As far as benchmarking goes, it seems that v12 is the fastest for browser metrics out of v11, v12, and v13. Startup time for the first run after returning from hibernate or a full reboot is won by v11 - quite literally HALF the startup time! For browser metrics, v12 wins. For loading the GUI the fastest, v11 wins. I find the browser metrics all close enough to each other that I'm opting for v11 as my default based on that startup speed. Integrating "support" for XP x86 SP2 seems to have really HURT the browser's startup speed!

I don't think that there is anything that I (nor Humming Owl) can do about that. If the original Chinese version does not support XP x86 SP2, there is nothing that either one of us does in our rebuilds that will change that.

I guess when I think about it, it does make sense that all three versions consume identical RAM when all three versions have the same exact 20 YouTube tabs open. I guess I kind of was assuming that v13's RAM would be higher than v12's RAM which in turn would be higher than v11's RAM -- but this is not the case, all three versions consume the same EXACT amount of RAM.

My rebuild v11 does keep logins (once we make the changes we have already discussed, I generally have the options set to clear everything). Here is a BETA version of my rebuild v11 -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/xqyftttpx20rsnv/360ChromePortable-v11%20-%20in-process-14%20-%20BETA.zip This is 90% complete - all of the telemetry has been removed and this is fully-functional. I still have some GUI and English translation strings to go through. The BETA version already has the save-logins settings and keep-cookie settings set and should be ready for you to use as-is for your needs.

Does anyone have any suggestions for monitoring browser RAM? Not the OS RAM, but RAM used only by the browser. This one looks promising -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cpu-and-memory-performanc/nmpbhigddhbbhopeeagpnnmnihgagbfk But I find it very strange that I can load TWENTY YouTube tabs into 360Chrome v11, 360Chrome v12, and 360Chrome v13 and the amount of RAM being used at IDLE and with TWENTY YouTube tabs is IDENTICAL across all THREE versions!

Open this link -- chrome://settings/content Make sure that under the Cookies section that the "Allow local data to be set" option is selected. My v11 GUI may be worded differently that Humming Owl's v11 GUI -- you should have three "circle options" and then two "square options" in the Cookies section, you need for the FIRST/TOP "circle option" to be selected. Not sure if you will need the two "square options" unchecked or not.

Open this link -- chrome://settings/advanced Click the "Clear browsing data" button then uncheck "Delete cookies and website data" option. If you like keeping data between browsing sessions, you may also want to uncheck "Clear selections every exit".

No prob. I have been in-process of rebuilding a v11 and plan to use it as my default-for-all for the sake of less RAM consumption. I think I showed v12 testing "slightly" higher in most benchmarks but v11 is "lighter" and loads the GUI faster so it's a slight tradeoff. Both are rock-solid and neither one has yet to ever crash on andy of my systems.

Device Manager -> Display adapters -> Nvidia GeForce FT 635 -> Properties -> Driver lists my driver version as 6.14.13.4788 and is dated 3/13/2015.

Found it! When you are browsing a time.com article on 360Chrome v11 (or v12/v13 with scripts disabled), open your Developer Tools (F12), scroll to the top of the Elements tab HTML code but below the "Time text cartoon", highlight the body line, then over in the Styles section UNCHECK the "position: fixed" entry. Now the article will scroll in v11 (and in v12/v13 with scripts disabled). Hope that helps.

Disregard. You will NOT get time.com to work using ANY user agent. I get the same page from a "new" UA, an "old" UA, a mobile UA, an iPad UA, an iOS UA, a Mac UA, "old" Firefox, "new" Firefox, Opera, even an IE6 UA. I've personally never witnessed a website until just now that served the same exact page to an IE6 UA that it serves to Firefox and even Mac. Time.com is clearly NOT using UA and might be using other "techniques" too new for 360Chrome v11 (Chromium v69).

Did you try going the other way with the User Agent? Don't pick something "new" but pick something "old".

I can recreate the time.com article issue in my own rebuild of v11 on XP. I'm not far enough into my rebuild yet to test a few extensions but my hopes are for v11 to become my default-for-all (have already confirmed Google Voice, Google Sheets, Dropbox, MSFN, and YouTube - which have kind of become my "test sites"). v12 actually seems like the best balance of being able to render everything I throw at it (I don't do WebGL) yet being "lightweight". v13 works 99% of the time for me. But that 1% is too unpredictable and I moved on to v12 as my default-for-all. v12 has been rock-solid, stable, efficient, and very light. A few members have posted their comparisons of v12 and v11 and they prefer v11 - so I've opted to create my own v11 rebuild. I'll add time.com to my list of test sites - the articles don't work in my in-process v11 so I can't make any promises. But once I get uMatrix, Stylus, NoScript, and Tampermonkey loaded, there might be a "workaround" that will make time.com work, not sure yet. edit: I should rephrase that - v13 works 100% of the time. But one crash in 30 days is too much for me so that's why I now run v12. It was one thing when it was just on Never-Really-Use YouTube. It was another altogether when I'd start typing a post here at MSFN, walk to the kitchen with half of a post typed out, return to find MSFN crashed v13. Ugh!

@Humming Owl FYI - in your v11 modification notes, you have the below entry - - Offset (h) = 02a75c40 Replaced "http://chrome.360.cn/jump/switch_engine.html" entry by dots ("How to switch kernel" button link removal) These were actually replaced by 00 hexadecimal values edit: I have not verified, but the same might be true for the Feedback, Home, Forum, and Weibo link removals.

Is "whole family" two people, three people, twenty people, fifty people? You are making this much more difficult than it really is! You do not need any added software, you do not need to learn networking. When you get that error, how many people are home and using their computer? It really is THAT easy. You're not trying to track down the IP Address on a factory floor with 400 computers and 399 of them have a static address and 1 of them was a dynamic address that "stole" a different assembly line robot's IP Address. You're dealing with the "whole family" - period. PIECE OF CAKE! Why are you making this so much more difficult than it really is? Either track down the other ONE out of "three or four", not that hard to isolate, family members using the same IP Address or just change your own IP address. Changing your own IP Address takes 30-60 seconds, 5-10 if you already know how. But instead of doing that, you're 3 days into this already? You are dealing with a FAMILY of computers. You're not dealing with a LAN with specific file-sharing needs, your not dealing with a factory floor with HUNDREDS of computers. You are dealing with three or four computers! Ten TOPS!

Here is the reddit thread of other uBock Origin users (not me, I use uMatrix) having a great dislike for the mobile GUI introduced with version 1.27.0 -- https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/gk56f9/ublock_origin_1270_with_interface_redesign_is_out/ Stick with version 1.26.0 (or 1.26.2), it does everything that the "new" version does and it renders fonts properly on XP. "Newer" is not better... But look who I'm tellin', you're not even running Service Pack 3

Only other suggestion I have is to "upgrade" to this version of uBlock Origin -- https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/200354/ edit: above link is for 1.26.0 Here's a link for 1.26.2 -- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.26.2

I've created a profile with these extensions and holy crap! Font-rendering is UGLY! GET RID OF uBLOCK ORIGIN and replace it with uMatrix!

I do similar to prevent "cleartype" BS. I have the exact opposite of "color blind" vision. Cleartype fonts give me migraines because my vision can see the little red and green dots at the font-corners and they dance and flash and gyrate according to my vision - among many others, it was a gigantic ordeal when Microsoft pushed that "technology" into new operating systems.
