Here are a few I've found to be must-have's. Disable AutoRefresh -- https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/16079-disable-autorefresh/code Halt! -- https://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/review/125995 I personally use the one-liner version v0.0 but replace whitelist @include's to run on ALL http and https because I want the OPPOSITE effect of blacklist versus whitelist, ie RUN ON ALL until I tell it not to. Disable Javascript setInterval and timers -- https://kplug-list.kernel-panic.narkive.com/65G6iuYC/disable-javascript-setinterval-and-timers Redirector (v0.1 post at bottom of page) -- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3168944/how-can-i-redirect-some-page-with-javascript-in-greasemonkey

I always thought it was something from Doctor Who (Matt Smith era, 11th Doctor).

360Chrome v13 bocks port 10080 according to https://example.com:10080/

Ha, too funny! Seems to me that most forums send old and locked threads to an archive or sub-forum section, they don't stay-in-the-fray, so to speak, but they remain as "reference material". It is not about offending the eyes of Whoopi Goldberg wearing a Habit, but about keeping the forum neat and tidy and free of clutter. Kind of like the forum offering us the preference option to hide "signatures". I'm not undermining the "quality" of the clutter, but I do have to wonder if some of them have even been visited within the past year. But again, just a tiny suggestion, my Stylus hides the "offense" anyway For the sake of neat and tidy. And because Stylus sheets are a bit of a hobby

I slightly disagree. I personally don't believe in "pinned" threads (and I've been a forum moderator on other forums). The truly important topics will stay at the top by their very nature of constant discussion and new members signing up to chime in. And when a discussion fades into the distance, it should do just that, fade into the distance instead of being artificially placed at the top. As the moderator, you should be able to see if some of those "ancient" threads have even been READ/VISITED within the last YEAR. And if they haven't, or if the visit count is miniscule, then, well, no-brainer, un-pin them "my two cents" and no skin off my back either way (my Stylus hides content I don't specifically white-list, I manually disable whenever I want to see if there is "new" content to white-list).

7 of the 16 "pinned" threads in this forum are "ancient" and taking up space. Do we need to keep them "pinned"? Does not need to be too complex, three-and-only-three options. (Though I considered adding a fourth option, "Add more pins so that we always just skip to Page 2 for new and recent content".)

@roytam1 I've pointed this out several times throughout the years but it seems to remain among the forgotten. The "about:permissions" Permissions Manager is still broken! The last version where the Permissions Manager worked fully was palemoon-27.9.6.win32-git-20190803-23551d191-xpmod.

Easy, Grasshopper! No malfeasance was intended so apologies if you felt that way. Simply offering an alternative solution. 360Chrome is my DEFAULT browser, I believe you once told us that it is NOT your default. BTW, caps are just a bad habit, maybe it's a generational thing, don't know. We could start a poll but my hunch is that those of us that watch this thread because 360Chrome is our DEFAULT (or at least a "majority-use"), that we are using the REPACK versus the "official". Again, no malfeasance intended.

I very STRONGLY suggest using the REPACK version. The hurdles to jump through aren't nearly so GIGANTUOUS as far as telemetry-prevention with the REPACK version. I have personally only witnessed roughly 5% of Dixel's list so I would be curious to see screencaps of evidence that such a huge list is required even under the "official" (non-repack) version. My HOSTS file blocklist suggestions are much much smaller and I've not yet witnessed anything in Dixel's list outside of the below -- 0.0.0.0 browser.360.cn 0.0.0.0 cloud.browser.360.cn 0.0.0.0 dd.browser.360.cn 0.0.0.0 qurl.f.360.cn 0.0.0.0 chrome.360.cn 0.0.0.0 ext.chrome.360.cn 0.0.0.0 u.qurl.f.360.cn 0.0.0.0 puv.tt.browser.360.cn 0.0.0.0 p.ssl.qhimg.com 0.0.0.0 p0.ssl.qhimg.com 0.0.0.0 p1.ssl.qhimg.com 0.0.0.0 p2.ssl.qhimg.com 0.0.0.0 p3.ssl.qhimg.com 0.0.0.0 p4.ssl.qhimg.com 0.0.0.0 p5.ssl.qhimg.com 0.0.0.0 p.ssl.qhmsg.com 0.0.0.0 p0.ssl.qhmsg.com 0.0.0.0 p1.ssl.qhmsg.com 0.0.0.0 p2.ssl.qhmsg.com 0.0.0.0 p3.ssl.qhmsg.com 0.0.0.0 p4.ssl.qhmsg.com 0.0.0.0 p5.ssl.qhmsg.com I've personally not witnessed all of the .p0 through .p5 items, but I keep the full sequence blocked "just in case". I should point out that I delete errorpage.zip and newtab.zip and I've never used the "official" version, only the repack and only with a very large number of tweaks. Too many tweaks to list here, but one of them is to open chrome.dll in HxD Hex Editor and replace all 265 (build 2206) ocurrences of "360.cn" (without the quotes) with "killed" (without the quotes). Another tweak while in HxD Hex Editor is to zero-out the IP Address for "SystemHostResolverCall" (without the quotes).

