This is off-topic of course as we're talking about browsers on later operating systems, but could it be a certificate issue? Not working on 114, 119, or 115 because it's too new, and not working on 125 or 128 because it's too old?! For 122, 123, and 124 'just right' like Goldilocks' porridge!

FWIW, the Yandex site doesn't work with the latest Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 either! I can only get it to work in Firefox 130.

@bennybenny This thread is 13 years old.

The installer still doesn't seem to work in XP, but the portable version does.

I think that might be a bit of a big ask, why don't you ask him yourself?

Supermium works fine here, I'm still gobsmacked that there is a browser based on Chromium 126 which works on Windows XP! It's missing a few things which I've got very attached to with 360Chrome, such as double-clicking to close tabs, and automatically opening bookmarks in new tabs. There is a 'Chrome Plus' add-on for Chromium with gives those facilities, and I'm using it on Supermium on Windows 10, but of course it won't work on XP. Thorium has the double click to close tabs built into it, and I'm going to try and persuade win32ss to add it to Supermium as well. If he does, I will probably go over to using Supermium as my default browser on XP. It's disappointing that Thorium Legacy is now four Chromium versions behind Supermium, and there seems to be no sign of any update coming. Also, the font problem on forums.digitalspy.com on XP has now been fixed in Supermium, but it's still no good in Thorium.

@sazkion Thread is now unlocked again.

So perhaps an un-Googled 360Chrome will not do this?

2.0.126 is the latest current version of Enhancer for YouTube. I'm pretty sure that I tried to install it on 360Chrome and was told that it needed at least Chromium version 100.

Just a query. Does the update to manifest v3 for extensions affect 360Chrome? We know that it won't affect Supermium/Thorium, but that's because of steps taken by their developers. A couple of extensions have started to malfunction on my 360Chrome, and I wondered if that was the reason. The problems are actually on YouTube. Enhancer for YouTube 2.0.115 (the last that will work on 360Chrome at all) has now stopped working completely, it doesn't load. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it several times, and it makes no difference. I'm also getting a warning about my downloader, which is the SaveFrom.net helper script, running in OrangeMonkey 1.07 (again the last one that will work in 360Chrome). There is a red warning icon that the extension will soon no longer work, which I would expect on Google Chrome, but not on 360Chrome. The downloader also doesn't now work on YouTube, it says it can't find any links. It does still work on other sites like Instagram and Facebook though.

Just an update on the font problem at forums.digitalspy.com when Thorium and Supermium were used on Windows XP. It has been fixed in Supermium 126, so hopefully it will be fixed in the next update to Thorium Legacy too.

FWIW, Softpedia works fine here. No Captchas. Supermium 126.0.6478.249 x86 on XP.

Just an update. I have now indeed uninstalled Google Chrome from Windows 10, and I've installed Supermium 126 x64 instead, as the default browser. It works fine, and I've now got uBlock Origin back again! I've also updated my Supermium x86 installation on XP to version 126, all good. I'm still using Thorium 122 as the default browser on XP.

Thanks, I might play with those later. I'm not actually too worried about this, it doesn't make the sites unusable. Now I know why it's happening I can live with it, I was just puzzled as to why things had changed, now I know! It appears that I could go back to using uBlock Origin on Thorium and Supermium, but that might cause issues with the syncing of extensions with Google Chrome on my Windows 10, where I'm soon going to have to use uBlock Origin Lite, but I'll see how it goes. I know I can disable the syncing of extensions, but I actually think it's a useful feature.

... Oops dear Dave , isn't that a contradiction of sorts? Not really, as when I posted the first quote I hadn't been told by @Sampei.Nihira about the way that uBlock Origin Lite works, which gave me the clue as to what was actually happening. I hadn't made the connection until then.

I just did! Strangely, CPU-Z 2.09 on XP isn't prompting me that there's an update. I don't know if that is significant or not.

Thank you, that's probably the problem! I had to turn uBlock Origin Lite up to maximum filtering on Facebook and Instagram as otherwise the endless annoying 'sponsored posts' still get through. Looks like I'll just have to live with it as it is.

No difference with the switch added on my XP system. Still eating RAM, and then the tab process crashes.

@Dixel Thanks, I've added the '--enable-low-end-device' switch. I'll report back as to whether it helps or not. @Sampei.Nihira Thanks, but I've stopped using uBlock Origin, and I'm now using uBlock Origin Lite. uBlock Origin is going to be blocked on Chromium browsers soon, isn't it?

My copy of Thorium has now started running out of memory when scrolling on sites like Facebook and Instagram. It didn't use to do this, it was much better than Supermium in that respect, and it's been fine for months. Anyone any idea why it would suddenly start doing this, I haven't knowingly changed anything which might have caused it? Of course, the sites themselves may have changed, but any changes made haven't caused any obvious visual changes in them.

I suggest you use the 'ignore' button, that's what it's there for.

@George King With respect, we should try to engage with fellow members here, not just have their content suppressed. I hope you can address @archlinuxuser's issues, by PM if necessary. If you can't, I will address this with them.

Thank you!

FWIW, I'm now using uBlock Origin Lite on Thorium and Supermium on XP, and Google Chrome 127 on Windows 10. Like a huge number of people, I always loved uBlock Origin, but it will be disabled on Chrome soon, as we all know. The Lite version seems to work fine, and blocks as many ads as the full version, as far as I can see. My one regret is that it doesn't have the function to block elements in a page, so I'm now having to let through a few banners and the like which I used to block. I think I can live with that though. Going back to Firefox isn't really an option for me, as there is no Firefox equivalent browser for XP which will sync with Firefox on Windows 10 and my phone. (I have to use Firefox on my phone as Android Chrome does not allow extensions, and using a browser with no blocker is an absolute no-no as far as I'm concerned!)

Sorry for the delay, still been working on this! The trial version of Resource Tuner fixed the icons, thanks very much. I think I now have everything configured as it should be. Thorium is the default browser on XP, and seems to be performing fine.
