Thorium

[D.Draker]

The author released a half year old version, claiming  it "isn't going to turn your computer into some sort of virus magnet"...

The description is big and confusing, does it work on Vista? No clear mentions.

Oh, I just noticed, as usual with those blind brightness die-hards, the contrast is AGAIN increased!!!

GEEEEZZZ!!!!!

"Text contrast increased "

Unfortunately, there are no legacy releases , especially for a Windows XP die hard fan like me : https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-legacy/releases

Thank you very much, dear @AstroSkipper, unfortunately, I lost interest as soon as I saw the usual increase in brightness/contrast. I don't understand why those folks, win32ss and Alexander, keep pushing it up and up.

I abandoned Thorium when it became very clear that there weren't going to be any more versions in the near future, if ever, which would run on XP.
A version based on Chromium 122 doesn't really cut it any more.
Why that decision seems to have been made I have no idea, but thank goodness that we still have Supermium!

I think there might be a reason they got stuck at 122. If you're going to throw rotten tomatoes at me, make sure they're of British origin and organic.

True. Also sad, as that version really isn't that old. Today I found myself unable to log into my discover.com account using Thorium. Seriously?

Perhaps a UAO would've gotten me in, but the discover.com site was not at all helpful with regard to minimum supported browser versions. I only tried a Chromium 125 user agent, which didn't work.

Version 125 works with Chase, which is only reason I tried even that one UAO. As a Windows 7 user, it was easier for me to just try R3dfox, which worked, so I didn't pursue UAOs any further.

a Question
How do you export All bookmark, cookies, etc on thorium

[DrWho3000]

where and how do I update thorium to latest version

and

where do i change the useragent so it is upto date and version so it is (like in 360explorer (360Loader file))

[Mathwiz]

Unfortunately the Thorium author has not released a new version of Thorium since v.122.

But for a user agent to make Thorium "look" newer, you could try adding

--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/132.0.5047.196 Chrome/132.0.5047.196 Safari/537.36"

... to the end of the command in your Thorium shortcut. Any Web server looking at that will think you're using Chrome 132 on Ubuntu Linux. That may get you past "please update your browser" pages or nags at some sites.
