XPerceniol Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Hello there.. I have only used v13 a few times and went back to v12 (which works very well overall); but I am starting to think, unless you guys are updating/patching (so to speak, of course) , then perhaps, I should upgrade to v13.5 and am trying it today. Thus far, much improved sound and response when changing from 1 video to the next. Much better. Funny because I'm trying to catch up here and I'm seeing people having issues with deleting form local storage ( I leave the directory in place but delete Local Storage\leveldb and I'm not having issued .. but also I don't need to save anything when I'm done. I've been using your default: [RunAfter] DirRemove=%Profile%\safemon|e DirRemove=%Profile%\Webstore Downloads|e DirRemove=%Profile%\BrowserMetrics* DirRemove=%Profile%\ShaderCache DirRemove=%Profile%\GrShaderCache\GPUCache DirRemove=%Profile%\GrShaderCache|e FileDelete=%Profile%\*-journal*;chrome_shutdown_ms*;switch_core*;*.log;Last * FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\*.tmp;*-journal;log;log.old;*.log FileDelete=.\Chrome\Application\*.log;*.tmp DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Code Cache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\GPUCache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Media Cache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Pepper Data DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\DailyBackup DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\File System DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Service Worker\CacheStorage And used ccleaner to empty the other directories. Again, learning here still. The only problem I'm running into is with 360ChromePortable_13.5.1030_rebuild_3_ungoogled\Chrome\Application\13.5.1030.0\sslblock.zip\sslblock.html This is not in English. I've deleted it and just get a blank page. I'm still having certificate issues that I don't have in v12 for some reason.

NotHereToPlayGames Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 I prefer v11 99% of the time. I use v12 every once in a while and v12 actually scores higher on pretty much every benchmark score you can throw at these browsers. BUT v11's GUI loads in a THIRD of the time that v12's GUI loads and that's more important to me than the very slight benchmark difference. My local copy of v13.5 uses this ("string" values below correspond to extension IDs) -- [RunAfter] DirRemove=%Profile%\safemon|e DirRemove=%Profile%\Webstore Downloads|e DirRemove=%Profile%\BrowserMetrics* DirRemove=%Profile%\ShaderCache DirRemove=%Profile%\GrShaderCache|e DirRemove=%Profile%\PnaclTranslationCache DirRemove=%Profile%\pnacl DirRemove=%Profile%\PepperFlash DirRemove=%Profile%\plugins FileDelete=%Profile%\*-journal*;chrome_shutdown_ms*;switch_core*;*.log;Last * FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\*.tmp;*-journal;log;log.old;*.log;*.ldb FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\*.txt;*.bak;reext;ruc FileDelete=.\Chrome\Application\*.log;*.tmp FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string1\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string2\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string-id\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string3\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string4\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string5\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string6\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Extension Settings\string7\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Storage\leveldb\LOCK;LOG;LOG.old;*.log FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Local Storage\*-journal FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\MANIFEST-*;*.ldb;*.tmp;*.bak;*-journal;Archived History;History Provider Cache;Visited Links;Current *;Last * FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\360Bookmarks FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Cookies FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Google Profile.ico FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\History FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\History Provider Cache FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Media History FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Network Action Predictor FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Network Persistent State FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\QuotaManager FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Reporting and NEL FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Secure Preferences FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Shortcuts FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Top Sites FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\TransportSecurity FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Visited Links DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Cache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Code Cache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\GPUCache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Media Cache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Pepper Data DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\DailyBackup DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Application Cache DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\AutofillStrikeDatabase DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\blob_storage DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\BudgetDatabase DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\DailyRollingBackup DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\data_reduction_proxy_leveldb DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\databases DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Extension Rules DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Extension State DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Extensions\Temp DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Feature Engagement Tracker DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\File System DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_strind-id_0.indexeddb.leveldb DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\JumpListIcons DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\JumpListIconsOld DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Platform Notifications DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Service Worker DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Session Storage DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Sessions DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Site Characteristics Database DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\shared_proto_db DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\Sync Data DirRemove=%Profile%\Default\VideoDecodeStats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msfntor Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 In one DcBrowser.exe process I've seen its service: emule-ext ... it's extended emule protocol (queue rating, file reask ping) - is it secure? Then it disappeared... From the web: "eMule is a file-sharing program that uses so-called peer-to-peer (P2P) techniques, i.e. it does not rely on a central server. eMule supports all connected computers and establishes their connection...."

If so, there may be a hidden API "download manager" being used by DcBrowser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know, you thought I was just a dark skin fan ... I changed it depending on my mood (which changes from day to day ... Lol) I use: --ssl-version-min=tls1.2 And still, having certificate issues with some sites with ghacks and https://freemusicarchive.org/ Anyway ... will report back another time with any issues. Will just post this for now while I'm (somewhat) alert :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerceniol Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Works very well and I'm looking forward to continued development and I'm impressed! Still haning on to Serpent (as you can see) but seems like Chrome IS our future going forward ... whether we like it, or not. Good night all..

I can add that skin as one of the options for a future "Builder". If I recall, that skin works very well with the rest of my GUI modifications - the only real reason I disabled it is more for "uniformity" with basically ALL other software on my computer, personal preference. I've never understood why Chrome got rid of the "title bar". I can understand back when a 17" square monitor was pretty much standard and all it could do was 1280x1024 and that "title bar" used half an inch of real estate. But nowadays with widescreen monitors basically running 1920x1080 or higher, that "title bar" is half the size of what it was on a 17" square monitor. Not like the days when we were running 800x600 and 25 pixels for a "title bar" was 4.2% of our vertical real estate. Contrast with 2.3% for 1920x1080.

XPerceniol Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Gosh ... its hard to get 1 by you. Seriously, though, I was under the impression that even showing a newmoon icon antagonized MCP and I don't wish to do so at all. I guess we have to be causious per the drama going on over there as I don't want to add to any trouble for us here. Perhaps I should have not even posted this. Oh, and, that is real "whiteout" on the screen ... I used up almost a whole bottle just on that pic. I am blonde ... no not really Edited November 22, 2021 by XPerceniol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Regarding Dev Tools reverting to Chinese in versions newer than v13 build 2206 -- new incognito window Dev Tools will also always revert to Chinese. Exists in original Chinese so carries over to anybody-and-everybody that rebuilds anything newer than v13 build 2206. Have not found any way to hard code default to English.
