    Fair enough. It was our talk about Android browsers that I was mainly saying was off-topic. As you why sync still works on Thorium and Supermium if it's not supposed to, I have no idea, I'm just glad that it does work!
  2. Dave-H
    Sync works perfectly on Thorium and Supermium for me, and they sync quite happily with the 'official' Google Chrome which I now have on Windows 10. I was always sorry that it wasn't there on 360Chrome. Anyway, back on topic now!
  3. Dave-H
    Rather hypocritically staying off-topic, I did look at Kiwi, but the lack of any sync facility means it doesn't have any advantage over Firefox for me on my phone, and Firefox at least still syncs with the Firefox which I still have installed on Windows 10, even though it's no longer my default browser.

    Stay on topic please guys. FWIW, I use Thorium (and maintain an interest in Supermium too) simply because I want a reasonably up-to-date browser that works on XP. I would never use either of them on Windows 10 as I can use current mainstream browsers there. As far as I'm concerned, the main advantage of using Thorium (apart from the fact that it works on XP!) is that it supports Google Sync. That replaces what I lost when I had to abandon Firefox on XP, where I used to sync with Firefox on Windows 10 and my Android phone. I can now sync Thorium and Supermium with Google Chrome on Windows 10, and this has sadly made me abandon Firefox as my default browser on my desktop after many many years. The one fly in the ointment is that Google Chrome on Android does not allow extensions, so I can't have an ad blocker there. That makes it unusable as far as I'm concerned, so I've had to stick with Firefox (with uBlock) on my phone. (I know there are a couple of Chrome browsers for Android which do allow extensions, but none of them support Google Sync.)

    Looks good when using my Nvidia graphics card - Not so good when using the ancient ATI graphics card - Perhaps not surprisingly! Not seen any problems with icons.

    I'm using the one that says it was uploaded three hours ago. I have in fact now tried it on my netbook, and it works, and on Thorium and Supermium on my desktop as well. Too early to say whether there's any significant performance improvements on my system, but I'm not holding my breath for any acceleration on the XP side of my netbook, the graphics driver I'm having to use just doesn't have it.

    Great, but I'll leave things as they are for now as I am about to take my netbook away on holiday, and I want to make sure it's OK for that! I'll update when I get back.

    I've now updated it to the 1.2.0.5055 version of progwrp.dll and the 1.2.0.5057 version of chrome-xpapi-adapter.dll which now seems to have to be in the same folder. Early days, but first impressions are that Thorium tabs no longer crash on my netbook, which is great!
  9. Dave-H
    I'm using version 1.2.0.5035 on Thorium and Supermium. I will try updating it.
  10. Dave-H
    Thorium (and Supermium) are very stable for me too. In fact, I don't think I've ever had a crash while using them unless they run out of memory, in which case only the current tab crashes, as designed. Occasionally I have had Thorium crash on start up. It appears for an instant in the taskbar, and then vanishes. Task Manager shows several thorium.exe processes still running. If I leave them alone, and just run the browser again, it then opens fine. That's on my main desktop. I've now put Thorium on the XP side of my very underpowered netbook, and that's very unstable. It opens fine, but trying to do anything often just produces a crashed tab with a 'status_access_violation' error. If I keep trying, however, the tab always eventually opens, and once the tab is open, it seems to be perfectly stable. Very odd!
  11. Dave-H
    On XP, Supermium looks exactly the same brightness as Thorium and 360Chrome for me, FWIW.
  12. Dave-H
    Indeed so! Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem, which was with the fonts on forums.digitalspy.com.
  13. Dave-H
    I'm using the SSE4 version of Thorium 122.0.6261.171, so maybe that's the reason that we're not seeing the same thing.
  14. Dave-H
    Ah, right. FWIW, when I click the update button on the extensions page on my Thorium, it does say that it's updating. Whether it actually is updating is another matter of course, but there's no error messages.
  15. Dave-H
    Is that the Web Store 0.2 extension? That has always been there on my installation of Thorium, I've never installed it myself. I always assumed it was bundled with Thorium as standard. It doesn't seem to be possible to disable it (the switch is greyed out).
  16. Dave-H
    Locked at OP's request.

    @Anbima If you try Thorium as a solution to your secure connections problems with 360Chrome, and you have issues, please address those problems in the Thorium thread. Thorium should not need the use of any proxies, as it is based on a very recent Chromium version.
  18. Dave-H
    Thank you, shows how much I know about it!
  19. Dave-H
    I assume that SSE4A was an update to SSE4, so you should be able to use the SSE4 version OK.
  20. Dave-H
    https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-legacy/releases You will have to scroll down to the second section. There are versions for SSE2, SSE3, and SSE4 systems. Chose as appropriate, and do read what it says above the links. The zip files do contain installation batch files, but you don't have to use them. It should run fine as it is.

    On my system without Thorium running, the RAM usage is around 1150/2814 (40%). With Thorium running, with no tabs open, this changes to around 1600/2814 (57%). I do have quite a few extensions installed on Thorium though, without those I suspect that the RAM usage would be considerably less.
  22. Dave-H
    Interesting. Anyway, off-topic!
  23. Dave-H
    Thorium uses less RAM that Supermium in my experience. Do you have 3GB of RAM available on your 32bit system, the maximum it can use natively? If so, Thorium is fine on all but very heavy sites like scrolling on Instagram, where it will eventually run out and crash the tab. Even with less than 3GB, it would probably be OK on most sites.

    I have to say as someone who's used Malwarebytes (Premium) for many years now, that I have never been aware of it producing false positives to justify its existence!
  25. Dave-H
    Personally, I would now just use Thorium or Supermium to access such sites on XP if security there was an issue for me.
