  1. I don't know, and I'm not sure how we would know if the poster didn't reveal that was the case!
  2. I'm not actually seeing that effect. I don't know if that's what Alex is referring to. Good to see that Alex and Win32ss are apparently stealing from each other working together! I had pointed out to Alex that the DigitalSpy forum site displays perfectly natively in Supermium and 360Chrome. There should be a new Thorium XP build soon which hopefully will fix it.
  3. I've reported the DigitalSpy site font and icon problems to the developer on GitHub. We'll see what happens.
  4. Just going back to the Digital Spy forums site again (sorry!) It's a good example of a site with missing icons, too. This is Supermium - and this is Thorium - Likewise at the bottom of the same page. Supermium - Thorium - Quite why Thorium should have such problems with this site, when Supermium doesn't, is a bit of a mystery to me, and certainly proves that the two browsers are not 'clones'!
  5. Thanks, that's good to know, although personally I'm not worried about my browsers being 'Googled'.
  6. FWIW, I have no idea how much Thorium and Supermium can be considered to be 'clones'. As far as I'm concerned if they were clones they would be identical, and that they are not! Although they look so similar they must have both started from the same base, they have different developers working on them, so they have diverged. I'm still very grateful (and still astounded!) that they both work on Windows XP, albeit with some issues, using such a recent Chromium version. A few years ago, I'm sure we all thought that would be absolutely impossible! I'm sticking with Thorium now, although still keeping an eye on where Supermium is going too of course. Thorium has a couple of facilities now that I was really missing after using 360Chrome, natively keeping the browser open when the last tab is closed, without having to use an extension to do it, and double-clicking to close tabs, which I use all the time, and I first got used to back in the days of Presto Opera! The only important (to me) thing still missing is a setting to always open bookmarks in a new tab, which you could also do on 360Chrome. I hate it when you click on a link and it overwrites the current tab. I know you can do it with middle click and the right click menu, but I got used to opening bookmarks automatically in new tabs without having to think about it! There doesn't seem to be an extension which will easily and simply fix that, not that I've found, anyway. I'm very pleased that both the Thorium and Supermium developers seem to now be committed to producing un-Googled versions. For those that want that, I hope they don't have to wait for too long.
  7. That seems to have worked. I tried the script (in OrangeMonkey, which I already have installed for other scripts) but it didn't seem to do anything. Thanks @nicolaasjan for your suggestion too. Let's hope that's finally it!
  8. Sorry @NotHereToPlayGames, I think I was a bit premature saying that the Digital Spy site fonts were all fixed. Although it's all now OK on the main pages, if I go to a forum thread, the header is still the wrong font. I've tried a few experimental changes to the Stylus script, but nothing seems to make any difference. Not a big deal, it's still much better than it was before, but just thought I'd mention it in case there is an easy fix. I'm afraid I don't know very much about this sort of problem.
  9. Right. Oh well, at least the presence of that flag I hope shows an intent by the developer to eventually produce an Un-Googled version of Thorium. Let's hope it becomes a reality soon for those who want it.
  10. I thought at the very least it would have removed the 'You and Google' page in the settings!
  11. Has anyone tried using the chrome://flags/#ungoogled-thorium flag? If so, are there any downsides to it?
  12. Thank you, that has fixed it completely!
  13. Thank you, that seems to have largely fixed the incorrect font on the Digital Spy forum site! It does look as if some of the site is still wrong though, like the 'Sky' header here, which looks as if it's still in the wrong font. All the rest looks now correct. Is that perhaps because it's a larger size?
  14. Just to illustrate, this is what I'm seeing with Supermium, and 360Chrome - And this is what I'm seeing in Thorium - As you can see, the font is completely different. Looks like Time New Roman to me, but might not be from what @NotHereToPlayGames said!
  15. I've had a look just in case it was stopping web fonts from downloading and causing the issue on the Digital Spy forums. That option is switched off though.
