It's about knowing what to click and what not to click, what web sites to trust and what web sites not to trust, when to allow javascript, when to block javascript, et cetera. Me too!

Thanks ArcticFoxie. And thanks to @UCyborg for pointing to us the --no-sandbox switch. Is --no-sandbox switch the only way to prevent disappearing text in 360Chrome v11?

NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Could perhaps try this one also -- chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-2d-canvas I cannot test here at work but I seem to recall I was using this when I was on v11 but before I tracked my disappearing fonts to using too new of a version for Stylus. On my setup, I used to get disappearing fonts daily but I've never had them in well over six months after dropping to an older version of Stylus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mina7601 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Unfortunately, after trying the above flag, the disappearing fonts problem still persists on 360Chrome v11. Edited February 3, 2023 by mina7601 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Agreed. Same observations here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm more interested in finding a precise and repeatable process in getting fonts to disappear in v13.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like canvas acceleration ever worked on XP in the first place. Its status is written on chrome://gpu page.

NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 True. Regarding the chrome://gpu page, take note of the "Diagnostics" section. Compare/contrast that section when your 360Chrome includes the SwiftShader .dll's versus excludes the SwiftShader .dll's (excluding causes crashes on first launch each and every system restart for me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we3fan Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Same results here. Yes, some Add-ons can cause this, as seen from my Mypal+Moonscribe test. For me, the bug happens at the moment when the Moonscribe icon appears, when that icon appears in Mypal - it hides text/fonts in minimized v11. All these flags don't make a difference, disappearing fonts bug still happens in v11: disable-accelerated-2d-canvas disable-direct-write disable-software-rasterizer enable-pixel-canvas-recording lcd-text-aa enable-font-cache-scaling Any other similar flags worth testing? I can't reproduce it in v13.5 with my usual "method". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 With the gigantic RAM improvement in a rebased v13.5, why even keep v11 around? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we3fan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 YouTube sound is better for me in v11 (no sound crackles). In v12 and above, YouTube videos have crackles on the sound, and video playback is often a bit choppy/laggy. Not sure why this happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Can you right-click a YouTube video in both v11 and in v13.5 and show us the "stats for nerds" screen? Your crackles and choppiness could be due to video format and have nothing to do with v11 versus v13.5.

we3fan Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Sure, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ v11.0.2031.0 : v13.5.1030 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thanks. That does confirm that both are playing the same codec for an apples-to-apples comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
