August 13, 20242 yr 11 hours ago, NotHereToPlayGames said: Wow! I am impressed with --enable-low-end-device-mode !!! 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! https://msfn.org/board/topic/182304-extreme-explorer-360-chromium-78-86-general-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=1194729

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

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. https://msfn.org/board/topic/186133-thorium/?do=findComment&comment=1265524
August 13, 20242 yr 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.

August 13, 20242 yr 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.

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.
