    I'm using version 1.2.0.5035 on Thorium and Supermium. I will try updating it.
  2. 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!

    On XP, Supermium looks exactly the same brightness as Thorium and 360Chrome for me, FWIW.
  4. Dave-H
    Indeed so! Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem, which was with the fonts on forums.digitalspy.com.

    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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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).

    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.
  10. Dave-H
    Thank you, shows how much I know about it!
  11. Dave-H
    I assume that SSE4A was an update to SSE4, so you should be able to use the SSE4 version OK.
  12. 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.
  14. Dave-H
    Interesting. Anyway, off-topic!
  15. 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!
  17. 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.
  18. Dave-H
    I deleted the original posts because they were off-topic. Unfortunately, they then still generated an ongoing conversation. Perhaps I should have just moved them to the forum issues section.
  19. Dave-H
    Having added the switch, there are now no components listed in chrome://components/ so it looks as if the switch doesn't only stop components being downloaded, as its name implies, it disables any components already on the system! Google Translate still seems to work, so that's a bonus!
  20. Dave-H
    Yes, a big difference. As mentioned elsewhere, I had also been aware of 'stuck processes' being left running when Thorium was supposedly closed down. Hopefully this will now be fixed too.
  21. Dave-H
    Thank you, that sounds like a very good 'fix', as long as I never want to use any downloaded components of course! I'm pretty sure that what trigged the download was using the Google Translate function, but I can always replace that with an extension. I have loads of things listed under chrome://components/ BTW, including "ScreenAI Library - Version: 123.9.3" which is causing the errors to be logged.
  22. Dave-H
    OK, understood. The site looks exactly the same in Thorium and 360Chrome. I don't have any other browsers on XP which are recent enough to test it on. It looks fine in both of them, but while looking around it, Thorium suddenly closed down on me, something I'd not seen before! I guess this is the problem you're seeing too. Going back to Thorium and restoring the session, it then seemed to be fine and didn't crash again. Instagram is fine on Thorium apart from the memory problem. the tab will crash if I scroll for too long. Strangely perhaps, Facebook does not have this issue.
  23. Dave-H
    Not sure why posting the link for testing purposes would be a problem, unless it's a 'dodgy' site of course, which I'm sure it isn't!
  24. Dave-H
    Any chance of actually having the link, I can't find it?! In my experience sites work very well in the recent Chrome browsers for XP, I've had very few problems, although some are inevitably starting to malfunction or are blocked in 360Chrome because of its old Chromium version.
  25. Dave-H
    Any examples of problem sites? I have to say that I haven't found a site which doesn't display correctly in Thorium (apart from the incorrect font on the Digital Spy forum site which I mentioned earlier).
