Is this the card model, if so, I'm afraid you're outta luck. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3050-ti-mobile.c3778

Then try this - start Supermium with HW acceleration already switched on in advance, click play video, look at the voltage spike.

Thanks, I think I already wrote I do it via CMD with flags, when you asked me which flags I use. Philips has brilliant, amazing colours, very natural. I enjoy British shows with David Attenborough.

Here we can observe confirmations from multiple users: "45 seconds to start up Supermium..." https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/358 Like I said, this doesn't happen to me with Ungooggled. For me, it's not 45 seconds, but more like several seconds vs milliseconds in Ungoogled, still very high, especially if we consider the fact Supermium "greets" me with a blank white screen (despite the dark theme currently forced on), and it stays unresponsive for like 7-10 seconds. With extensions it'd be much, much longer.

Yes, but it's with every browser that has video acceleration switched on, not only Supermium. It's the joy I wouldn't want to get rid of yet, Like I said, I don't watch videos in browsers, I have a huge Philips TV for that purpose.

Well, I tried uBlock 1.54, and I wasn't happy with its slow performance at all, frankly I'm disappointed. In the end, it glitched out for me completely, leaving the lists' page totally empty.

A fair guess is to assume Supermium already includes the kernel mod within the non-disclosed, close source parts, like progwrp.dll, for example.

1. No, we got a very cheap, green electricity, here in Holland, I'm more concerned with the unnecessary wear and log waiting times each start brings. 2. The same idi*otic voltage spikes each start brings, why would a browser need to bring my gpu to the full clocking state each start? Then it of course settles down, but it's simply not helping to let it survive longer.

I don't understand the question. I have a fast HDD - Raptor, a very old GTX titan (produced: Januray 2013).

No tests are needed since it's too obviously noticeable. Ungoogled opens up in a matter of milliseconds, while with the usual Chrome or even Supermium I have to wait for 3 seconds on my HDD. But then again, it may be different with your hardware.

Probably a more fair comparison would be to run them both on Vista, Ungoogled runs on Vista ex-kernel up to version 110-111 or so. Supermium was made for Vista initially, that's what I mean.

Then you've come to the right place, I don't think Supermium will ever be fully ungoogled. With the rate the developer adds Ungoogled features it may only happen in the year 3047. Why? I don't know, probably the ungoogled demand is low.

Slower startup and heavier HDD usage. First and foremost, I disable everything GPU related, I don't watch videos in browsers.

For starters, even if we leave aside the data collection thingy, it's simply heavier. Ungoogled version has more useful flags for user's convenience, highly customizable. Are you sure you ever tried it?

This is really very helpful, thank you for the detailed and such factual report!

Besides, sites may simply crash or not work at all when they discover the function they requested is absent in chromium 86. I once used an android mobile UA with this browser, many sites tolerate the old mobile Chrome agent much better. Something like: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; insert phone model) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) SamsungBrowser/xx.x Chrome/xx.x.xxx.xx Mobile Safari/537.36 xxx replace with the Chrome/browser version you want.

On some websites, to some extent - yes, but you always leave a unique fingerprint behind.

At least spammers there are far more funny and advertise quite useful goods - gulden printing hardware, in contrast to MSFN's lamers.

People need to realise - no porting will happen, just stock up on old hardware while you can. Next year it will be 11 years since they fully dropped Windows XP support. And still no ported/modded drivers exist.

I can take a wild guess - the OS is XP, I fail to understand why not just leave it be, that member had been explained many times - there's no such thing as "DirectX10 on XP". Win32 wrote on github - everything in Supermium falls back to DirectX9 while on XP.

I wonder would that fact include telemetry, calling home to the developer. Or a timebomb of some kind, even if not now, but maybe later? Stock up on it while you can.

Obviously it would require a newer version of Windows because the minimum supported client for that function is Windows Vista. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-initializeprocthreadattributelist

Yard sales in rural areas?

Yes, @D.Draker is famous for helping people, especially with the modded Video drivers. I suggest you add your hardware IDS. https://www.wikihow.com/Find-Hardware-ID

Dude, please do some proper research before posting. Chromium license has nothing to do with Supermium, Supermium has "progwrp.dll" (without it it doesn't work) - Supermium is *officially* a close source programme. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/309#issuecomment-1974917968
