Angry birds. "Author made every time new version based on new chromium, maybe time to stop and made one old but stable release? I putted alot of time to test this unstable handmade stuff. At this point i leave this project and go ..." https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/215#issuecomment-1918460518 P.S.

I fail to understand his meaningless complaint as he's not using WinXP at all. the download link for the version 117 is still available so why not use it ?

Congratulations to the developer. Looks like you have to enable chrome://flags/#enable-search-engine-choice to get it. But yeah, it's Chromium, not something I'm too excited about in general, it's just bad for the health of WWW.

I can have 3 YT tabs open and 3 lighter sites, the computer RAM usage is still below 3 GB, about 2,9 GB, adding GMail brings it to 3,2 GB. 10 extensions active. Vanilla full-featured XP x64. Maybe some people need to rebase one of the DLLs? At least if chrome.dll is marked in orange on Modules tab of chrome.exe properties in Process Hacker. Can't say I notice any leaks. I wonder if there's any other flag besides --no-sandbox that would work-around the disappearing fonts that seems to happen in combination with Stylus. I haven't actually tried yet if this one even works at all in this Chromium, but it helped with at least one version of the old 360Chrome 13. General browsing is pretty snappy here, but things optimized to use GPU are slow, auto-scrolling also has a heavy feel to it. This is on old price/performance oriented gaming hardware from 2009, I don't count a newer GPU since it can't be utilized here, but older decent computers are still OK for heavy web browsers. Although MSFN often gives me the impression the only acceptable option is to buy only one computer in the lifetime and take it to the grave.

Thank you in advance. Nevermind, I changed my mind, its way over my head to take on such a task. Edited January 31 by XPerceniol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, but seriously, when you look at the hardware manufactured today, you cannot not notice the insignificance of the old gear. Not that you couldn't make a lighter browser, just don't expect it from Google. Though such browser probably couldn't support all the mess they've thought up should be supported by a web browser. 45 minutes ago, 66cats said: What, specifically, is FF saving? I mean it's literally kept by Google. I didn't mention FF or Mozilla specifically. There's still Moonchild Productions and The SeaMonkey Association.

Anyhow, last XP-compatible version released ~10 years ago, so irrelevant to this thread. 1 hour ago, UCyborg said: SeaMonkey Association. Last XP/Vista-compatible build released ~5 years ago. Are you suggesting the wellbeing of our beloved Information Superhighway depends on these? And the question stands: what, specifically, are they saving?