Normally I would direct you to here -- https://lrepacks.net/repaki-programm-dlya-interneta/182-360-extreme-explorer-amp-portable.html BUT builds 2210, 2212, and 2216 of v13 are all BROKEN as far as ENGLISH (ie, Developer Tools). So I remain on build 2206. A Google search found build 2206 here, I suggest it until the newer releases fix the English in Developer Tools -- https://mega4up.com/c9zq51tq6r6i TAKE CAUTION -- "mega" hosting cites try to "trick" you into the WRONG download link! Click on the Free Download button, fill in the not-a-robot-crap, click create download link, click the click here to download, it will usually open a new tab - CLOSE THAT TAB, it is NOT the real download. Click the click here to download a SECOND time - this should start the REAL download -- the file name is 360_extreme_explorer_13.0.2206.0.zip If it tries to get you to download an .exe, CANCEL the download and click the click here to download again until it finally downloads the ZIP file. NEVER download .exe files from "mega" hosting cites! But that's the only place I could find build 2206 as far as a download link.

Here are two overrides submitted back in Page 16. --enable-low-end-device-mode --enable-low-res-tiling I did not observe any effects when I tried these several months ago but maybe they will on your setup.

Please note that this thread discussed a similar crash back in pages 16 and 17. Tests then showed *better* RAM handling with v13 over v12 and with v12 over v11. It's not so cut-and-dried as looking at RAM amount and doing "simple math" as to which number is larger or smaller - IT IS NOT THAT "SIMPLE". We also have to factor in that v11 is based on Chrome 69 - which does not multi-thread or at the very least is "first generation" multi-threading. Keep us posted as you try v13 (or maybe even v12). As I suspect that NEITHER will have this "crash bug" that I cannot replicate on my hardware but seems consistent on your hardware. Keep us posted...

I assume that you are well-versed in the vast differences between Chrome and Mozilla? They do "processes" differently BY DESIGN. There's a TON of history and a LOT of reading to really be well-versed (I am not). I think 360Chrome v11 is based on Chrome 78 (not positive as I use 360Chrome v13 which is based on Chrome 86 [October 2020]). Serpent/Basilisk55 is basically Firefox v54 with "some" (not sure if it's just a "few" or if it's "most") patches from v55. Firefox v54 was released in June 2017 and Firefox v55 was released in August 2017. Chrome v78 was released in October 2019. Firefox v54 was the first Mozilla release to support multi-threading. I think the first Chrome version to support multi-threading was v70 [October 2018]. You mentioned running an i3 -- you can get an i3 with 2 cores or with 4 cores, which one do you have? For what it is worth, my "slower" computers strictly run MyPal v27. I benchmark on occasion and it just performed better on my slower computers. But I also do not continue where I left off, the slate starts clean with every new browsing session.

