Your "nocookie.com" links never work for me. I always have to remove the "-nocookie" and "?feature=oembed" and then replace "embed/" with "watch?v="

I have hundreds of spreadsheets lying around and cannot find the needle in the haystack at the moment, but I run several hundreds of benchmarks on each and every build and then use the best performing build as my base. I do not use the "latest and greatest" by version number because all the Chinese folks did was add telemetry methods to newer builds - who cares when our end result is to remove that telemetry? I will not be updating my v11 build 2031 to build 2251. There is no "advantage" to the higher build number when we are focused on a lightweight browser with no telemetry. Build 2031 performed faster and more efficiently than builds 2000, 2052, 2140, and 2251. The core engine was newer than builds 1027, 1077, 1100, 1216, 1262, 1311, 1393, and 1414. As for Humming Owl's differences - you really have to run it yourself and decide for yourself. I personally *hate* running it because it keeps entries in my Windows Registry and because they throw "nag screens" that you have to hit ESC to unlock the browser. Some folks prefer Humming Owl's versions, some folks prefer mine. No skin off either one of our backs if you opt for the opposite.

Firefox and Chrome do not define "third-party" the same way. Fonts in Firefox versus Chrome is COMPLEX. I've used this in the past, maybe this will serve your needs - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/419363-全局微软雅黑 or https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/419362-全局思源黑体 But the bottom line is that fonts in Firefox versus Chrome is COMPLEX - you will not solve these font differences without leaning on something like Tampermonkey or Stylus.

Same here. I have nine computers and only two of them have LESS than 4 MB RAM. But I still use v11 even on computers with 8 and 16 MB RAM. v11 is by far the "lightest" and the startup time after a reboot or coming out of hibernate is right around 3 seconds whereas v12 and higher is around 6 seconds. My time is too important "to me" to wait that extra 3 seconds, lol. I get it that folks need "newer" for SOME web sites - I do also (my water bill). But I can do 99% of everything I need on v11.

I tried this one and was unable to witness any "automatic discarding". I could discard MANUALLY from the chrome://discards page, but could not force any "automatic discard". I kept loading new YouTube tabs and watching my memory monitor in my systray. As soon as the memory monitor hit 90%, XP threw up its yellow systray icon indicating low memory but 360Chrome did not discard anything but nor would it load more tabs.

That's NOT what I see here. Yes, a "new" tab consumes ~100 MB. BUT an "old" tab releases RAM or a "background" tab releases RAM at the same exact time the new tab was created. Just because ONE tab = 100 MB, that does NOT mean that EIGHT tabs = 800 MB. All software "manages" RAM allocation differently, some will "release" RAM only when it sees "90% of RAM in use", some will "release" RAM every 20 seconds, et cetera. During some research sessions, it's not uncommon to have THIRTY PLUS tabs open. 100 MB times 30 = 3 GB, my browser has never used 3 GB RAM.
