    Newer Basilisk versions do test better than they did a year or two ago, back on par with late 2019 versions. Not that they varied "that far", but I try to eek out every bit of performance that I can.

    The Basilisk (52) file names will have a -g4.x portion in their file name. g4.1 and early g4.2 versions were the worst performers as far as benchmark tests. Early g4.5 seemed fine but by late g4.5 and anything newer all slowed down considerably compared to the g4.3 and g4.4 versions. And the g4.4 releases tended to slow down a tiny bit with each weekly update. I'm showing the best Basilisk to be basilisk52-g4.4.win32-git-20190727-9b0ff0e8b-xpmod.

    Also while some people get an extra cable TV box for a different room in the house, I have two cable TV boxes right here in my little corner of the universe. And an audio mixer that plays BOTH of the TVs and my brain is trained to be able to follow the audio on one and tune the other out, then switch on a dime and follow the opposite TV and tune out the other. Not that both TVs play 100% of the time, depends on the "news" of the day. And when I watch sports, I only "watch" sports, I seldom actually "listen" to sports (dislike broadcasters not rooting for the same team I'm rooting for!).

    I personally wish there was a way to port the cubeb fix into 27.9.4 and 28.2.2. Or any version, for that matter, but those two are my favorites.

    I was actually scouring some of my archives for an informed answer and @cmccaff1 posted while I was still scouring. I agree with everything that @cmccaff1 just posted. I personally take a "benchmark" approach and one of the benchmarks that I often use is called Basemark Web 3.0 -- https://web.basemark.com/ That particular benchmark would crash NM27 and NM28 - but please note that this pertains to versions a year old or so (I have been focusing more on 360Chrome lately than Roytam builds). But what I found at that time is that the OLDER (two years old versus one year old) versions of NM27 and NM28 would not crash when running Basemark Web 3.0. And you tied my hands in only offering those three options because my benchmarks show Mypal to perform better on low end systems. My personal favorite for low end systems is Mypal version 27.9.4. Mypal version 27.8.3 is also very good for low end systems. As is Mypal version 27.6.2. If I "had to" go with NM27 then my choice would be 27.9.1a1.win32-git-20180707. That version of NM27 should be able to do take anything you throw at it. My secondary backup for "modern" compatibility in the rare cases that 27.9.1a1.win32-git-20180707 won't work, I would use NM28's 28.1.0a1.win32-git-20180922.

    Updated links for my v11 and v12 rebuilds. These now by default assume the user wishes to keep cookies from session to session (my logins would stay logged in from session to session, "mileage may vary"). I personally clear cache and cookies at every browser exit but several users new to my builds prefer session-to-session workability and more advanced users will know how to change settings and the loader .ini for more advanced needs. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2roh9848dwapzy1/360ChromePortable_11.0.2031_rebuild_1.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/55z2z082oeu87m9/360ChromePortable_12.0.1247_rebuild_5.zip

    Can't use Google-supplied themes in 360Chrome. Creating themes for 360Chrome isn't difficult but it can be time-consuming. Navigate to your 360Chrome's folder and hunt for the "Application" folder. It will contain a sub-folder with this naming scheme -- version.0.build.0 For example, I'm posting this from 360Chrome version 11 build 2031 so that sub-folder is named 11.0.2031.0. That sub-folder will contain a "skin" folder. The "skin" folder will contain several .srx files. An .srx file is just a .zip file with the extension renamed to .srx. 7zip will extract them. Extract one of the .srx files and take a peek at some of the files - you should be able to determine pretty quickly if creating a skin will be over your head or within your capabilities. I was actually going to create a Win2k skin a while back but decided the time and effort didn't pique my interest for something that I myself would never use. But it really wouldn't be that difficult for somebody that has the time to throw at it.

    Please post your guide in a thread on MSFN and I will be happy to follow the guide and post my results within that same thread.

    I've opted to remove this from my builds afterall. I like how it pulls your local favicon for a bookmarked URL but dislike it fetching an icon for www.am while I am in the process of typing www.amazon.com, as an example.

    I think that we need a detailed step-by-step guide on how to create the executable. I realize that Pale Moon provides these "details" - but has anyone HERE tried them? I have and they do not work! I have heard LINUX users say that they work, but I have never been able to get them to work in WINDOWS.
  11. NotHereToPlayGames
    My rebuilds use the loader .ini file, Humming Owl rebuilds do not.
  12. NotHereToPlayGames
    That was it! Good find! Trial runs with and without that icon and I'm going to go ahead and keep it. I just didn't like the idea of URL Suggestions or Prediction Services kicking in but this is not related to those features.
  13. NotHereToPlayGames
    lol, no prob. I just didn't want to add it to my next uploaded rebuild if I didn't know "what" it was doing or "if" it was needed. The "_" at the beginning and ending inside the quotation marks is also not needed. Thanks for the find! I personally have no interest in videos (on the computer) any higher than 720p but I certainly understand why the capability needs to be there for those that do have that preference.

