myself to using Google versus DuckDuckGo and so Google Voice it is, free, zero phone bill, free texting, free phone calls. If you own a computer and it is connected to the internet, don't kid yourself for one second into thinking you "live off the grid" no matter how many hoops you jump through in the name of "privacy" and "security".

I personally do not own a phone (no land line, no cell phone, do all my calls for free from the computer [well, I pay for internet service, obviously]). My neighbor is currently being hit with the same no-3G early next year. Her company only pays out an annual "stipend" of $600. She is basically being forced to upgrade her phone and everything is all 5G and she's looking at $2,000 for a new phone!

I can't help but laugh that the original question was posted six months ago. And I second-vote Arctic Fox (it is no coincidence that my username is named after that browser).

Technically impossible. The only difference is basically no different than a HOSTS file entry.

Updated link in first post for v13.5 rebuild 3. Only file that has been updated since rebuild 2 is the iframe.srx file inside the Chrome\Application\13.5.1030.0\skin folder. Restores certificate padlock details dialog.

Noted, thanks.

The "restore" banner is very useful - to those that keep cookies and/or cache from one session to the next. The "restore" banner is totally useless - to those that delete cookies and/or cache from one session to the next. Unfortunately, that banner isn's smart enough to know if there is a session to restore or not so I kinda have to keep it, useful or useless. Ideally, we end up with something that never crashes or crashes so seldomly that it's not an issue one way or the other.

Isolated to alpha_3. Should have this corrected tomorrow.

#4 -- Yes and No. Yes if you change skin/theme to dark. No if you use my uploaded build as-is without making skin/theme changes. I will be making a dark theme eventually. #3 -- Don't click on the share link and the popup doesn't pop up. Or are you getting a QR Code popping up without clicking a link or context menu item first? I have not found a way to remove it from the context menu. #2 -- Good Catch! Didn't notice that until you mentioned it. I'll see what I can find. #1 -- Seems to be the result of hundreds of modifications, to be honest. I chose to NOT do any "blind" replacements and combed through the chrome.dll file line by line.

Hmmm, interesting. Will research and report back. I delete cookies and website data on every exit so my preferences file does not contain any data, but I do acknowledge that clearing cookies and website data on every exit shouldn't be the "only" way to utilize 360Chrome "comfortably".

But geniuses at turning a "paragraph" into "six words", mispellings and all, and the recipient can still somehow miraculously piece it together.

I've never once, ever, went to a search engine to research something and open up dozens upon dozens of informative results, research links leading to more research links, all very informative, never once have I ever landed on anything called "Discord". Reddit, yes. Even MSFN, yes. But never once has a search engine landed me on "Discord". So yeah, dead serious, never heard of it. Text/talk via voice and post gifs -- sounds like Snapchat or Instagram - if you don't mind the rib-jab, that sounds like the targeted audience is pre-teen and teen without the ability to focus on a topic and read any sentence with more than six words, throw some punctuation marks in there and you've totally lost them

I thought the Roytam thread had discussions regarding "polymer" and "Discord" ??? I don't recall and wasn't involved with the discussion because I have no clue what "Discord" is and never heard of it until users had issues with it and posted here on MSFN.

I've verified the blank page here and my normal "tricks" aren't finding any workaround.

Not sure if it's possible, to be honest. I'll do some digging. But my hunch is that the nag window can be removed (I personally remove the "360Chrome crashed. Click 'Restore' to restore previous session" banner [because my loader .ini deletes the session and there's nothing to actually "restore"]). But in the case of that nag window, your browser would APPEAR locked up even though all that would be required is (most likely) having to hit the ESC key because while the nag window isn't there, the browser is still waiting for a nag window button to be pressed.

You can get around that by installing your extension in a different way. Download your extension .zip or .crx source file -- in your case, here is your source file - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases?page=4 --> https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/download/1.26.2/uBlock0_1.26.2.chromium.zip Extract the .zip or .crx to a folder location of your choice. Personally my very next step is to delete any-and-all non "en" locales but this is personal preference to make the extension a tad more "lightweight" (and I'm never going to use non "en" anyway). I often make other modifications and seldom use extensions "as-is", but that's a whole different story. Now open the Extension Manager in 360Chrome. Do not install from the extracted folder. Instead, select the Developer mode checkbox in the upper right corner of the Extensions Manager. Click the Pack extension button. Click the Browse button for the Extension root directory field. (Leave the Private key empty.) Click the Pack Extension button. That will create TWO files (a .crx and a .pem). Unselect the Developer mode checkbox. DRAG AND DROP the .crx onto the 360Chrome Extension Manager page. You shouldn't have that nag window if you install your extensions this way.

Cool. Added update notes to first post. Slightly different steps but basically the same process. For users of Roytam releases, the same process is used to update his builds when using the PORTABLE LOADER (you just delete the old BIN folder contents and replace with the NEW files). PORTABLE browsers really are easy to maintain once you get the hang of 'em.

The easiest way is to extract the updated version then use your file manager to navigate to the Chrome\Application folder. In that folder will be two folders (version.x.build.0 [ie 13.5.1030.0] and components) and two .exe files (360chrome and wow_helper). Copy those two folders (and all of their contents and sub-folders) and two .exe files. Now navigate to the folder where your previous files are and navigate to its Chrome\Application folder. Delete the two folders and two .exe files that are already there. Paste the two folders (and all contents and sub-folders) and two .exe files that you copied from the latest update that were extracted in a separate folder. You have to do all of that with 360Chrome closed.

Puts them on par with the way SRWare Iron and Chromium do things by reverting to base functionality and removing Google telemetry. We remove Chinese and Russian telemetry, why would we keep Google telemetry? One of the four embedded Google API's (it's called Cloud Print) has been around since early 2010 in Chrome OS and embedded into Chrome browsers and enabled by default since Chrome v10 in early 2011. Cloud Print (and Adobe Flash) were officially axed in December 2020 - why would we keep them in any "modern" browser rebuild? Those that "want" Flash (or Widevine, as another example, or WebGL and SwiftShader as other examples) generally know how to add them in themselves and also know the risks associated therein. I leave those to user discretion but offer basic functionality out-of-the-box in hopes of greater stability without excess bloatware. I opt to remove a Feedback API and an Identity Scope API for reasons that their name alone should make your skin crawl. I don't recall the fourth one offhand but do know that I remove four API's - I think it was an ancient PDF Viewer where 360Chrome views .pdf's without it so why keep it?

I tested in alpha_10 and it gives the same exact results as rebuild_2.
