Chrome 115 working on Windows XP 32 bit
Chuck replied to sparty411's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Well, I'm not talking just about the windows 7 version (which will be awesome after will be based on supermium), but the performance that thorium has on old devices are extreme. The android version I had it installed on an old TV which cannot play nothing in streaming from a browser even at 240p, (with official YouTube app can but 720p60 already is sluggish) but with thorium can stream with acceptable performance, even 720p (but YouTube cannot do more than 480p anyway). -
Chrome 115 working on Windows XP 32 bit
Chuck replied to sparty411's topic in Browsers working on Older NT-Family OSes
Which one do you think is more safe (not 100% safe neither, I know), mypal 68 (based on outdated quantum 68) or this chromium 115 partially cleaned (but I cannot find connections to China and HDD scanning, but maybe I've not instigated enough, who knows), or maybe 360ee? Anyway while I'm waiting for my hero to release XP supermium (and maybe the other hero developer of thorium can base its XP chromium on it like will do for the windows 7 one) which one is more recommended? -

It started more or less 1 months ago, before then I had even another extension (bookmarks sidebar) and never encountered any problem. In the last month started to crash, but often 360ee doesn't close, just the tab freezes or aw snap appears, that makes me think something has to do with web pages compatibility.- 2,340 replies

For me 360ee v11 rebased started to crash like crazy. I have only ublock origin installed, on windows XP SP3. Maybe there is some setting which I should edit? I had hw acceleration disabled, I've tried to enable it and check if will make any difference. Unfortunately in addition some sites starts to do not like the browser anymore, I've seen that happens with 360ee 13 too.- 2,340 replies

As I said ram usage from 360ee 11 is low enough to run on 2 gigs of ram, even with 2 extensions (ublock origin and bookmarks sidebar) doesn't need a lot of ram, does not use all ram as long as you do not open 10 tabs maybe? This is different using 360ee 12, 13, kafan and DC, which 6 tabs can fill the entire ram and doesn't look like to empty it very soon.- 2,340 replies

I have no idea, maybe it's windows XP fault. You can see into my previous comment the difference between 360ee 11 and DC browser, 5 times the ram opening 1 tab, which reduces to 2.5 times opening 5 tabs with some sites opened in them.- 2,340 replies

V11 is perfectly usable, I was intending versions newer that it, with one tab (default) uses only 80 megabytes, opening google.com usage gets to 106 mb. Launching DC browser instead (always all extensions disabled) with 1 default tab the ram used from it is 370 mb and just 15 mb of difference opening google.com.- 2,340 replies

I've tested better the browsers after rebase and I found that 360ee >11, kafan minibrowser and DC browser uses roughly ~2.5 times the ram used than 360ee 11 with the same tabs opened (the amount can vary but never under 2 times, at least with 5 tabs opened) , I've started to think that this has to be expected and probably chromium >69 requires double the ram to run.- 2,340 replies

But I didn't find cloudflare one, I'll check again. Anyway why other chromium browsers do not have their own certificates, is just a 360ee version 11 characteristic?- 2,340 replies

100% sure that I press ok because if I check again before launching it is selected, I even check the registry in appcompatflags, and after launching the browser I refresh it and the compatibility flag gets deleted! Won't be a problem to force it for me with a regedit .bat. Anyway I've installed the certificates suggested but didn't fix the problem like the compatibility mode. In addition the system crashed (but happended just one time) when I exited from DC browser, I don't know if has been a browser fault, especially because bluescreenview reports only ntoskrnl and win32k, so could just be an isolated event (I cannot use maxthon browser because random crashes). I'll test more the configuration tomorrow and in the next week.- 2,340 replies

I downloaded them from archive.org which are the links in the first post of this topic. It's all cleaned, only 180 mb maxinum of ram are used at startup. CPU is used only by browser and task manager.- 2,340 replies

Thanks, it worked! I don't know how and why, in addition it's interesting that compatibility mode gets removed after the browser gets launched, really strange, but when a site refuses to cooperate I can just re enable compatibility mode and relaunch.- 2,340 replies

Thanks I'll try that. But why it works correctly in 360ee 11 remains a mistery. I've seen a section in it called 360ee trusted certificates or something similar, who knows if got to do with it.- 2,340 replies

I found the curlprit about missing images in superguidatv.it and some other sites on 360ee 12, 13 kafan minibrowser and DC browser. It has to do with JavaScript. Trying disabling and re-enabling it makes no difference. Disabling it into 360ee 11 exhibits the same behavior. Is there any way to fix it? Edit: opening the console shows lot of errors about invalid certificate even on working https site, so probably update browser certificates will fix JavaScript too. Edit 2: tried to install the cloudflare ECC CA-3 certificate, which appears to be invalid. I got it from cloudflare site, it gest installed but says invalid signature, maybe XP is not supported? But I don't know why for 360ee 11 is not a problem.- 2,340 replies

I followed a guide on XPforums.com, the certificates gets downloaded from windows update site, which is there (even if says that is not a guide it worked because shows https on more sites than before): https://www.xpforums.com/threads/360-extreme-explorer-chrome-69-for-windows-xp.934574/page-3- 2,340 replies

Hi. The browsers tested has been just downloaded from archive.org so they contain no extensions and are launched without anything installed (that's what I meant for vanilla). I updated the system certificates again, though they has been updated 2 months ago, tried rebooting but still no https in that site on anything else then 360ee 11 and no images showed, tested in 360ee 12, 13.0, kafan minibrowser and DC browser (the last one I think will be my choice if I can get it to work because exhibits comparable performance with 360ee 11) To me 360ee 12 won't show images on that site too, anyway it's too heavy for my PC (for surfing and streaming at the same time) P.S. operating system Is windows XP SP3 with all security updates (no posready).- 2,340 replies

Yeah, should be something with certificates, since I have no https icon, as vistalover suggested.- 2,340 replies

Yes, I forgot about certificates, the https icon is active on 360ee 11 (not 9, I need to edit the post), but not in 12 and 13, really that site doesn't like my system with 360ee 12 and 13.- 2,340 replies

Version 12 and 13 do not show the images from the site in the image. In addition they looks like to be too much heavy for my CPU (athlon 64 X2 5600+ Brisbane 2.9 ghz) since they cannot handle a video stream while web surfing (audio stutters/breaks). This applies to kafan minibrowser too. 3D acceleration doesn't work for my video card (Radeon hd 4670). Enabling hardware acceleration in 360ee 9 from settings results in worst performance (occasional audio stutters happens sometimes in it, even without hw acceleration, but more rarely). If acceleration cannot work I would like to find something that will disable video but will keep the audio for streaming, maybe it could fix audio stuttering, since I need only that. Edit: 360ee version that I use and works is 11. The certificates could cause the missing images problem, since in version 11 https icon is displayed.- 2,340 replies

Just don't know. If I recall correctly just opening 360ee 13 makes the ram get from 160 to ~700-800 mb and every tab requires other ~500 mb of ram. It's a pity because looks like to be faster on my system too. I could test again and report the exact numbers.- 2,340 replies

Windows XP service pack 3 with all security updates (no posready), I have ~170 mb of ram used at startup. I launched 360ee 13 vanilla, so without any history or add-ons, version 13 can occupy more than 1 gb of ram with just 2 tabs open, I need to open 5-6 tabs with version 11 to get 1 gig of ram used.- 2,340 replies
