Advanced Chrome

Hello, to make the text look better you just need to change gamma parameter on skia, this is for version 80+

Depending on the version I had to do different tricks, for older versions you need to enable GDI because you won't find skia gamma, I don't remember how to enable GDI on older builds.

Hello! sadly there is no progress and no one is trying to make it work under XP, not an easy task, maybe some genius in china might be able since they all use XP

At this point you don't have many choices for XP, you won't find a browser that works fine with current web tecnology.

Advanced Chrome is an improved version of Google Chrome, you can find the info on the home page.

Hello, looks like you are using windows XP and is no longer supported.

Advanced Chrome needs Win 7, Win 8, Win 10 or Linux (x64)

Install Ubuntu or some linux distro, they are free and much better than XP.

Creating a flag is kinda complex, not because difficulty but there are many files involved for just adding ON/OFF The main problem will be the sync issues but there might be more problems because everything is configured for a max of 3months and most of the time is hard to prevent them, sometimes is...

Already tried, not possible because it is linked to google history on the cloud and changing the parameter disables google sync.

Sad

Hello welcome to the forum, in my tests 64 bits version used more memory and performance was the same, I don't know what other advantages it may have but even chrome 32 bits is a memory hog. Did you try Advanced Chrome already? I also do heavy multitasking and never had problems, it crashes on your ...

It is hard because the source code is C++ and we are talking about 5,000 of lines of code related of NPAPI that they removed, a project like chromium has many dependencies and adding a simple feature is tricky and will affect many files. Suppose that someone manages to create a NPAPI patch for lates...

Hello, will try to undo what they destroyed regarding #overlay-scrollbars, about the chance of success will depend on how much code they removed, at this point there must be a way.

Heh yea still there are many people looking for a web browser that works under XP, I didn't knew that they are planning to kill windows 7 in one year, windows 7 and windows 10 share a similar kernel so killing something that still works is stupid, whatever they destroy can be undo easily for some ti...

Weird that you had some old version, thats why you had that problem.

Good, working now

Sadly I don't have W7 anymore to test, what version is actually running?

chrome://components/
Here is:
Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.1440.18
Status - Up-to-date

Hello, sync feature is untouched so it works exactly as google chrome, at this point I haven't heard of any password leak or vulnerability on their servers so I currenty have sync enabled. About advanced chrome vulnerabilities they will be on par with google chrome so we depend on chromium developer...

Yes, for me v84 is unusable even with all the fixes I had to make, currently I am using v74 also.

About v74 tried netflix and works fine using windows 10, have you tried with a clean profile?

Hello welcome to the forum, smooth scrolling of Advanced Chrome can't be disabled at this point, will try to create a custom flag to have some control over this on next version.

Are your video card drivers properly installed? what are your PC specs?

Yes, Custom build of advanced chrome 69 was based on chrome 48, 52, 58 and 69, as far as I remember V8 was 52 and other parts where 48 (sandbox) while it had some 58 and 69 patches, it was some kind of beast that I do not recommend using it any more.

You guys running XP need to move on, please ;D

Hello! google removed that flag time ago as far as I know, font rendering with advanced chrome is better than stock google chrome so you won't have any problem with it, Advanced Chrome font render is better than GDI, check the Chrome DirectWrite page:

https://browser.taokaizen.com/chrome-directwrite/

Hello, development still active and updates depend on google's work, I try to release very stable versions only so you can expect an update every 6 months, right now v84 is kinda buggy so you can try the older one, this is not my fault, google developers are on bad foot. Advanced Chrome won't update...

Thanks for reporting, haven't had this issue but there are many others, maybe thats why google chrome stable is still at 81.0.4044.141, sadly we must wait for google to fix their mess, version 74 was great so it will be a good rollback. Can you try checking if newer builds solve this issue?: https:/...

Heh, he really invaded this topic lol moved him to another topic I am annoyed by some of the newer bugs google devs introduced in v84, the page jumps up randomly on reload like an heuristic problem that makes the scrolling calculation, also dev tools scrolling is messed up, we have to wait until the...

Hello JiaoTongNan, I don't have the code of the GDI hack anymore, it was really easy because it was just a flag, a boolean, later it was impossible to restore GDI because google developers removed everything, we are talking about +10,000 lines of code they removed just to get rid of this.

Hello, version 69 won't work under XP, at that time material design could be disabled with some minor hack, they keep refactoring all the code so it's very hard to keep track of everything.

Sadly the last version for XP is v54, time to move to linux!

Hello!, I don't know what google devs are smoking but it is indeed not good, v84 seems very buggy, images look blury and when page is reloaded the browser can't keep the last position so it kinda jumps up. Google saying that they are skipping v82 release, at least v84 is somewhat better than my test...

