Outdated, experimental flag, removed long ago, you can check yourself.

It's still in Ungoogled Chromium v122.

I cannot verify Thorium (also at v122!) from here at work.

Here at work, it's not uncommon for any Chromium-based browser to exceed 4 GIGABYTES OF RAM after a few system hibernate/resume when the Chromium-based browser is running Google Voice + Gmail + Teams Chat + Teams Calendar + YouTube.

This will require additional testing, of course.  As these four gigabytes of RAM takes an UNKNOWN number of hibernates/resumes.  On a computer with 32 GB of RAM, it's never been an issue.

But from what I am seeing so far is that the amount of RAM being used by Chromium-based browser is now THE SAME before and after a hibernate/resume.

Will monitor.  Plans are to KEEP this --enable-low-end-device-mode flag until/if I end up seeing any possible negative side effects.

I even suggested it in your thread!

I wouldn't quite say it that way.  I think it was also you (do not remember!) that was suggesting I axe "vulkan" .dll's.

THAT suggestion KILLED my Chromium-based on MY computer.  So yeah, I started "listening" a tad differently.

That was @D.Draker.

Doesn't matter, I replied to you, persoanally,

I even suggested it in this thread on page 25, since I know it works good with Thorium, you again didn't listen.

No matter.

Regardless, I am impressed with this flag and so far "it's a keeper".

However, I have witnessed these types of flags do great things in Win10 but do NOTHING in XP.

I'm kind of waiting to see if @AstroSkipper has success with it on his XP.

BTW, Vulkan simply can't load on XP, it needs Vulkan drivers, and none of those exist to this day.

lol, my Thorium experience is EXTREMELY limited - until when/if it ever becomes "ungoogled".

Ungoogled keeps many flags the upstream doesn't, I'm not surprised.

All I can tell you is that on an XP x64 system, I NEED THESE VULKAN FILES !!!  Period!

Replace with empty stabs, see what it gives you. 

[NotHereToPlayGames]

I have.  Regardless of what you and D.Draker think on this matter, I CANNOT LAUNCH 360CHROME ON XP x64 "when I follow your advice" regarding VULKAN FILES.

But this computer (12th Gen Intel Core i7-12850HX with 32 GB RAM running Win10 Enterprise 22H2 certainly does not qualify as "low-end").

Google's definition of "Low end" is very laxed, I tried to run Thorium on an ancient 775 socket computer, it still says: low end - no.
