M120.0.6099.273 - 4th Release
M120
- More optimization flags as per guidance from @RobRich999 here > RobRich999/Chromium_Clang#26 (comment)
- Blocked annoying obtrusive promos like "Show me how to change the background"
- Added a new right-click menu item to "Save video frame" which you can use to save a .png of the current paused frame.
- Added three new chrome://flags flags. These are:
chrome://flags/#vaapi-video-decode-linux-gl
to toggle using the GL backend for VAAPI acceleration (Linux only). Fixes Alex313031/thorium#162chrome://flags/#close-window-with-last-tab
which allows you to keep the application open when closing the last tab (i.e. closing the last tab will simply open a new blank one). Fixes Alex313031/thorium#338chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-downloads
to fix the annoying issue where Thorium won't download files if they come from http:// ftp:// or "mixed origins" i.e. an http:// download initiated by an https:// page. Fixes Alex313031/thorium#509- @midzer Is now generating and using our own custom PGO profiles in Thorium instead of upstream, after manual testing by him with Chromium showing a good performance uplift
- Minor bug where on chrome://settings/help it shows an update warning. This is strange as Chromium has no auto updater. It is not of concern and doesn't affect usability.
