dmiranda Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I mention it because by mistake I run a direct shortcut I had made -like I do with all my browsers, to compare performance vis-a-vis my tweaked launchers-. I was surprised it was creating the profile in RAM, as I had instructed it to do with my customized launcher. It shouldn't have. I used whatchanged 1.07 to see changes in my c drive when launching directly again, and I could see the creation of a HKEY_USERS\S-YOURUSERNUMBER\Software\Supermium item, but nothing physical in C. I checked in my RAM drive, and it was there. I delete both the folder in RAM and the registry entry, and launched again. Both the profile in RAM and the registry entry were recreated. So, the settings to do that (including the RAM folder location) are saved somewhere else. Seeing that, I decided to copy my saved extensions/localstate+ settings in the RAM folder, delete the registry item, and launch directly again. I report in the next post what happens: I expect supermium to use the settings in the profile folder. More in a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact: why vista (and then its business version) when you could be on windows 11, I wonder. Who told you that? My pile of garbage hardware is described at "about me" section. Take my Intel Xeon x3470 (2009), for example. It's a 15 years piece of old junk, but Supermium runs fine on it, even with GPU-pocess totally disabled. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/42932/intel-xeon-processor-x3470-8m-cache-2-93-ghz.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply like Vista, Why Business? It came preinstalled with my PC. Yes, in France we trouble ourselves with legit Windows versions, probably you didn't know that fact, Officially, I couldn't - my CPU is in Windows 11 blocklist for being 15 years old. But then again, if I ever upgrade, I'll use the official Ungoogled, not Supermium, there will be no need for it then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromium browsers simply changed the user folder path somewhere around 90s versions, the launcher needs to be updated to reflect that change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiranda Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Well, it took more than a few secs. As I said in a previous post, supermium leaves chrome processes opened after closing. So that is why the supermium folder was on my RAM profiles folder, locked as being used (which it was). Running from default, supemium creates, in my set up, user data in the temp folder (which I also run from RAM). Running from there (and with my firewall allowing all connections) I could run YT and GM quite well, actually, obviously with no privacy, in the manner D Draker mentions ungoogled would not allow. I don't like that behavior, actually, but again, provided you don't care to share your info with GG and whoever else is looking over GG logs, it may give you access to stuff other browsers couldn't (including supermium prevented from exercising normal chrome spyware functions). It is not problematic for me because I run temp from RAM (so it's gone with all settings at restart). What bothers me is the info stored at HKEY_USERS\S-YOURUSERNUMBER\Software\Supermium, which looks too much like a set of uids. Articfoxie dealt with that in 360chrome with a tailored set of reg entries. I wonder if that can be replicated in this case. Cheers!

Agreed! Though I myself don't go quite that far. Official Ungoogled v114 is currently my preferred Win10 Browser (but 360Chrome remains my DEFAULT even on Win10!). I'm no longer on XP. In fact, I "now" hear the XP Crowd differently than I did when I "was" on XP. My XPS 8700 was released in 2013 but I still have and use much older hardware. But even the older hardware is now running a tweaked and optimized version of Win10. A legal version, but Microsoft themselves at times will "distance themselves" from the term "legal" when it comes to apps like nLite, as only one example. I "now" see myself as holding myself back when it came to my XP Adherence Era. But "to each their own".

Dixel Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 5 hours ago, dmiranda said: I never cared to check your profile. But the way you talk about your hardware (and, specially, about other people's hardware) makes it sound like you are running top notch stuff. More or less the same as with your English: the way you talk about how other people express themselves may make the uninformed think you studied at Harvard, at least the Sorbonne (which for those who know, you obviously didn't). It seems the same is true ref your hardware. I was just making sure. But you check mine.

Actually, with version 125 121 (typo), when I run it unconstrained, it does get widewine. I haven't tried it yet, but the folder structure and the dll are there.