Windows & Linux Latest Build 84.0.4115.0
18 - Apr - 2020

Hello larryu, thanks for your comments

Regarding next update will check if they fixed all the bugs and will try to create the new build to check if it's worth or not, they are supposed to add a new feature to group tabs so it is looking good.

Hello thanks for reporting the issue, here NETFLIX is playing fine, component section says: Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 4.10.1440.18 So it is the same as yours, I wonder what the problem is. About next update I am waiting for google developers to fix some bugs, there are some nasty...

Search in google WHAT IS MY USER AGENT and check if you really changed it, the user agent string is very specific, search online for the complete list.

Just install the extension and right click on the icon to get into options, there you add the new user agent with the full string, after that left click on the extension icon and select the new user agent.

The extension is not very user friendly but not that hard ;D

Hello, you can download the old version here: https://browser.taokaizen.com/download/Advanced_Chrome_Windows_v54.20.6530.0.zip The sites get the version info from user agent, you can use Chrome UA Spoofer to change it, since you make the site think you have latest version then it will send you some ...

Hello! this bug is probably fixed in newer chrome versions, try with the latest stock chromium for linux: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Linux_x64/ At this time latest build is: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots...

Hello! It won't run on XP, you need Windows 7 or newer, or even linux mint or any distro you like, linux is free and runs great on old computers.

Hello! this happens also using stock google chrome using the command line custom profile feature --user-data-dir="[path to folder]" so this is a google bug, even in some cases the pinned taskbar app gets merged into one, I don't have idea how to fix this, also the method they are using to make chrom...

Welcome! maybe cent browser is using the same extension, maybe cent browser developers took Multilogin source code and included it in their browser with some modifications, they don't have to develop it from scratch if there are so many available.

Advanced Chrome hooks the code before download starts so it will always ask to save, open or discard, once you click save or open it will show on chrome download manager or any download manager extension. In my case, 80% of my downloads are temporary, that means I don't want to keep the files and al...

Have you tried Multilogin extension? there are others even more customizable.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... gjaoleopfi

Advanced Chrome could include some kind of recommended extensions list, sometimes people don't even know they can install extensions

Using extensions is the best solution because you can update them without updating the entire browser, also you can check the extension source code and improve it, most of them are fully customizable. Advanced Chrome plus Elite Download Manager is the best mix, It is not included by default because ...

Tracking everything back is hard because they removed a lot of files, doing all in reverse you end here: https://cs.chromium.org/search/?q=dwrite.dll&sq=package:chromium&type=cs that goes to: /src/third_party/skia/src/utils/win/SkDWrite.cpp and the error you are getting is exactly there: static void...

They removed GDI support around april 2016, here is the info:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chrom ... 310e5c2ec8

Try reverting that commit, I used to revert that specific commit to reenable GDI, since they move the code a lot it won't be easy now.

It's weird you are having problems with DirectWrite because most rendering is made using skia and it is supposed to work fine on XP, I believe there is something else holding you back, I believe the hardest part to make it work under XP is SSL, all the stuff they added for sandboxing and NaCl. What ...

Re: New Version Available Linux Latest Build 74.0.3860.0 22 - Nov - 2019

Linux Latest Build 74.0.3860.0
22 - Nov - 2019

Do a checkout for commit a17d3798439660f1b1d4dc6a00eaafdff7425408, that is exactly 74.0.3860.0

Then just extract the file I sent over PM to you, It will build perfectly for windows, you can try building for linux to see how it goes.

Hello welcome to the forum, currently I am a little bit bussy so I haven't been able to start developing advanced chrome for linux, I also need a better browser than vanilla chromium for linux, for me should be easy but being the first linux build probably will have to tweak a lot of code to make it...

Hello Andy, usually stuff stored at windows registry related to chromium will never have 'chrome' or 'google' so the registry key you found won't work with chromium. I can not find on chromium source code any registry lookup for HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled, the variable exists becase thats the w...

Not impossible but plain hard, try this thread

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2761

DoaJC_Blogger is working on it, I don't know his current status.

Hello, welcome to the forum, building chromium 49 is going to be hard at this time because the enviroment have changed a lot, that means all the old libraries like python 2.7 are no longer online, also will be hard to compile or build v49 because they used visual studio at that time, at some point t...

v55 is still too old, you need v70 for current web tech, there is no point of using v55 right now.

Hello, welcome to the forum, I am working only on latest version of advanced chrome and sadly there is no way to make it compatible for XP, the only person currently trying is DoaJC_Blogger and you can find more info here:
