• Thorium Version: MacOS Releases - M114.0.5735.134 arm64

Problem
After updating to the latest release, Thorium M114.0.5735.134, I found that it doesn't run on my M1 Mac. Double-clicking the icon results in no response. As a workaround, I had to revert back to M113, which works normally.

Hi folks! Just trying to use KeePass with Thorium with no luck, I always get:

I've tested on chrome and chromium and it works as expected. I've also removed all the keys in keepass (because maybe there were conflicts or something) but no luck, it doesn't work.

OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G9323)
Thorium: 110.0.5481.178 (Official Build) (x86_64)

H265 videos work in Thorium, but not in Google Chrome - good.
But this video works in Chrome, but not in Thorium: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10161

Why? Bug?

System Details

• OS: Android 11
• Thorium Version 112.0.5615.166

Problem
When there is a Google account already exist in the device, clicking turn on sync, it should display that account and directly next step, however, there is no account displayed on that page. And I tried to remove the account from the device, and tried to login via throium, the account logged in the device, but still not appeared in throium.

Add any other context about the problem here.

Hello thank you for the Apple builds first off! :)

Do you think it is possible to add Biometric Authentication to Thorium?
As far as I can see Chromium should have this already or am I missing something here?

Authn works really well in Safari with the Fingerprint sensor and I also have Bitwarden inside Thorium use the Fingerprint reader already fine.

What is needed for this?

thanks!

edit:
this is available currently:

I like to have my workspace clean and coherent. I'm also a customization nerd, so it happens that I redesign and customize icons that don't like or that I feel could be better on my OS (macOS). Long story short, I designed this icon for Thorium, which is currently my default browser. If anybody likes it, or if you'd like to use it in any possible way, feel free to. I make stuff like this just for fun, but if you like it I'd be glad to give a little contribution to this project.

I'll just leave here the 1024x1024 PNG and the ICNS file for Mac.

Hello I barely have half a brain cell when it comes to non-mainstream browsers. Last time I updated my thorium by replacing my existing thorium by installing the latest version one and replacing the existing, which causes me to lose settings and extensions, so I was wondering what would be the best way to update?

@mzinner New raspi build! > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Special/releases/tag/M105.0.5174.0

【Feat Request】

Recently I downloaded Thorium and I really liked it!

Previously I was using Microsoft Edge but now it’s too big and redundant for me. For Google Chrome, there’s no “Clear browsing history after quit” option, and I really need it…

Is it possible to add “Clear browsing history after quit” option in settings? Much thanks!

Hello,

Would it be possible for you to produce a Windows build for ARM64, maybe targeting ARMv8-A/Cortex-A76 with NEON extensions enable?

I would like to have extension support when using Thorium on my Android.

Said patches can be found at: https://github.com/dvalter/chromium_extension_patches . I would love to use Thorium but I want to use extensions on my phone.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A lot of CPUs nowdays support x86-64_v3.

Describe the solution you'd like, including relevant patches or source
It would be great if you released builds based on it too.

Hey, thank you very much for this great and useful project.
The question is : Are the patches like :

• All Codecs (h264, h265, flac, xvid, AV1, etc..)
• Hardware Acceleration Video Decode
• Widevine
• PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport
• ThinLTO, PGO
• X/Wayland (vaapi)
• etc

which are included in builds like macchrome ones , included in Thorium builds or is it possible to include them at all ?

It's not signed by an Apple cert but aside from that, it worked great on an M1 Mac

Even if Screen Recording is granted via System Preferences.

Hello i have installed this package thorium-browser-105.0.5174.0_arm64.deb

For stupid reasons I need to keep my old 2007 iMac running. Unfortunately there isn't a modern, secure browser available. Every one I've tried including Thorium complain they're not compatible with Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6 which is the most modern MacOS that runs on this old lady.

Currently I'm running old unsupported Safari and Firefox. Old Chrome based browsers won't even load.

Any hope for Thorium to become retro?

