Sorry. I meant to put that comment in the supermium thread.

Yup. Disabling the ungoogled supermium mode in flags AND deleting the --ungoogled-supermium switch makes GM and YT work again. In the previous version, they worked even with ungoogled supermium mode in flags.

GM and YT work in vanilla profile, albeit with all the adds and scripts I don't like. In my usual profile (with tweaks, switches and flags with which they used to work) they don't work anymore (with ungoogled switches or not). In GM, the problem is non-functioning buttons next and such, which prevents login. In YT, empty portal, no search bar. The compact-ui switch now cuts tabs heigh in half, but without adjuting fonts, so the titles are also (vertically) cut in half. With my tweaked settings, I managed to get rid of google.com altogether from the list of search engines. Still, I can only use bing or yahoo. I would like to know how to add and make default searches of my choice. On the bright side, chrome processes close on exiting supermium. PS: a previous version of this post just dissappeared.

Wrong thread

Using BOTH process tamer 2.14 (which comes in the portable zip of the app), together with process lasso (set supermium "always" priority class to below normal) works in my set up to tame processor usage peaks, making supermium quite stable, actually (compared to using either app separately or, needless to say, none of them).

True that - but I prefer sp52 to pm. My rule is: for work related websites (unless unnecessarily scripted) sp2, for social mypal68. For sites that don't work in those two, supermium, or else tablet or linux mint laptop.

In Argentina, ATMs (POS terminals?) seem to be running XP -judging by the occasional error screens. They surely pay for security updates. I have set up well trimmed, secured XP terminals in some governmental offices in Argentina (and some other places of the world, too) and know they are still running. I'm sure they do not pay for security updates, nor do they need to do so (like we all know).

Well, on topic, process tamer 2.14 (which I now see comes in the portable zip of the link I first gave) works in my set up and helps me tame processor usage peaks in the latest version of mypal. I also use process lasso, which I find better suited for memory management, as its "always" priority class process settings sometimes freezes browsing apps (in my set up), while process tamer doesn't. That occasional freezing may not occur in mypal (I will try it - it's always good to have alternatives)

For me the portable version (the zip file) works well.

Looking at https://portableapps.com/node/67329, the 1.8.15 telegram version by John T. Haller now works in XP, at least the basic messaging functions. Haven't tried voice chat...

The latest version of LMMS (https://lmms.io/download, extract and seems portable, not sure if stealth) runs well in my set up (that includes VirtualMIDISynth 2.9.3.0). DITTO with openmtp retro (https://openmpt.org/download_file.php?file=OpenMPT-1.31.06.00-RETRO-portable-x86.zip).

The taming of mypal.exe (force low) using process tamer' configuration (https://www.donationcoder.com/software/mouser/popular-apps/process-tamer -I have somehow version 2.14.01, the site reports 2.11.01, go figure) allows me to run now more than 5-10 pages without crashing tabs or browser -note that . See my conf in attached image. Cheers! PS: I think I reported this for sp52 some years ago.

I was wondering why I was not having issues with supermium topping cpu. I think one of the reasons, beyond my comments in my testing-notes before, may be the taming of chrome.exe (force low) using process tamer' configuration (https://www.donationcoder.com/software/mouser/popular-apps/process-tamer -I have somehow version 2.14.01, the site reports 2.11.01, go figure). I guess that may explain it, because I decided to add mypal68 (I had sp52 and chrome there already), and it allows me to run now more than 5-10 pages without crashing tabs or browser. Cheers!

The (similar) fix in basilisk 52 doesn't affect Tx Clock.

My guess is the change discussed in this link and previous disucssion: https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5/?do=findComment&comment=1263997
