OPEN SOURCE software is a "team effort".  Period.

Please provide with a link where the author clearly states his softwaie is Open Source, and he (she?they?, if they work as a team) doesn't/don't mind it gets redistributed/modified.

Quite. Alex is not hiding the fact that he's using code from Win32ss. 🙂

Why not release a better optimised product together, then? One million releases with constant fixes only confuses people. And what does he mean by "legacy" Thorium repo? It's also confusing since Windows 7,8,8.1 are all legacy, too.

Circular Reasoning Fallacy

Please provide a link where either one of these authors has accused the other of Intellectual Property Theft.

It doesn't work that way, here we respect intellectual property, even though we understand most of it belongs to another man (win32), despite all of the above, there needs to be a clear statement with Open Source code published by the author, none of that happened, so far.

It's meaningless, since many people simply don't report crimes, don't want to get involved with the police, etc, and the issue is rather serous (remember the scandal you mentioned), Supermium browser, which this one is based on, is paid.

Interesting,so you use Thorium in a VM.
Have you tried checking the Policy below: 

NetworkServiceSandboxEnabled - true

is it OK?

Yes, tested in Windows XP VM under Linux Mint.

`NetworkServiceSandboxEnabled` didn't have an effect (doesn't work on unsupported operating systems).

 

PS,

I think I know why my manually written policy under `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Thorium` doesn't work.

I have not applied the adml file from `thorium_policy_templates.zip` (no idea where to put it under XP, to be honest).

As Alex is quite openly stating publicly that he's using code from Supermium, not trying to do it behind Win32ss's back, I would have thought that Win32ss would have done something about it by now if they objected, even if only by initially asking Alex nicely to stop doing it!
:yes:

That file reports a different registry path than the one you wrote down 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome

try checking:

HCU\.........

 

P.S.

I noticed that the policy "NetworkServiceSandboxEnabled" is true in the file.

So theoretically it should work.

Try the Command Line Switch: 

--enable-features=NetworkServiceSandbox

The file `chrome.reg` in `examples` looks like this: 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; thorium version: 122.0.6261.169

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Thorium]
"AbusiveExperienceInterventionEnforce"=dword:00000001
"AccessCodeCastDeviceDuration"=dword:0000003c
"AccessCodeCastEnabled"=dword:00000001
"AccessControlAllowMethodsInCORSPreflightSpecConformant"=dword:00000001
"AccessibilityImageLabelsEnabled"=dword:00000000
"AdditionalDnsQueryTypesEnabled"=dword:00000001
"AdsSettingForIntrusiveAdsSites"=dword:00000001
"AdvancedProtectionAllowed"=dword:00000001
"AllowBackForwardCacheForCacheControlNoStorePageEnabled"=dword:00000001
"AllowCrossOriginAuthPrompt"=dword:00000000
"AllowDeletingBrowserHistory"=dword:00000001
"AllowDinosaurEasterEgg"=dword:00000000

(etc.)

And the file `chrome.adm` starts with; 

; thorium version: 122.0.6261.169
CLASS MACHINE
  CATEGORY !!chromium
    KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Thorium"

    CATEGORY !!ScreenCapture_Category
      POLICY !!SameOriginTabCaptureAllowedByOrigins_Policy
        #if version >= 4
          SUPPORTED !!SUPPORTED_WIN7
        #endif
        EXPLAIN !!SameOriginTabCaptureAllowedByOrigins_Explain

        PART !!SameOriginTabCaptureAllowedByOrigins_Part  LISTBOX
          KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Thorium\SameOriginTabCaptureAllowedByOrigins"
          VALUEPREFIX ""
        END PART
      END POLICY

(etc.)

Are you sure you looked at the latest zip file: 

https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-legacy/releases/download/M122.0.6261.169/thorium_policy_templates.zip

Btw, I'm not planning to apply any of these on XP.

When needed I do it manually (checked that it works under the `Chromium` key with e.g. : 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Chromium]
"DnsOverHttpsMode"="automatic"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Chromium]
"DnsOverHttpsTemplates"="https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query"

(checked with `netstat -an`)

OK,you have the PC with VM W.XP.
Mine was just a theoretical curiosity.:yes:

And certainly the topic is boring to other MSFN members.
Have a good evening.:hello:

Looking at the Thorium performance settings, I was intrigued by this -

Clipboard-3.thumb.jpg.ae468533ca05517f9349ad48946bb9a7.jpg

Switching u-Block off for just that page makes no difference, but if uBlock is disabled completely, the option becomes available again.
This is the same in Supermium BTW.
:dubbio:

When uBlock Origin is installed, it controls the preloading of websites. You do not have to disable uBlock Origin to control this feature again, you can simply enable the option "Disable pre-fetching" in uBO's dashboard page "Settings" as already mentioned by @Dixel. :)
