Anyone knows what the hold up is in creating a 64bit version for Windows? Searching for it, I land on a bunch of outdated wiki paged at their project site.

I use the 64bit versions of Firefox. They appear to be faster, and they're currently a little more resilient, because any buffer overrun exploits and the like are not expecting 64bit mode.

Google just advertised a goddamn Chromebook on my home/bookmark screen. Is that a sign of things to come? If in future I'm already getting hammered with ads before even having surfed to a single URL, I'll gladly go back to Firefox.

Does anyone know by chance a Chrome extension, that'll highlight results from specific sites within the search results on Google? Pretty much the opposite of Personal Block List. It'd help when checking out results when following up on search terms showing up in Google Analytics.

Dev channel Chrome has a flag for DirectWrite now. Seems to work OK, don't see much of a difference, because you can't select any of the alternative antialiasing modes, including 2D ClearType.

Should you ever have issues with Chrome and bigger sites that use IPv6 and wide content distribution networks, say like Youtube frequently throwing video errors, this may be related to a technique called Happy Eyeballs, which tries to initiate connections to a server on both IPv4 and IPv6, so that it can fall back onto IPv4 should the server on IPv6 not react quickly enough (say you have a flaky IPv6 connection like a tunnel). This is a technique the IETF thought up to minimize end user pain during the transition the next decade or so. The problem however is that sites like Youtube are interested in protecting their data, and if an IP address that hasn't been authorized tries to directly access the content server, it'll get blocked or returned a no-content error. Authorization to a specific content server comes by loading the video page first, which incidentally tells your browser what server to access. If it enables your IPv6 address to go ahead and Chrome suddenly decides it rather wants to use the initiated IPv4 connection, there's going to be a problem. Sadly, the Chromium developers don't seem to be interested in letting end users disable Happy Eyeballs. Which is disappointing, considering that technique has been suspected for a variety of issues according to their bugtracker. Personally, it means I have to defer to Firefox, which lets you disable Happy Eyeballs (IE up to version 11 doesn't even do it), because I fully intend to use my IPv6 connection, given that it's native.

Is Chrome doing some other sort of DNS lookups beyond the servers set in your network interfaces? IE and Firefox have no problems with the changed DNS settings of my domain. However in Chrome, after clearing the DNS cache, it works for a while and suddenly lookups appear to be returning old data again.

Anyone else having grief with the Adblock Plus extension, where it sometimes just locks up all IO with a message in the status bar saying "Waiting for Adblock Plus extension"? Disabling (and reenabling) makes it go away. I'm on 64bit beta-m.

Looks like it's worthwhile to completely kill Chrome every few hours. Because it appears after long runtime, it enters some weird state that'll keep the CPU running at a high clock, despite idling pages and generally low CPU usage. Made up to 20W difference on the Kill-a-watt leaving an old Chrome session idle vs. a fresh one with the same pages opened.

So I guess Google feels threatened by Chredge, otherwise I don't see why they started copying the new UI pages that Edge introduced. Since they're not that Material Design to begin with.

I have a bunch of lag issues with Chredge (and also Chrome), when video is playing and it resizes smoothly for whatever reason, e.g. the site doing an animation when switching viewport sizes, or there being user resizable elements. That lag caused weird issues internally, leading to an eventual GPU driver crash after some runtime. I eventually noticed that it only happens on my primary display but not the secondary one, and finally tracked it down to multimonitor while using VRR/G-Sync. Disabling fullscreen-only G-Sync made things work flawlessly. Of course, that's not an option. Finally, I found that if you go into Edge/Chrome flags/experiments and force the ANGLE backend to D3D11on12, everything's smooth as butter, with two displays and G-Sync. So if you have weird issues, try that one.

So regarding WebGPU and all this stuff, Chromium is having this Dawn stuff, which is their implementation. Is the Chromium renderer going to move onto Dawn eventually? Just wondering as to when we'd get a proper D3D12 renderer in Chrome.

