Windows can only be compiled with SSE4.2 or SSE3, instead of regular SSE4 like the linux version. I would prefer these to be SSE4, but there are some people with Core 2 Duo or AMD Bobcat CPUs that wanted to use the SSE4 version since their CPU didn't support AVX, only to find out that their CPU only supported "regular" SSE4, not SSE4.2. This is a workaround, by just using regular old SSE3. You will give up some performance, but the other compiler flags still apply, so it will still be more performant than a regular chromium build.

  • M105 Refresh
  • New installer patches which close installer or thorium.exe if it is running before installing.
  • New chrome://flags flag to use dark mode. You can also do it with cmdline flag --force-dark-mode
  • New chrome//flags flag to disable autoplay. You can also do it with cmdline flag --no-autoplay
  • New chrome://flags flag to allow setting a custom NTP. You can also do it with cmdline flag --custom-ntp=http://www.example.com/
  • New chrome://flags flag to allow removing the Side Panel button. You can also do it with cmdline flag --hide-sidepanel-button

· Kudos to ungoogled-chromium for the NTP and Side Panel patches, Dark Mode and AutoPlay patches were made by me for Thorium.

Attention Users: I have created a 10 question survey to view user satisfaction and how people are installing Thorium. It was created with surverymonkey, and I checked the boxes to anonymize your answers and to allow multiple responses. I would appreciate it if you guys would complete it (should only take ~2 minutes) It is here > https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TJHX7R7
