The Best Web Browser

I've been on the hunt for a new browser for YEARS! Finally, I found my new home for a web browser that performs better than the rest!

- This is not DE-GOOGLED. It still has the sign-in.
- Addressing old version concerns with M119 release in 01/2024
- Wildvine is installed by default so all codecs and videos play without additional installs.

The same dev also has a compiler optimized version of Firefox called Mercury. Got 10% higher performance on Speedometer 2.0 compared to vanilla Firefox.

I've been browser hopping for a couple of months now, and some of the features I found were unnecessary to me. For the ones that are, I can just use extensions, so nice video Chris! 👍

Hey Chris, Thorium looks great so thanks for sharing this with all of us! Aren't you concerned about updates, however, since Chromium (engine) gets regular updates but the browser itself can take a bit of time to update (based on the latest Github builds the last update was 2 weeks ago)? I guess it wouldn't matter too much on just regular engine updates but what about pressing security flaws that need fixing?

I love how this guy is crazy enough to compile Thorium OS as well, a Chrome OS to his own browser. Once he figures out the in-place OTA updates it will be a crazy competitor to Chrome OS Flex for sure.

Brave did a great job with debloating google but they did a horrible job adding their own bloat, I'm happy to see this lmao

Thanks for shining a light on this Dev's work, we all love a clean fast experience whilst browsing, I do love Brave, shock horror, but will use this for a month to fully appreciate its speed and privacy, as I've said previously....Thanks to the Dev and yourself for highlighting this guy's attention to detail... I've a feeling I'll be using this over Brave, non commercial.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on your channel. Never felt like I was browsing slowly but this is a good one. Keep up to good work man

[tristanwaititlegendary]

i wonder how proud the dev is to have his browser featured on a youtube video

[CellTechAdv]

Is it odd that I'm fairly new to this channel, but been an LTT "fan" for years yet Chris is the only techie I actually trust?... his debloat and debug scripts are phenomenal, his info is always straight and to the point, and I have a way better experience in my own daily computing following his instructions and recommendations than any other tech channel...

just did the speedometer after installing thorium: safari: 258 (+-40); chrome 319 (+-13); thorium _365_ (+-14) ... Thank you Chris for pointing me towards Thorium!

You have helped me discover my favorite browser! I just installed it on my retro Win 8.1 and modern Linux Mint XFCE builds.

If we're being honest, Windows 7 is probably still less bloated with telemetry stuff than Windows 10.

Hello Chris. I must say that you are really contributing to the tech community. Can you kindly do an in depth video tutorial on Windows Registry Edit, how to appropriately use and tweak around it. Thank you beforehand.

[El.Duder-ino]

Thx a lot for highlighting this project, pretty cool! I hope there's not some kind of shady security stuff going on in the background after using it and that sensitive data isn't collected by the project leaders.

I installed it and sync'nd with my google account but some of the extensions and the tabs didn't sync, any idea why or how I can do a full copy of Brave Browser extensions and tabs?.

[greggmacdonald]

Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention, it's appreciated. A couple other notable features: Ublock Origin pre-installed. Can run in Portable mode. Wierdly, it runs the same speed as Chrome does for me (1% better), but I do have Ublock Origin installed there too. Note that the Windows AVX2 version is supposed to be the fastest version, though I saw just a 1% benefit to doing so over the regular Windows version.

He has Android builds and not just that he has builds for System webview as well for both arm32 and 64. He's even making browser for Windows XP.
This guy is a literal wizard

How do you get tech support on this browser? When I go to "about thorium" and click "get help with thorium" it takes me to the Google chrome help page, not thorium. The problem is with the bookmark bar. I want to disable it but every time I do and then click the homepage button or exit the browser and come back the bookmark bar is showing again, 3v3n though the toggle in settings shows off. Bit of a glitch. And I wish the bookmark bar could be set to vertical instead of horizontal. There's more screen real estate horizontally.

So, how do I get extensions? I would like to add manually some of them since a few disappeared but still work on chrome or brave.