I've just installed this latest build for arm64 mac

M103.0.5020.0

Spotted a slight UI bug on the google search page

I tried to find the code where this page is implemented, but couldn't. Otherwise I would have opened a PR :-)

Also just an idea, it may be easier and more maintainable to have like 1 page for all search engines. Like firefox does

Analysis

Avast & AVG = Win32: Malware-gen
F.Secure = Trojan.TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen2
Trapmine = Malicious.high.ml.score

There has been an issue with Google Sheets and rarely some other websites where the page crashes with Error 11.
I've tested Office 365 and the other Google office web applications and they work fine. Test was done in both incognito mode without cookies/cache and my normal browsing profile.

Google sheets:

Tested on:
109.0.5414.120 ARM64 - macOS M1 Pro

On Windows 10 it works fine.

I'd be happy to assist in any way I can.
Also, thank you for your amazing work!

Hey,

just another idea. I've seen you released an ARM64 build. Awesome! 👍

Is ARM32 possible, too? I've seen many older mobile devices still use this.

Hi,

I'm probably being an absolute dolt but I have an issue with Thorium_MacOS_106.0.5212.0_ARM64 and Google Sheets. The Sheets page with all my sheets opens just fine, but when I try to get to any one of my files, I get an error:

Before this page, the sheet contents show up for a brief sec before the error page shows up. I have tried various things (logout/in, restart, clearing cookies, etc.) to no avail. No issues with Google Docs, or Slides, etc. just Sheets.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Anthony

Problem
Cannot get widevine drm working.

Additional Notes
I tested using Bitmovin and the Spotify web playback SDK. I'm trying to get Thorium working with widevine on other arm64 boards (OrangePi, Radxa). I tested Thorium also on RPI 4 64bit where it seems to be non-functional as well, in the native chromium app for RPI 4 64bit the widevine is functional.

Hi! Thank you for the hard work and creating M1 builds for chromium, it is very appreciated. I was hoping to build the latest version of chromium (although there has been a new release since I started trying to build myself), but I can't get past the gn args generation step:

I'm painfully unfamiliar with gn and pretty much everything surrounding the build process, so wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

When I go to "chrome://extensions/" after updating to a new version of Thorium, the extensions that carry over don't show up. Am I doing something wrong with the update process? I'm on Mac M1 Version 106.0.5212.0 (Official Build) (arm64)

Is this a Thorium's bug or Bitwarden limits this function as Thorium is a custom build?

Hi Thorium-Team,

thanks so much for working Thorium, it is the perfect Chromium-based browser! I am in the process of replacing all my Brave and Chromium installations on all systems with Thorium. Therefor the following request.

Would it be possible to add regular Linux ARM64 Desktop Builds to this repo?

This would allow me to run it on all my Raspberry Pi OS ARM64 as well as my VMs on my Apple M1 machines.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi, first of all thanks for your work, could you update the linux build? Also, can I build this in github actions? Thanks in advice!

Hello, i discover that Mr @Alex313031 not only develop Thorium brower and Thorium os but also develop several other awesome projects, it's awesome and thank you so much!

Sorry I don't know where to post my request, there was a famous software, several sites and users praised it like the ghacks site, this software is a powerful donwloader with a lot of magnificent unique options based on yr-dlp aevc a specific download accelerator more faster than ariac2c....but this open source project mysteriously disappears in April and the last version of April disables the software so we had to stay with the penultimate version....

fortunately some people have saved a copy of this software but its development has unfortunately stopped and no one seems to have restarted the project, I wonder if Mr. Alex can resume the project by forking it especially since it's based on yt-dlp and the software is very mature and complete and why not change the name of the downloader to Thorium Downloader manager since this project is abandoned and you are doing a favor by trying to relaunch the project .....

I looked for an alternative and I found the magnificent "Media-Downloader" on github but it pains me to see that this firedm project has been abandoned and we hope that it will be relaunched on windows and linux......thanks a lot !

Problem
Sometimes YouTube video just won't play and the message 'Audio rendering error. Restart the computer.' appears inside at the center of the black video frame. Til now I always solved by just restarting Thorium, but it's a major inconvenience.