No surprise there. It's 2021 -- we can only get Win 98 to do so much, we can only get Win 2000 to do so much, we can only get Win NT to do so much, we can only get Win XP to do so much. But just like when it came out, none of us are wasting our time with Win Me. So, you are closing 360Chrome with 136 tabs open and then telling it to "continue where you left off" when you open it back up? If so, and just for giggles, I just opened 96 tabs in Win10 using official Chrome version 89.0.4389.90, closed Chrome, and let it "continue where i left off" and it CRASHED !!! That was in a VirtualBox VM with 2GB RAM allocated. But evidence that opeing that many tabs "where i left off" could just be 'too much to ask' - even for Win 10 let alone Win XP. "mileage may vary"

NEITHER DO I !!! I can only offer assistance where I can duplicate the claimed scenario here - which I have been unable to do. I have no special cache settings and I do not use virtual memory. I'm on an i7-4770 with 16GB RAM, running 32-bit 360Chrome v13 build 2206 on WinXP x64. I have 32 bookmarks so opened them all SIX times (ie, I opened 192 tabs). I then reviewed Task Manager and only saw 86 .exe's opened. So I then opened all 32 bookmarks in a new window (so now one window has 192 tabs and the other has 32 tabs). I opened two more sets of 32 so now that second window has 96 tabs open. So I now have a total of 288 tabs open. But Task Manager still only shows 86 .exe's (if I counted correctly - I screencap'd below as witness to my test-run). You did cite v11 - how many .exe's does v11 show when you have a *sh!t-L0ad* of tabs open ???

You have UNREALISTIC expectations. Plain and simple. Either you need Chrome and the VAST amounts of web that only CHROME can give you or you do not. Give us a LIST of these 150 to 300 tabs so we can inspect them ourselves. I have a strong hunch that MyPal v27 can handle those 150 to 300 tabs better than anything "newer". "Newer" is simply NOT always "better". Throwing 300 tabs at an i3 - come on man, you can't be serious! Disable ALL .js, disable ALL .css, disable ALL images, view ONLY the TEXT on those 300 tabs and you might be fine that way. I'm with @Vistapocalypse "The solution is obvious. There is no need for 150 open tabs!" NOT ON AN i3 !!! I'd be interested in seeing that list of 150 to 300 tabs so I can gauge for myself which browser can handle that task best.

Out of curiosity and being new to the world of Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/Violentmonkey, what userscripts are users here using?

Didn't say it was for "everyone". In the case of my Autofill extension, the lightning bolt still turns yellow when it performs its tasks - I do NOT need the "badge" also. In the case of my Redirector extension, I only disabled the "on" indicator, it still displays "off" when it is off. I'm providing a means-to-an-end for OTHERS that see those badges as EYESORES. If that isn't you, no skin off my back My extensions are ALL OR NOTHING - either I browse with ALL of them on/enabled, or I browser with ALL of them off/disabled (ie, Incognito Mode). But like I say, "not for everyone". Guess I forgot to put my "mileage may vary" footnote, lol.

Here's a new find I thought I'd share (at least new to me). I don't use a "ton" of add-ons/extensions but one of the eyesores for the few that I do use is the "badge" that some extension authors provide a config setting to disable and other extension authors do not . Without diving "too deep" into the details, Chrome extionsion .crx files and Firefox extionsion .xpi files both can be extracted via 7-Zip (to name just one program). We do it quite a bit around here to modify manifest.json for min/max browser versions, for example. Once you extract the .crx/.xpi for the extension you seek to modify, you'll find several .js files (sometimes just dropped in a root directory, sometimes in their own sub-folder). Drag-and-drop all of the .js files into Notepad++. Now do a Ctrl-F (find) for "badge" (without the quotes) and select the "Find All in All Opened Documents" button. In the results, you'll likely see Text/Color and Background/Color items in only one of all of the .js files - that is the .js file we will modify. Look for text: contained within parentheses followed most likely by a varialble name or actual text/number inside of single-quotes. To turn the "badge" OFF, replace the variable name with two single-quotes and no space between, ie '' . If the text: contains actual text inside of single-quotes, simply delete the actual text but keep the two single-quotes. Save and repack the .crx/.xpi and install into your browser. Or, simply just modify the .js file in the browser's Extension folder/sub-folder.

