Not now, certainly, even though they probably started from the same base. They are diverging, as these things always do with different developers working on them.

Again off-topic, but the faulty file open dialogue has been fixed on the latest version of Thorium, so I guess Supermium will not be far behind!

The new 122.0.6261.168 version of Thorium seems to be working fine. One thing I have found is that it generated a folder in my profile folder called 'Screen_AI'. This appears to be a Google AI thing which it presumably downloaded in the background. Unfortunately, whatever it is, it doesn't work on XP, just generating errors in my Windows System event log whenever Thorium is started. Looking at other Chrome browsers, there should be an option in the settings to switch off this AI stuff, but that option is not there in Thorium, and I can't find any relevant flags to disable it either. I have worked around it by simply disabling chrome_screen_ai.dll by re-naming it.

Less memory usage problems certainly, but the jury's out as far as I'm concerned at the moment.

Yes, there's now a thread about it.

FWIW it's the same in Thorium, perhaps not surprisingly!

Well all my operating systems are on 'bare metal' and I hope they always will be! I didn't actually import my 360Chrome profile into Thorium. I imported it into Supermium, and then imported the Supermium profile into Thorium! As Thorium and Supermium are so similar, I thought that was the best way to do it. I can't think of any reason why a 360Chrome profile wouldn't work directly in Thorium though.

OK, I'm giving Thorium 122.0.6261.158 a try on 32 bit XP. I still managed to crash an Instagram tab with an 'out of memory' message, but it was a great deal more difficult to do it with Thorium than it is with Supermium! What seems to happen with Thorium is that as I scroll, the memory use does spiral up, but it gets to a certain point and then drops back again. I can scroll for a long time, and it keeps doing that, but eventually it does crash out. This is unlikely to happen in normal use though I would have thought. With Supermium, the memory just keeps going up, and it crashes relatively quickly. In most other respects the browsers seem to be pretty similar, although on one website I use regularly Thorium does not seem to be loading the web fonts, so the displayed font on the page is wrong. With Supermium, it's fine. Maybe a setting in Thorium? I will have to investigate.

Ah right. Just ignore me!

If that is a test page, it seems to work fine here.

I think maybe the emoticons look different on your grab to my grab because it says it's a 'Top 100', which presumably is constantly changing? Good to know that they are aware of the file selection problem.

On another subject, I've noticed when trying to add a file to a post here using Supermium, I get this - No option to actually select a file, the 'Dump Folder' folder shown definitely has files in it! Thankfully, dragging and dropping does work.

I'm seeing this, so it all looks as if it's OK.

Unfortunately I can't give you the address of that site as it's a private Health Service address which needs a login. If I spot the same issue anywhere that's generally available, I will certainly let you know. Presumably I'm not just getting squares for the same reason that the NoToEmoji font is displaying squares?

LOL! Interesting to hear that Thorium was actually around before Superium. My judgement was made purely on appearances, where the menus of Thorium and Superium appear to be identical, apart from where they reference the name of the browser. I did say earlier on in the Superium thread that there might well be differences under the bonnet though. The one thing that would possibly make me try Thorium again would be if its memory usage is better controlled than Superium.