Is there a way or extension in Chrome/Edge to tell webservers to gently caress off with their WEBP format? What's the most annoying is that it shows as a JPEG in the link and wanting to save it, it'll do as WEBP. Why even? Also, why the gently caress does Photoshop still not support the WEBP format, anyway? (Since I'm wanting to reuse the stuff.) --edit: I've been messing with ModHeader to specifically exclude WEBP, turns out a bunch of web servers are being douchy and ignoring the formats Accept (and yea, I'm delisting */*).

So this Manifest V3 bullshit that's coming and loving over adblocking extensions... any way to deal with this? I'm running Adguard Home as DNS relay here on my network, but that only blocks traffic to specific servers, and won't deal with inline stuff. Any other possibilities, should the doom and gloom prove correct? Like some HTTP(S) proxy type of solution?

Eh, since it's a core part of Chromium and I don't expect other Chromium based browsers to keep a forever fork, they're all affected. Firefox meh. If it comes to that. As far as HTTPS proxying, I was more thinking of self-hosted solutions.

Is there any particular reason why Chromium based browsers refuse to resolve anything at all, as soon the Internet connection to the outside world is down, despite a local DNS server that keeps working just fine? I have Adguard Home running, that rewrites a bunch of DNS entries (*.home stuff). Earlier my DSL line went down, figured to check my modem, which is at fritzbox.home and Edge claims a DNS error and it can't resolve the URL. I'm like what? Try Chrome instead, same poo poo. I try nslookup, it does it just fine. I fire up Firefox, it ain't bothered by it, either. Why is Chromium being this obnoxious?

Adguard is the only DNS server Chromium knows about, per ipconfig and considering I have my DHCP server serve only its IP as DNS service. When I stop the Adguard container, resolves in the browser break as expected. What's uncool is that it also breaks when the upstream connection goes down. There's no reason for that, IMO. As said earlier, the system resolver (via nslookup) keeps resolving just fine. I mean I understand if it doesn't resolve say google.com, because it relies on upstream data (if the cache is cold, anyway), but the rewrites should keep working. I don't think DNSSEC should matter on a local .home TLD.

The current Edge Beta release leaves a shitload of child processes running when you close it, which appear to be the plugin containers among other things, based on the error toasters that pop up closing some of them. This happens despite unchecking "Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed". And they do hog quite some memory after some runtime, thanks to being Chrome. Thanks Microsoft/Google/whoever hosed this up.

There shouldn't be any PWAs on the system. At least none that I knowingly installed. Unless I hit the main container process, or whatever it is supposed to be, killing other msedge.exe instances restart immediately, followed by a toaster notification about whatever Chrome/Edge extension I just killed. I'm not sure what's going on here. Discord or Steam for instances, they spawn their own instances called msedgewebview2.exe, and they're unfazed when I kill the Edge leftovers. I'm not sure what's going on.

At the end, I switched ANGLE to D3D11on12 to get my peace, until randomly resetting it and noticing it was "fixed" (hopefully). --edit Why I was browsing this thread to begin with... Microsoft adopted the round omnibox from Chrome. gently caress that poo poo.

In regard to Chromium browsers, I have a funny feeling that Google will make maintaining the webRequest API a pain in the butt going forward via obnoxious codebase changes or whatever. Otherwise, I'd have figured Microsoft to have announced by now that they'd keep the webRequest API afloat, in a bid to gain marketshare. --edit: Hmm, how far is Brave lagging Chromium engine development? Or is it fairly current? --edit: Brave Rewards this, Crypto Wallet that, Blockchain over here, sponsored backgrounds over there... Well, I guess not.

Nah, Edge just regularly hijacks your rightclicks, when you selected something to then "Search the web for..." because of that annoying "Search with Bing" popover. Also, this dumb browser caused me to buy a new mouse, because it made me think a microswitch was broken, but it actually sporadically opens a link twice in two tabs. I don't have Parkinsons. Yet. And you need to set some flag to hide that loving Bing button that'll open a flyout toolbar whenever you accidentally graze it with your cursor.