Um, is this a "real" post/enquiry ???

Much appreciated, @VistaLover NONE of your suggestions worked - BUT they were enough to get me moving in the right direction with a little over two hours of trial-and-error, so many thanks! And I may have inadvertently mislead (apologies) - I cited two about:config settings from my MyPal / New Moon profiles (one for autorefresh, one for onbeforeunload). I couldn't post a test URL because I only allow javascript on a whitelist basis so I actually only encounter this "nuisance" on one of my requires-login web sites. And the "nuisance" is only after I log out. Admittedly, I tried over a dozen extensions from the Chrome Web Store before posting my enquiry - I couldn't get any of them to work and in frustration I gave up and posted my enquiry. I have been using Stylem/Stylus for years and it's one of my biggest must-have add-ons. I've never bothered with Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey and therein was the FIX for this nuisance - again, many thanks! The cited archived userscript did not do the trick because unbeknownst to me at the time, the nuisance was a META refresh. And I was able to find a UserScript at Greasy Fork to disable it -- https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/16079-disable-autorefresh/code

Assistance, please. I've always used these two about:config entries to block browser redirects. 1) accessibility.blockautorefresh boolean true 2) dom.disable_beforeunload boolean true Does anyone know how to block "beforeunload" redirects in Chrome-based browsers?

The standard unpacker ( https://github.com/myfreeer/chrome-pak-customizer ) does work on YandexPortable 19.6.1.153, but it does not work on YandexPortable 17.4.1.919. My Yandex download source is SourceForge - https://sourceforge.net/projects/thumbapps/files/Internet/Yandex Browser/ So I tried YandexPortable 17.11.1.988 (last of the v17 but does not work in XP, 17.4.1.919 is last XP as far as those hosted on SourceForge) and it did unpack with the standard unpacker. So then I tried YandexPortable 17.6.0.1633 (the first release not available to XP users) and it did unpack with the standard unpacker. Then I tried YandexPortable 17.4.0.2383 (first in the 17.4 series) and it did not unpack. So it appears the non-standard resources.pak format is only with the XP versions.

Agreed! @Dixel, I was not pushing some conspiracy, I was attempting to decompile Yandex Browser in the same fashion I have done with 360Chrome, nothing more. @i430VX - when you open Yandex's resources.pak in EditPad, you had to scroll down several rows to get to your screencap. Here's what I see when I open Yandex's resources.pak in EditPad. Basically, those blue horizontal lines are separations between File #1, File #2, File #3, et cetera. What I want to be able to do is open File #1, for example - but you can NOT without UNPACKING resources.pak. 360Chrome's resources.pak has 1,561 files contained inside it (at least my modified resources.pak, I may have deleted some resources), and I can open each and every one of them, edit, and repack as a .pak. There's some .json, some .js, some .html, some .png, and several hundred files without an extension - all of them can be opened and studied, modified if desired, saved and repacked. ungoogled-chromium-86.0.4240.198-1_Win32's resources.pak has 1,622 files contained inside it - I can open every single one of them. Chromium v49.0.2623.112's resources.pak has 1,647 files contained inside it - I can open every single one of them. Conspiracies aside, I should be able to unpack Yandex's resources.pak so I can see what's inside - but the standard unpackers will not unpack it. My curiosity exists solely in attempting a new skin/theme and moving the tabs to the middle and perhaps even bypassing the "tableau" altogether. I'm NOT a fan of Yandex - but I do like to "tinker" and reconstruct software here and there - but Yandex doesn't follow the historical norm of Chrome-based browser files as far as unpacking and repacking.

That's exactly what I use for 360Chrome (where resources.pak for build 2206 is 5.2 MB). But it does not work for Yandex (where resources.pak for version 17.4.1.919 is close to FOUR TIMES the size at 20.2 MB). So I can't help but be curious as to what is HIDDEN inside resources.pak that the creator doesn't want us to see by using conventional unpack methods. I also have to wonder if creating a resources.pak that cannot be unpacked by the end user is even in agreement with terms between Yandex and Chrome/Chromium.
