Thorium-Special VS thorium

The current release and this git repo is Win AVX-only: https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases but there are regular SSE binaries as well as other OS: https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Special/releases

You can find it here : https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Special/releases/tag/M109.0.5361.0

Looks like your CPU doesnt support AVX. Although it is a skylake cpu, sometimes the celeron and pentium series for a given generation will forgoe some instruction set extensions to shrink die space and make it cheaper. So for you, you can use my SSE3 only release here > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Special/releases/tag/M105.0.5172.0 The sse3 releases for linux and windows get updated less frequently, but otherwise are made to the same standard as other releases, and still contain optimizations that make it faster vs other chromium browsers for a given platform. If you’re curious, i did a l write up here on the site about the optimizations > https://thorium.rocks/optimizations

It’s hard for me to define « fast » for a browser. Does it mean it loads internet pages and content fast? If so, I’d say all browsers I tried are the same, it depends more on your broadband speed and the other apps using it. What I can say is that Safari isn’t the lightest browser. I’m using Thorium Special, a fork of Chromium that’s been compiled and optimized for Apple silicon chips. Even with extensions, it uses around 30% less memory according to the task monitor. It’s just my personal experience.

I'm dissuaded from using Thorium after the news of the developer including... questionable material in their builds[0], and checked into CVS no less.

Yeah, man. Honestly it's kind of a sexy picture that yiff png^0. I ain't into furry shit and I think it's weird, but that's a pretty sexy pose right there for people of a certain orientation.

I mean, weird to include it in a GitHub repo, but not evil. The fact that some NPCs are falling over themselves to call this evil (while probably repressed-guilt-projectively retreating to their private stashus of furry-et-al pon when the sun rises) suggests there's "rotten" in the state of browser forking, methinks! hahahahaha :)

Too much misinformation, christ. After checking another thread, it appears the browser contains a softcore furry image, and the alleged CP is the anti-circumcision propaganda images the guy hosts on his public github.io page.

Furry easter egg removal commit is here:

And these are the alleged edits on the github.io page:

> the site for thorium at one point had a documentary about circumcision on it, alongside furry porn and other weird political stuff, when he was called out on it, it magically disappeared.

Thorium!
