Advanced Chrome

I am currently logged in with 91.0.4435.0 so it was working before, it won't allow login on my other computer.

It is weird that v74 will still login, maybe they failed to block all versions entirely, but sooner or later they will destroy sync.

Hello! Seems Google just disabled sync service for all chromium based browsers, this is fu..up finally

Maybe is time to move to firefox...

Great, seems google fixed the problem.

Thanks for reporting.

Good point c-sanchez, the problem will be that all sync services will be proprietary and coupled with their infrastructure. An ideal sync service can be something like PHP and MySQL that are available at any webhosting and you can host this also locally. As far as I know, chromium included a python ...

Ohh thanks for reporting, will have to rebuild for x86 version, that means 4 hours again lol

Windows & Linux Latest Build 91.0.4435.0
03 - Mar - 2021

Did a quick test and passwords won't be saved if you change from x64 to x86 version with the same profile, you must start with a new profile when you change binaries from x64 to x86 and viceversa, I don't have idea why this happens because the only thing I do to build is changing from x64 to x86 on ...

Thanks for your comments and welcome to the forum.

Autoupdate will be a nice feature but I don't have the infrastructure to provide it or develop it, is not very easy to implement this kind of feature in a clean and safe way, will look into this when I get some help with development.

Hello welcome to the forum, don't worry, Manifest V2 API must be supported for some time, google isn't that stupid =)

Good tip Joel, thanks!

Hello csanchez, already posted something about this in other thread, copied here: -------------------------- Thanks for your comments and for now will keep updating Advanced Chrome until Google kill this project somehow, Google is "mad" because chromium browsers are using sync feature "for free" usi...

Hello, using windows 10 x64 so unable to test that specific setup.

I just got a full browser crash because of some memory leak, for me chrome 89 was fine until today, chrome is getting worse every day and they are adding useless new features, maybe is time to move to firefox haha

Yes posted only x64 versions for now because it takes less time to build/compile, currently trying to build x86 but this monster takes almost 3 hours even with 3.8ghz & 16 cores running at 100%, so to release a new version first I need to work on the code and sometimes they do crazy stuff on the cod...

Because that is a different repo, to modify gamma you need to work on third party/skia and that is a different repo, it is a pain to have different repos and a diff on main repo won't include childs, so I have to patch skia manually everytime.

Windows & Linux Latest Build 89.0.4388.0
18 - Jan - 2021

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...
