hello

Or this one
https://i.postimg.cc/YCN1RWnR/4Capture.jpg
Damn i am unmasked xd

lol give the Mullvad browser a try if you haven't, it's one of the better browsers based on firefox and it also includes its own browser based VPN

hello
Thx for the tips @r.linder
https://i.postimg.cc/8574ZCrC/4Capture.jpg
i always thought it was using the current branch and not the esr branch, this prove i was wrong and it's always better to verify by yourself xd
But it does not work very well if you try to change your default proxy location : tryed bruxel or franckfurt and coutldn't connect to anything as i guess it's something not free and i do not use vpn xd
performances , memory footprint are really similar
https://i.postimg.cc/GhKDsCHg/4Capture.jpg
it use noscript also, well, imo there is no need as there is also ublock origine
And it call too much home for my taste xd (*. mullvad.net ) even while not using it proxy feature

/================================
Nonetheless, one point i really like is it portability as the profile is saved locally on the browser folder and not on roaming.

hello

Keep in mind this is what we will see in a near future when steam will decide to jump forward on the cef version...
I am not sur many are really ready for just having a game launcher that will use around 2go memory just at launch because it use last cef releae ...
https://i.postimg.cc/hjsV9zrw/1Capture.jpg
Even with the jump from cef 85 to cef 109 , memory footprint growed from 400mo ...
https://i.postimg.cc/765TTs5C/5Capture.jpg
steam cef 85 vs steam cef 109
https://i.postimg.cc/TP4KGVtT/15-Capture.jpg
and this is the kind of result that you expect when steam will move forward on cef
https://postimg.cc/ph99vd3Y

And finally the big test
https://i.postimg.cc/Sx5XbLTk/15-Capture.jpg
steam from april 2023(cef 85) vs steam from jun 2024 ( cef 109 ) vs gog galaxy beta april 2024 ( cef 74 ) vs epic game from jun(cef 90)vs brave cef 123

Chrome(ium) 122 works very well on Win7 via Thorium Legacy. I've been using it daily along with Mercury (Firefox 115 ESR) for several weeks and enjoying the performance bump of the AVX / AVX2 builds.

This seems to be the case on this PC. I just ran a quick set of tests on Mercury 115.11.0es and Firefox 115.12.0esr.

The following benchmarks were all pretty close between them with no clear winner:

Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate (Build 7601) can all be updated using UpdatePack7. The current release is 2024.6.12 and I have used it myself on several Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate PCs.

*sigh* There you go again... why do you keep doing this? NO! That is COMPLETELY FALSE! There are NO UPDATES AT ALL inside of UpdatePack7 for Windows 7 Home, Pro, or Ultimate. UpdatePack7 ONLY contains updates for Windows Embedded Standard 7 or Windows server 2008.

These are the current udpates Iinstalled on this (and many other) Windows 7 PC(s) since 2023 via UpdatePack7. New updates are added every month.

KB4503575? I have no idea where you get it from.
Can you tell me what these updates do? I ask because, for example, the last five Windows Quality Rollups replace packages that have already been patched with (the latest) old patches. Service stack updates are not interesting, they have nothing to do with the OS. :/

[_I_]

KB4503575 looks like a typo
probably KB5035??? or something
