ArcticFoxie/NotHereToPlayGames -- 360Chrome v13.5.1030 rebuild 8

**NotHereToPlayGames** · March 11, 2023

Note - there is a known issue if you run this browser with a very long sub-folder file name. Please rename the downloaded file upon download, the names here are only to distinguish their differences.

This thread is devoted primarily to WinXP and a Chromium fork based on Chromium v86.

Any discussions regarding v86 and its "age" will be reported to the mods as "disrespect" and in direct violation of Forum Rule 7.b.

7.b This community is built upon mutual respect. You are not allowed to flame other members. People who do not respect personal opinions and/or personal work will be warned in first instance. If you ignore the warning and keep on flaming, you will be banned without notice.

This project is my personal work that I share with MSFN because there is a need for a "relatively modern" web browser for use in WinXP and v86 has performed "reasonably well" in that regard.
The user-base is perfectly aware that XP will not serve 100% of our needs, that v86 will not serve 100% of our needs, we know this and accept this, we are not here to be told to "move on" from XP and what works for us in XP.
We The Community can respect this endeavor in the same manner that we respect content shared at MSFN threads devoted to Win98 and Win2000 without trolling such threads and citing "age".

Many thanks to all that continue to support this personal work.

There is a combination of several versions to choose from.
Regular versus Ungoogled -- ungoogled intentionally breaks telemetry sent to the Chrome Web Store, this in turn breaks the "Add to Chrome" feature at the Chrome Web Store so extensions need added via other means.
WebGL enabled/disabled -- WebGL may or may not work on older hardware, so mileage may vary.
Translation enabled/disabled -- Chromium-based browsers have an embedded Google Translate context menu feature, I offer versions with and without this embedded feature.
WinXP / Win10 skin -- I only use this browser in WinXP and therefore I prefer it to look-and-feel like everything else I run in WinXP. Others prefer the more "modern" Chrome GUI and the Win10 skin attempts to please that crowd.

If I may say so, anyone who would flame you/criticize your hard work isn't someone I would want to associate with, here or elsewhere.
I took a few days off to consider things, and was giving serious thought to returning to XP x64. Seeing you did another 360v13.5 build was all the motivation I needed, so I'm back (and plan to stay with it; thankfully, any concerns about future upgrades are now settled, so for now I can use XP safely and happily). Thank you very much for continuing to devote time and effort to this fantastic project!

I've never had a problem with 360 at any point...aside from the weird 'rewriting files' bug for which a very simple workaround exists (one you don't need an addon for), every version of 360 I have tried, from you and other sources, has been an absolute joy to use.
I think at this point I'm going to stick with 360, while allowing for other options (Mypal68, MiniBrowser, older/newer roytam1 builds, etc.) as alternate browsers and, of course, keeping track of any new developments.
360 is pretty much as good of a balance as possible: it uses a good modern engine with solid support for recent web standards, still has Flash support (and can even use NPAPI plugins!), and thanks to your optimization is performing well on my old HP S5-1020. Actually, the performance is far better than Mini and competitive with 9.5/11/12, something I wasn't sure could be achieved with 13.x.

It's funny because every time I try something newer, I keep going back to XP. It is a near-flawless masterpiece of an OS. I still maintain, and I'll stand by this until the day I pass, that if Microsoft had simply let XP be the last Windows and just kept offering updates and kernel improvements, they would have avoided a lot of BS and still made a lot of money. Again...thank you for doing what you do, sir!

First build link: unable to download - many problems in WinRAR v3.9.1.1...: "File name or extension too long; The specified path not found - Total path and file name lenght must not exceed 260 characters"; after click on 360Loader.exe from extracted 2.22 MB (!) folder: "360Chrome has encountered a problem and must close.... ModVer : 13.51030.0 ... Offset:000d1cf3" - so it doesn't start...

In the file name:

"regular_webgl-disabled_translate-disabled" could it be: reg_webgl-off_tr-off ?

"ungoogled_webgl-disabled_translate-disabled" could it be: ung_webgl-off_tr-off ?

- could you make the version with dark mode (and without webgl nor translate), please?..

No. There is an intermittent "flash" where the default LIGHT background is presented and then "quickly changed" to dark.

It doesn't change "fast enough" and I will never associate my name with that "flash" - it induces migraines and seizures to some folks.

I was afraid that might happen.

Until I can change all the names, you should be able to right-click and select Save-As and then change the name.

Also, save to a directory as close to the root directory as possible, avoid adding too many characters to the path name.

I've never liked the default "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Downloads", already at 60-some characters.

[CONFIRMED] none of the regular versions works here as they all trigger Dr.Watson

before you ask I tried them all on a third clean partition one by one.

I will stick with the rebuild 7 until it finally settles down.

@NotHereToPlayGames Your efforts are always appreciated, I really like 360Chrome. Thank you so much for that. Continue on your hard work, and never let people who don't like your personal work discourage you!

Interesting.

I see that you are running three instances of 360Chrome and Dr. Watson only triggered on the multiple instances.

I do not have Dr. Watson has part of any of my XP installs so about all I can suspect is that this is due to rebuild 8 being rebased at a different address then rebuild 7.

Which version are you using (webgl, translation, skin)? I can upload a chrome.dll that is rebased at a different address and see if that solves your Dr. Watson trigger.
