  1. An interesting watch indeed! Particularly the notion that a "sandbox" OPENS UP VULNERABILITIES that would otherwise NOT EXIST if the computer was not running "anti-virus". The whole notion of Zero Day has always been enough for me to NOT run anti-virus - a heuristic scan cannot protect you from something it does not know how to find! And BINGO! As the presenter stated, "The reason I don't get malware is that I don't click on things, I don't download attachments". We called this "net savvy" back in the day. Also, as the presenter states, "I don't just download apps I get from the internet, especially free apps, and then run them without making sure they are authentic." It's also why I will not use a web browser that doesn't have a "status bar" - it is an ingrained habit to hover, eye down to status bar, read status bar, spin some brain gears based on that read, then go from there.
  2. Download link in first post. Notes regarding YouTube, rebasing, "ungoogled" versus "regular", skins, Extension page, WebGL, et cetera in several of our "served reversed" posts.
  3. Enhancer for YouTube still works for me. I can no longer pipe YouTube through Proxomitron "and" Enhancer but relying on Enhancer "plus" uMatrix continues to work quite well. My uMatrix doesn't allow anything outside of youtube.com and googlevideo.com domains.
  4. I personally dislike using YouTube as some form of a "barometer" to gauge whether a web browser is "good" or not, whether an old computer is "good" or not, et cetera. My host computer has NEVER stuttered on YouTube. NEVER! 360Chrome v13.5 is the ONLY web browser I've ever used on YouTube. So I have NO CLUE how ANY other browser would or would not perform as far as YouTube is concerned. In fact, until becoming an MSFN Member and sharing these 360Chrome builds, I have literally NEVER visited YouTube. Okay, "never say never". I knew it played ADS left and right and therefore I would boycott the living sh#t out of ever "wanting" anything to do with YouTube. It was only because of "all" members here at MSFN being "YouTube Junkies" that I myself kind of 'had to' find a way to make YouTube "tolerable" (ie, ENHANCER FOR YOUTUBE, "don't leave home without it"). And sure, nowadays I am on YouTube daily at work for "background noise". But as far as STUTTERS - I've never encountered any on my host computer - not on my 16GB RAM XP x64, not on my 2GB RAM XP x86. I do get stutters in a VM even with 3GB RAM allocated. No stutters if I use a non-rebased 360Chrome using 200MB per process. No stutters if I use a rebased 360Chrome with per-process RAM under control. No stutters on build 1030 which I'm showing as having RAM under control without even rebasing (provided we don't let it load both "360base.dll" and "chrome.dll"). And the FUNNY thing about YouTube is the GREAT LENGTHS its "userbase" will go to make it "tolerable". I find various YouTube "front-ends" to peg CPU or RAM much MUCH higher than just "regular" YouTube - yet folks will still swear by the use of those "front-ends". As even recent discussions have pointed out, many "tamers" for YouTube also peg CPU or RAM much MUCH higher than just using "regular" YouTube. Sometimes we just make life difficult on ourselves and life would be so much easier if we just learned to not make our own lives difficult. Is YouTube "stuttering" because you are playing 1080p or 1440p "high def"? I personally play everything at 480p. And the very RARE times that I select 720p or even 1080p, THERE IS NO VIDEO DIFFERENCE. At least very rarely! Playing a video at 1080p when it was RECORDED from something only capable of recording 480p - video resolution doesn't miraculously "upscale" like that.
  5. Do you have stuttering on YouTube or is YouTube fine for you?
  6. Try this. Go to https://downloadtestfile.com/ and select either the 10GB or 5GB Large Test File. No need to download the entire file. Do not use a "download manager", we are testing 360Chrome's download speed, not the speed of a "download manager". Once downloading, open 360Chrome's Download Manager dialog and report what speed that file downloads for you.
  7. Thanks. Have not tried yet, but have on the to-do list.
  8. I'm looking to have uploads available within the next day or two. With the "planned obsolescence" of the Chrome Web Store even functioning on 360Chrome, I wonder if we really even need a "regular" version and only an "ungoogled" should be available?
