By any chance, no PAE patch?

64-bit OS.  Even my XP is 64-bit.  I thougth the PAE patch was only for those trying to get XP x86 to see more then 4 GB RAM ???

Using BOTH process tamer 2.14 (which comes in the portable zip of the app), together with process lasso (set supermium "always" priority class to below normal) works in my set up to tame processor usage peaks, making supermium quite stable, actually (compared to using either app separately or, needless to say, none of them).

A new public release of Supermium by win32 showed up a few hours ago, still on the M122 Chromium core: 

https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v122-r4

As always, read first very well all the associated Release Notes and finer details  ... 

FWIW, take note of:

https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/531

that is, if you're gonna use the provided installer to perform an "on-top update" (update a previous Sm installation), better reboot your OS before doing so (registry-entries related issue ...).

VERY IMPRESSED so far !!!

Even in a single-core VirtualBox VM running XP x86 SP3.

"Ungoogled" is still not fully ungoogled - there should be no "1 app (Web Store)" in a fully ungoogled variation.

They say you need to launch from a specially created icon (shortcut), did you do that?

This is only Windows 7 related.

My XP continues to cut off the left edge of GUI fonts (web rendered fonts are fine).

This is true in Supermium, Thorium, CatsXP, Chromium ESR 92, and Chromium ESR 108.  In XP only.

What can I do to assist in FIXING this - I will not become a GitHub member, so what else can I do to assist in tracking this nuance down?

Yes.

It's a pity, I kinda hoped for a faster Ungoogling process. What exactly was Ungoogled, then?

Hmm... are any of these work on XP? CatsXP doesn't even start on Vista without Kernel.

CatsXP... In XP only

OT , but which specific version of CatsXP was XP-compatible?

Strange, it doesn't mention whether these fixes were applied.

OT.

Last Vista one was probably based on Chrome 85, if I'm not mistaken. XP, most likely from 2016.

See what it looks like if you use the scaling switches I'm using.

/high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1

That fixed a lot of font issues for me.

My bad, my v115 is not "CatsXP", unsure why I thought it was.  And yes, I have Chrome versions v92, v108, and v115 that all run on XP!

v92 and v108 are corporate versions, and NO, I cannot and WILL NOT distribute them !!!

v115 has been discussed on MSFN.  I forget where, exactly, but this site has a "search feature" for those so inclined to hunt it down.
