Cuts my memory use in ~half. Actually did a double take -- removed those DLLs from the folder, relaunched Chrome ... memory use doubled. Put them back, it halves again. I think it's more about GPU & driver than the CPU's feature set. Could be mistaken. P.S. those old Xeons are missing AVX2 though, some stuff simply won't run on them. In their defense: cheaper than dirt. BTW, what OS are you in?

Different box. This is an x58 with a Westmere Xeon & a pair of 960s in SLI (i know, i know, but one of those would be sitting in a drawer if i din't stick in this box). BTW, check out VistaLover's comment -- on 32-bit XP the difference is night & day (for me). Without new DLLs With new .DLLs

Hi, seems to be working for me (software) in XP x64, will update on 32-bit & Vista in a few mins. Edit: works in 32-bit XP and Vista, but running on software across the board (at least on this box). Another edit: partial HW acceleration in 7 on this box
-
At least you have video encode/decode (watch YT at glorious resolutions) & some semblance of HW WebGL (to watch aquarium, i guess)

Disabled by default in XP, i think (or am i missing something?)
-
Didn't those gents cost Feodor his last git? Anyhow, last XP-compatible version released ~10 years ago, so irrelevant to this thread. Last XP/Vista-compatible build released ~5 years ago. Are you suggesting the wellbeing of our beloved Information Superhighway depends on these? And the question stands: what, specifically, are they saving?
-
Sometimes, dead is better. What, specifically, is FF saving? I mean it's literally kept by Google.
-
Has trapezoid tabs by default, but disabling #custom-tab-shapes in chrome://flags reverts it back to generic Chrome.
-
Didn't know that, but started using Supermium as my main XP/Vista browser. Works well with all my HW, even with 32-bit_XP_without_PAE issues.
-
Lol, i knew i'd get caught. Not sure whose build that is, probably one of Humming Owl's, though the missing font/boxes tell me i downloaded the wrong one. Not sure why, but Humming Owl's Kafan Minibrowser was the Chrome port4me (iirc the spellchecker didn't work in that one, but it took dark themes well & could search from the address bar).
-
The post you quoted compares 121 on XP to 117 on 7. Here's a fresh 117, running on 7 and here's 121, running on 7
-
360 Chrome worked for me (x58 XP x64 w/ too much memory), nothing other than Supermium did (froze @ 5%).
-
x58 with 2.5GB available memory This is a bit misleading -- Supermium lags/freezes for up to several secs when launched, memory use spikes. Once running, the numbers seem representative. Mypal 68 benches similarly to Chrome backports. <-click See above. It's a memory hog, like most full-featured modern browsers.
-
Not sure what you mean. If we're talking about XP, it's the only version of Supermium & is substantially faster than other XP-compatible browsers on decent HW, both subjectively & benched by Speedometer 2.0: Mypal 68 and Supermium, side-by-side on x99 (x64) On x58 (x64) On Haswell (x86) I use Google & like having sync. Different set of priorities.

These? MPC-HC 2.1.4 MPC-HC 2.1.4.7z MPC-BE 1.6.11 MPC-BE 1.6.11.7z
-
Tough crowd. My new favorite browser for XP, XP x64 & Vista; twice as fast as other XP browsers on all my HW. BTW 32-bit Mypal works fine on x64, not sure if there's a performance hit, though i doubt it.
-
Arguably more secure than an "insecure" web browser on an "insecure" OS.
-
Hi, sorry if this was mentioned already, but have you tried sticking progwrp.dll in \windows\system32 folder? Also: what's the file size of your progwrp.dll? (already had a 13KB progwrp.dll sitting in mine, the new one should be 125KB)
-
Can't readily explain this, but the test does run without an internet connection: Running on disabled connection Result Edit: Might've misunderstood what you were trying to say, thought the spread between wired & wireless was nontrivial (it isn't).
-
Guessing i'm that someone. Mypal 68 and Supermium, side-by-side, XP x64 on x99. This is on overkill HW, but anything Sandy Bridge & up with 4 gigs or more should show a similar spread. Subjectively, it's also much faster. P.S. Mypal 68 & Supermium side-by-side, 32-bit XP on Haswell P.P.S. Mypal 68 & Supermium side-by-side, 64-bit on x58 Speedometer 2.0 is not based on connection speed.