    I do not delete these because they are re-created every time that a new browser session is launched. I have not seen these ever get "updated" or "added to" from session to session. By deleting these files, the computer just has to consume CPU cycles and HDD read/writes to recreate a file with each and every browser launch that is otherwise only created when a new profile is created. edit: I do not save passwords and clear cookies and cache on exit, otherwise I suspect that the "Login Data" file would get updated or added to from session to session. But since it does not and I only show it created when a new profile is created, I just let it "sit there" instead of recreating it with each and every browser launch.

    Limited searches on it shows that it is not part of the UA and it's what is called a "field code". More field codes can be found from here -- https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html

    Why the %U at the end of the line?

    360Chrome's Do Not Track "checkbox" DOES work -- https://browserleaks.com/donottrack Whether the websites that you visit adheres to your request or even "listens" for DNT is another story altogether.
  18. NotHereToPlayGames
    DNT (Do Not Track) is useless, in my opinion. https://spreadprivacy.com/do-not-track/ https://www.fastcompany.com/90308068/how-the-tragic-death-of-do-not-track-ruined-the-web-for-everyone Google, Facebook, and Twitter publicly disclose that they DO NOT adhere to "Do Not Track". Do Not Track is about as foolproof as putting a sign on your front lawn that says “Please, don’t look into my house” while all of your blinds remain open and you dance naked in your living room.

    Ouch! I admit that this one comes as a slight shock! I still "trust" 360Chrome and all of our telemetry removals, but this discovery indicates we have more to do. I've been combing through a v11 rebuild with a fine-tooth comb and was looking to remove GUI "checkboxes" for features that do not work (ie, I already remove DNS-over-HTTPS from the GUI because this does not work in 360Chrome). But instead found something present in all of my builds, in a @Dixel build he graciously shared privately (many thanks again), and in @Humming Owl builds. SEVERAL of the "checkboxes" present in 360Chrome's settings pages simply do not do anything! Below is a video of a screengrab using one of @Humming Owl's builds - note all of the "checkboxes" that are UNCHECKED. There should NOT be any "prediction" stuff going on when these are UNCHECKED. Watch the DNSQuerySniffer when I am typing text into the address bar, never hitting Enter, just typing text, backspacing, typing more text. ALL versions of 360Chrome make DNS lookups when text is being typed in the address bar - this to me is a "suggestion" or a "prediction" but I have those "checkboxes" UNCHECKED/DISABLED. Here's the screengrab video -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/jp13acg6ie3cpwh/prediction-service.mp4

    I do! I still have my Commodore 64 - and it still works!

    I'm fairly confident that the "user experience" one does not work. Problem with it though is that it is ENABLED by DEFAULT (for new profiles, I ship mine with a 'new-but-empty profile' so mine ships with it disabled). I don't see it DO anything when it is "enabled", but it is nice to "see" it UNCHECKED.

    To each their own, of course, but I personally have ZERO use for a "dark theme" for my web browser when my computer has five widescreen monitors and a web browser isn't the "only" software I use. I personally find it UGLY to have one monitor with a dark-themed web browser while other programs on other monitors look NORMAL. All five of my monitors do have their contrast/brightness at only 40% so it's not like the neighbors are calling, "Hey, turn off your computer! I can't sleep with all that brightness!". I have considered a "toggle" switch that would switch between two XP themes, one for you "vampires" and the other for us "normal" folks. But I haven't dug deep enough to see if that is possible, some form of "toggle" that would sit down in the lower right corner of the status bar.
  23. NotHereToPlayGames
    That is my version but you changed the skin. I do not have a "dark theme" (and likely never will, apologies).
  24. NotHereToPlayGames
    It's not a knee-jerk reaction. This has been brewing since 2017. I fully support Roytam and hope that Feodor2 hasn't succombed to some form of "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate". But at the same time, despite likely being in the minority here, I also fully support Moonchild Productions remaining a viable browser alternative "for the masses" (XP is not "for the masses", despite my prejudice towards XP Forever!).

    The Pale Moon team agrees with him and is okay with him being "the collective voice" or he would have been removed from the team years ago, it's not like this is "new" behavior, the environment has been "toxic" since 2017 in some circles, 2018 in others. The trailing 12 months have been BRUTALLY TOXIC. I prefer not to take sides, to be honest, but one thing that I don't technically understand or know the history of is "how" we ended up with a "BNavigator" by Roytam 'based on' a Binary Outcast project that to the best of my knowledge IS STILL NOT PUBLIC I do, admittedly, feel like maybe, just maybe, that Roytam kinda steamrolled Binary Outcast and stole his thunder. I realize that "stole" is not the right word here. I use Roytam's "BNavigator" and I keep my eye out for Binary Outcast's website to have a download link, I often wonder if Binary Outcast abandoned the project "because of" Roytam's "BNavigator". If so, I find that just as troublesome as Tobin (and Crew) pulling the plug on Mypal
