Reminder that Chrome Web Store is intentionally broken in the "ungoogled" version. The best route I have found to return a degree of functionality to Chrome Web Store but to do it without the telemetry/tracker/persistent-cookie is to manually install this extension -- https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/265228/ Scroll down to the Download Now section and click the Crx4Chrome download link (the other links should work as well, I have only ever used the Crx4Chrome link). Note that the download will download without any "where to save" dialog, it will download to your default directory as set in chrome://settings/downloadSetting. To manually install, drag-and-drop this .crx file onto "empty whtie space" on your chrome://extensions/ page. You should get a dialog asking to confirm installation - click the Add button (then close the self-advert nuisance tab). Now whenever you visit a Chrome Web Store addon page, you can download the .crx directly and manually install as opposed to installing via the Chrome Web Store.

This build is targeted to be more RAM-friendly than earlier builds. The chrome.dll file now has a default base address of 0x3e1c0000 and this seems to work well for both x86 XP and for x64 XP. Limited to no tests whatsoever were performed outside of XP.

Since 0x3e1c0000 seems to work for everything I've thrown at it (one x86 XP laptop, one x86 XP desktop, one x64 XP desktop, two Win10 x64 laptops), I'm getting ready to repackage everything, upload, and start a new thread dedicated to 13.5 build 1030. There still could be a "better" base address, not really sure. I literally just tacked via trial-and-error until I hit one that worked.

I was originally aiming for "contiguous". ie, force a "defragged" RAM. Looks like this is not really the best approach. Looks like what is working better (and more universal) is to base to an address BELOW all of the SysWOW64 and WinSxS stuff. But to keep it ABOVE a mouse-gesture app I run on all of my machines (ironically, this mouse-gesture app resides at 0x10000000 - ie, the original default for chrome.dll). Admittedly, it's all been trial-and-error and just keep trying new base addresses. 0x3e1c0000 seems to be working out just great. For x86 and for x64.

It appears as though the best I can really do as far as "default" settings for a "public release" is to NOT rebase chrome.dll. But add a post or two with every rebuild on how the end-user can rebase their own chrome.dll. The problem that I am finding is that rebasing is not "universal". I cannot use a rebased chrome.dll that "works" on my x86 and use that same rebased chrome.dll on my x64 (RAM goes from 207 MB without rebase to 388 MB with rebase, I'm better off without rebase on my x64 [or rebase to a different base address]). I rebase to an incorrect address and it doesn't "work". 0x1d10000 seems to work for both my x86 laptop and my x86 desktop - but I do knot know if this address will work for "everybody". I don't think there is going to be a "one size fits all" approach.

@AstroSkipper - I think you kind of missed one of @UCyborg's main points. There is literally nothing to gain in this community by jumping through your normal hoops to always prove yourself correct and everybody else incorrect. We can all be "equals" even if we all have very different IQ's. Masters learn from their students. Here is my suggestion. Can we post this "issue" on a WiseVector StopX forum and gain some insights from its own user-base? Even without ASLR, a computer can run twenty different programs that all "default" to the same exact base address and all twenty of those programs will run without any BSOD's despite NONE OF THEM being able to land on their "default" base address. There is something else amiss with your computer if you are getting BSOD's. Posting on a WiseVector StopX forum should in the very least IMPROVE the product for future versions.

That Dr. Who character is the best portrayal of "vanity of vanities". Her name is Lady Cassandra. She claims to be the last "pure" human. But she's had so many surgeries performed over the years that she is nothing but the skin of a face stretched in a frame. The world revolves around Cassandra. Every other human still in existence is at her becking call to spritz her with a spray bottle of water so that she doesn't dry out. She reminds me of people on this forum. We are all just here minding our own business and yet some here are so into themselves that any and every move any of us makes is somehow turned and twisted into revolving around their own little universe. I'd say it's fun to watch. But it isn't. Dr. Who, on the other hand, that is fun to watch!

From the underlying code, the proxy and "mediamanagement" were reindexed somewhere between 1030 and 2022. So were the translation .pak file indexes. That doesn't really answer "why", but it is the differences I see between the two after telemetry was stripped out. I'd probably have to restrip the two in order to spot more differences.