  9. WebGL Note that WebGL is enabled by default. For those that wish to disable it, add --disable-webgl to the Parameters line in 360Loader.ini
  10. Skins I plan on placing several skin packages here. I know that I've been saying that for a year or so, but I do have several in-process, just not exactly high priority. I can foresee them "finally" being completed by the end of the year (no Holiday travels planned for the year so that gives more free time than I typically have). I currently run Win10 the majority of the time as opposed to XP when I started sharing these rebuilds. So the as-is skin now is "flat" and "square" like Win10 and not "three-dimensional" and "rounded" like XP. I urge caution in "mixing-and-matching".
  11. Extension Page "action links" I hide the "action links" (permissions, options, developer website, details) on the Extensions Page. Striclty my preference, I find them to be excess clutter for links I never actually need/use and I can toggle them as visible via the Developer tools if I do end up needing them. For users that prefer them to be visible all the time, replace resources.pak with one of the below (unzip it first) -- "ungoogled" -- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3n9uyuaj5seg6t17pvzpj/ungoogled_resources_action-links.zip?rlkey=5nhcy6az1i71e4w7bfnpo4ory&dl=1 "regular" -- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t3wrsmp9u7c2e9gic18gn/regular_resources_action-links.zip?rlkey=ogcdbwlr01fj4ss1m2z0cxcnc&dl=1
  12. Rebasing Rebasing should not be required and has not been performed. This could be computer-specific so I request to see "Process Hacker" screencaps for users that may think a rebase is required for their computer. I use this version of Process Hacker but any version will do -- https://sourceforge.net/projects/processhacker/files/processhacker2/processhacker-2.23-bin.zip/download
  13. Installing Extensions The Chrome Web Store has already planned to obsolete Manifest V2 extensions and 360Chrome v13.5 and older does not support Manifest V3. Therefore only an "ungoogled" version is currently being maintained. There are ways to "restore" what we used to refer to as "regular" versus "ungoogled" - but it is very much a Long Term Dead End with MV2's expiration on the horizon. In the meantime, all users should be archiving their own .crx files. An easy way is to use already-public archives such as https://www.crx4chrome.com/ Another route is to use "CRX Extractor/Downloader" -- https://www.crx4chrome.com/history/265228/ There is no need to ever use "Developer Mode" on the chrome://extensions page - simply drag-and-drop your archived .crx onto the chrome://extensions page. I also reference @rereser's userscript for members that opt for this route -- https://msfn.org/board/topic/185049-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1352044-rebuild-2/?do=findComment&comment=1255373 Though note that this ALSO requires a "regular" version. So users will have to do THREE things - 1) install Tampermonkey from an archived .crx, 2) install the above userscript, and 3) convert from "ungoogled" to "regular". To convert from "ungoogled" to "regular", replace 360Chrome's resources.pak with this one (unzip it first) -- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ryuc7x38i05r8x8ar1xac/regular_resources_pak.zip?rlkey=xg8oz0xi2mysah9svpd7dxxin&dl=1
  14. YouTube I've had good luck with Enhancer for YouTube. @Dave-H has a shared download here - https://msfn.org/board/topic/185049-arcticfoxienotheretoplaygames-360chrome-v1352044-rebuild-2/?do=findComment&comment=1255763 I've also had good luck with this Greasyfork script using Tampermonkey - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/480137-youtube-h-264-fps/code Users reporting issues with YouTube should also post a screencap of the video's Stats for nerds dialog (available in context menu when right-clicking on top of video) -
  15. 360Chrome v13.5 Build 1030 Redux I inadvertently corrupted my original Build 1030 series when working on Builds 2022 and 2036 so this is starting brand new with several lessons learned from later versions, including 2044. I've always much preferred Build 1030 over anything "newer". They all technically use the same v86 Chromium engine "under the hood". Download link -- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/d5sjhgshdrjtntd06iecb/360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_Redux_1_ungoogled_MSFN.zip?rlkey=etzsfb8m9z1kljxj10jwhw9wv&dl=1
  16. Doesn't seem to be an issue with build 1030 and rebasing was only required in the "newer" versions (on some systems, especially x86).