Hi :)

Browser works great, but is there a way to change from the original red tab font colour? :D

Edit: Widevine seems to be not working.

Hi,

Quick question:

I'm on 110.0.5481.178 (Official Build) (arm64)

I see that there is a coloured "bar" next to the Add Tab to New Group option.

Is this new? I don't see it in Chrome. Can it be disabled?

Thanks,
Anthony

From Chrome 93 or 9x (I can't remember) Google applied new tab grid layout for Chrome Android, and fully disabled the old, page-like tab layout. But I really love the old layout, so could you bring the old tab layout back in the next Android build?

in the latest M110.0.5481.179-2 thromium displays a blank window and immediately closes without any error message.
OS: Windows 8.1 x64

I have a Windows 7 system with a CPU that supports SSE4.2 and AVX. However, when I try to launch Thorium 109 AVX builds, it immediately crashes.
Therefore, I am requesting a special Windows SSE4.2 build (this build works for me)of Thorium 109 that will work for Windows 7 users, including myself.
I understand that this may be an edge case, but I believe this is the only more version needed for Windows 7 users.
I apologize for any inconvenience caused, and I would not have made this request if I had the necessary resources to build it myself.
Thank you.

Hi.

I tried M104.0.5079.0 today, and it seems that google's delicate sensibilities were offended by it, as it wouldn't sync--even with my own API keys. I downgraded to 103.0.5037.0, everything was right as rain.

Thanks for maintaining this, by the way. It's my "daily driver" on all three supported platforms.

Hey,
Are there any plans releasing a new version of this browser?
The MacOS builds have some issues with certain websites and Google Sheets and are a few months old.

Hello, i see with great pleasure that Thorium make android version ! tahnk you very much !

we hope Thorium android support extensions like open source kiwi browser or iceraven browser, and even support extensions from miceosoft edge browser because sometimes we need to download youtube videos, video extensions in chrome store are not allaowed to download from youtube however in edge store, we can do it via videodonwload helper extension , and may be Thorium an droidn can even install extensions from firefox addons store because they use the same web extension api.....

thank you very much :)

Hi Thorium team,

nn my work macbook (Monterey with Intel CPU) the google sync feature is deactivated in official Chrome. Installing the Chromium.woolyss.com Chrome v95 sync was possible, but there are no updates to it.

I then installed the Thorium special Release M102, it runs but sync is not available. Am I doing something wrong? Leftovers from the other Chromium? Is it ok to still have Chromium installed (don't need to)?

When I run Thorium, stop it and open Chromium again I am completely logged out of my Google account in Chromium.

Thanks for your help
Felix

Hello, I told you the AVX1 Win edition of Thorium is not working with Live Caption three months ago.

and I had tried SSE3 and SSE4 Win editions in the releases of this reposition, but the Live Caption is also not working.

I haven't Linux, is the Linux edition of Thorium working perfectly with Live Caption?

Just a quick one: is it possible to disable that 'All bokmarks' that I found at the right end of my bookmarks bar after the latest update? In my screenshot you'll see 'Tutti i preferiti' since my UI is in Italian, but that's the button.

Unable to implement Google account sign in and sync.

Hi Thorium-Team,

I just got time to test the Windows on ARM64 build. I am trying to run it on a Windows 11 ARM64 Parallels VM on my MacBook Pro. While the Thorium window comes up as expected, no web pages are displayed, same for chrome://settings/

Instead the following can be read.

Aw, Fuck!
Something went wrong while displaying this webpage.
Error code: STATUS_BREAKPOINT

I tried to capture a log file but that does not show any specific errors it seems.
.\thorium.exe --enable-logging=stderr --v=1 > log.txt 2>&1

The Crashpad/reports directory in the user data dir also has a lot of reports. I will link one here.

• Screenshot
• Log File
• Dump File

Please let me know how I can provide more useful info to get this working.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for this awesome work to compile Thorium to so many platforms. I'm trying to use thorium with Playwright in headless mode for testing and receiving an error. I know that Playwright is not your business but maybe you have a hint how to make it work?
