XPerceniol Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 OK I got it - I didn't understand what Redux meant until I did more research - I guess its akin to FF ESR.
xrayer Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 (edited) Aha, so it's some minor patches around old chromium core (chrome.dll)? So there are multiple forks based on different chrome.dll developed simultaneously? Or did author decided to revert to older chrome.dll? Why not keep them for download? It seems that MiniBrowser_1.0.0.127 uses the newest chrome.dll available on XP - 87.0.4280.66 but it's something different fork. It's still confusing how many forks there are and which ones are alive and which are abandond... Edited January 26, 2024 by xrayer

Humming Owl abandoned his a very very long time ago. He even has a post here somewhere stating that he will no longer be updating any of his modified browsers. He did use public archive sites so despite the project being "abandonware", the downloads are still available. I have abandoned all EXCEPT the Redux release. Despite being on Win10 nowadays, I still use my own Redux release the vast majority of the time (with Official Ungoogled Chromium v114 the remainder of the time). I actually PREFER 360Chrome to Ungoogled Chromium v114 even though 360Chrome is SLOWER. I prefer the drag-and-drop auto-maximize, I prefer the ease of customizing the GUI, I prefer the ease of customizing context menus, the list is endless. And perhaps at the VERY TOP of that list, 360Chrome has a TITLE BAR! I really really hate hate HATE how Chrome abandoned a real TITLE BAR! It's not quite to the point of triggering a migraine or a seizure of some sort, but I NEED TITLE BARS! Edited January 26, 2024 by NotHereToPlayGames 1
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 26, 2024 Posted January 26, 2024 Work did "catch me" using 360Chrome on my lab benches and "slapped my hand" with an IT Warning. So technically I no longer use 360Chrome during office hours. IT didn't like build 2044! I did not track down if it was something about build 2044 that put me on their radar. Build 2044 was very early in its infancy when IT slapped my hand for using it at work. Personally, I have never never NEVER trusted "newer" versions of 360Chrome - while some v86 "engine" compiling is possible (but unproven!) with "newer" UPSTREAM builds, what IS IS IS provable is the ADDED telemetry with every new UPSTREAM build that we just REMOVE here at MSFN anyway. 1

ArcticFoxie/NotHereToPlayGames -- 360Chrome v13.5.1030 Redux Yeah, sorry, but whenever I see someone wanting the latest official version, I think of the latest version generally, not what people think of as the latest version. I apologize if my statement offends everyone. 2

I can't remember seeing chrome with the title bar but I also like it better and tabs can be moved up and down too. Firefox unfortunately tends to copy chrome mistakes as far as UI goes. the Supermium 121 XP backport takes up a lot of RAM maybe someone will need to rebase some dll files.
