Advanced Chrome

Hello c-sanchez! Indeed there are very good programmers that reject OOP and most of the time the rejection will be related on how it is implemented, bloatware and the current trend of anti-pattern practices against the objects. I believe OOP must be used on memory persistent apps with interfaces, th...

Hello welcome to the forum, nice to see a computing enthusiast around here! Didn't knew the web.archive saved big zip files so it is interesting, M54 was a good build but as the web moves forward I don't think is a good option anymore. What really worries right now is the google / chrome situation, ...

Google Chrome will enable the flag soon, seems that they enabled the flag pretty much at the same time I downloaded their sources and the Google Chrome you are talking about might be based on older sources even if the version number is higher, this is because they create separate branches not availa...

Try opening firefox and google chrome at the same page, try browser.taokaizen.com and compare the quality of the logo, you must notice chrome is very blurry, all page fonts are very light and washed out, the image problem exist in windows and linux, the font problem is only on windows. Advanced Chro...

Looks like some setups crash with youtube because google enabled some new features, to fix this problem disable the following:
chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features

Currently I am using Firefox, at least fonts look better, image resample is millions time better, speed is almost the same also the browser keeps original image colors, so what this means? Chrome renders terrible fonts, small scaled images look blurry, images seem to be tweaked to have vivid colors,...

Interesting, but to attach chrome.dll to some chrome.exe you have to be sure there is total match between versions. They can include a DLL without an EXE because you are supposed to patch your current chrome install, I my opinion EXE and DLL must be exact build to work properly, even it may work par...

Yes its funny how google chrome can be the worst browser for youtube, also just noticed that firefox is much faster loading google charts (100% javascript) so I guess the javascript engine or rendering engine of firefox is faster. About the flag is not that hard to add a return; somewhere to disable...

I already tried stock chrome and is at the same speed of advanced chrome at least here on my hardware, firefox here runs like 20% faster with half the memory usage, also seems to be more stable, it feels better overall.

Yes because I have windows 10 and both versions work fine, using right now x64 and haven't had a single crash, the build is fine because I apply the same patches as always, the problem is that google damaged some part of the browser while they were fixing vulnerabilities, I don't know if they alread...

I don't have a "release scheme" so updates depends on how the "newer" versions work, sometimes they suck and they start removing stuff like NPAPI so I try to stay with the good old version, but sometimes is time to update because newer versions are working better, I try to test them a lot so there i...

Here with windows 10 I have tried both and no problems, there is something wrong with the new builds, I can send you the newer build not published here so you can try if you get STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, if you are not getting it anymore then is good..

Firefox needs some tweaks so will be nice to have an Advanced Firefox :D Even it Firefox is not perfect I didn't know how much Chrome sucks behind, Chrome fonts are really blurry once you start to get used to Firefox, also Firefox is like 40% faster at least here, as far as I can remember firefox wa...

Already built a 96.x but still has many problems, there are many vulnerabilities in all previous versions because the sandbox they developed don't even work properly.
It is so bad that I am moving to Firefox for now, feels much faster but I miss advanced chrome download manager.

Hello everyone, tried to update current version to latest chromium source that includes some vulnerability fixes, but the new version is terrible and slow, also crashes a lot, print preview is not even working, seems google devs are having a bad month so we will have to wait a while, new version is ...

Hello welcome to the forum, default chrome scrolling is awful, even edge browser replaced it, here scrolling works really smooth "tablet" like on advanced chrome, there is always space to improve but how? does it flickers? what hardware specs you got?

Seems it's hitting STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION bug introduced by Google 3 months ago, the only way to fix this issue is updating to a newer version, I don't know what triggers this bug but even edge is affected.

Going to update soon to a newer build.

Hello, the problem you getting is when chrome profile gets paired with a different version regarding x86 vs x64, that means if profile is opened with x86 it gets damaged and stops working with x64 binaries. This happened to me testing x86 version, lucky I had a backup of my profile. Hopefully google...

Windows & Linux Latest Build 94.0.4590.0
31 - Jul - 2021

Hello Jolly, welcome to the forum. Uploaded the source code for latest version but it had a different name so it was not linked from the website, changed the file to patch.txt so next time it gets overwritten. You can search the code for portable.txt, you will see both checks, linux and windows (cod...

Hi, welcome to the forum,

I haven't actually included a license file with Advanced Chrome, but it would be MIT anyway so you can bundle it as you wish, just keep it fair with the user leaving Advanced Chrome clean =)

Hello, welcome to the forum

If they provide a GIT patch or some way to add MathML support then I can integrate that into next version of advanced chrome.

They have many repos, which is the good one?

Hello, Will only work on Win 7, Win 8, Win 10
Sadly Vista is like windows XP, no support available since they are very old now.

Welcome to the forum! =)

Windows & Linux Latest Build 94.0.4581.0
20 - Jul - 2021

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.
