I lost all my installed extensions at the beginning of my tests with Thorium due to these registry settings.
I give you a risk-free way to verify my claim [export the key before deleting it, import it if it doesn't reappear]. You respond with a quaint anecdote about your past Thorium woes. Can only assume you're trolling.

Yours is an SSE4 release, mine is the SSE2 variant.
If you honestly think the two versions treat the registry differently, [back up and] delete the keys from your registry to confirm they don't. Disregard if just trolling.

Or do you think I created all these entries by myself just to confuse you?
P.S. If not obvious, these exist in USER_DATA folder & are written to registry when Thorium opens. Delete yours (from the registry), see them magically restored next time you open your browser; be amazed

you can't expect to pick up where it was left off by using it on another computer.
On a different computer, Thorium folder on a flash drive.
What works: All the extensions, cookies, the sites i was logged into, theme, etc.
What doesn't work: open tabs. Opens to new page.
OTOH, if i copy the folder to the internal drive, everything works as expected
Opens all the right tabs and, of course, all the extensions are there.
No idea why running off the flash drive opens a blank page.

Install some extensions and then use your "portable" folder on another computer!
But that's exactly what i did. Or, rather, not exactly. I lied. Simply booted into another OS in the same computer (multiboot). Copying the folder to a flash drive (the folder is huge, ~ 3 gigs, USB 2.0 is slow), just to make sure. Will post from it in a few

Just tested, and turns out i can (the browser opened to the same tabs). I think the USER_DATA folder (which is created inside the Thorium folder when you use THORIUM_PORTABLE.bat) is where all that is kept, not in the registry.

a true PORTABLE
I think by "portable," most mean "lets me stick the folder on a flash drive, and pick up where i left off, on another computer." What's the drawback of registry writes (real question)?

1ghz dual core with 2 or 4Gb of ram for Windows 11 IoT LTSC??!? Is this a joke?
According to MS, IoT is for "fixed-function, special-purpose devices," like running an app for some lab gear/kiosk machine, that sort of thing. Considering how sluggish 11 is on reasonable HW, it's usable on junk -- ran it on Athlon 64 with 4 gigs, was OK for basic web browsing, Also tried a VM with 2 cores/1 GB -- sluggish, but it loaded/ran Chrome, updated itself (with a bunch of Chrome tabs open) without issues, was nearly usable.

it wasn't just a gihub takedown.
It was, the https://win32subsystem.live/supermium/ link is good. @UCyborg meant there's still a place to download Supermium, (from https://win32subsystem.live/supermium/).

how is this possible?
Don't know, The two files that still light up for me are notification_helper.exe & chrome_pwa_launcher.exe,

not the whole folder
That scanner opens .zipped files, so just now removed setup.exe & uninstall.exe, zipped & scanned again.
Fewer hits, but still some:EDIT: JUST ONE. I used "add to archive," so uninstall.exe got scanned. Sorry. Real result:
Again, pretty sure it's false.

all triggers come from setup.exe
Also think it's all false positives, but i've zipped *just the supermium folder* (without setup.exe) & got a bunch of hits.
Edit: Might just be uninstall.exe (that lights up), will try without it.

he whole installer,
Also scanned just the supermium folder (without the installer) (scroll down, bad link). Glad to help.

Could you be so kind to test the actual files and post in Spuermium's topic? /Thanks/
EDIT: Most of those hits are from uninstall.exe. Just one (probably false) positive when uninstall.exe is deleted from /supermium folder.
Zipped up just the Supermium folder without the installer (setup.exe):
I'll leave it here, compare and contrast sort of thing.
P.S. Tried to check if a separate .zipped binaries download was available, but no luck -- page is down [panicking emoji]

it broke WebGL for you (and me).
That it did. Just ran MotionMark 1.3. There is a difference:
Without GPU:
With GPU:
There's also a slight (5%) but repeatable difference in Speedmark 3.0

Is there a way to test GPU acceleration? Chrome://GPU tells me Compositing, webGL & webGPU are enabled, but i can't notice the difference. On the plus side, no negative effects. Almost. WebGL aquarium used to give me blistering 6fps; now the frame rate's improved, but the frames are invisible

it would not exist without Chromium.
But at the same time, i keep seeing (from your second link) "When Google first introduced Chrome back in 2008, they also released the Chromium source code on which Chrome was based as an open-source project." In other words, Google released the Chrome binary and non-proprietary part of Chrome's code simultaneously. It's sorta chicken/egg debate, since "Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, primarily developed and maintained by Google."

Without UPSTREAM CHROMIUM, Chrome itself would not exist.
Are you sure? "Google Chrome debuted in September 2008, and along with its release, the Chromium source code was also made available, allowing builds to be constructed from it."--wikipee

Burger Chrome & Google user here, AI overviews enabled. No ads thus far (desktop Chrome, have disabled UO & refreshed to check). AI results are pretty good -- exactly what i'm looking for ~95% of the time, hallucination-free thus far (not even once), info's no more outdated than all search results. OTOH, not searching for politics/current events, those might be right-think du jour.

This is understood, wasn't sure what you meant by "I mean, AVC is format, not codec." What did you mean?
