M122.0.6261.132 - 6th Release

8 months ago

Nothing too special this release, just your standard Chromium upgrade.

However, five things:

  • Fixed the profile picker crash, which would cause Thorium to just segfault and crash without warning or any useful log output if you tried to add a new profile, OR if you had multiple profiles already added. This is my fault and I was being a dummy last release. Let me explain: Last release notes I said "Enabled AutoPlay toggle in Settings, I previously had it disabled due to a crash". Well I literally left myself a comment line to remind me what the crash was > Alex313031/thorium@5373a94#diff-67eea7cc5329808ed94c726a817ead2b1ac9a0d35a01e6360f553f7e63703572R1116 Yet I just tested to make sure the browser didn't crash on startup (which it wouldn't on my end because I only use one profile). I forgot to check by making a new profile(s). Thus, I declared the bug "fixed" when it really wasn't, and promptly got spammed with a bunch of sad people who's browsers were crashing. This was a stupid mistake on my part, and I'm sorry to anyone whos workflows got interrupted and the frustration that people were having. I will probably leave this setting disabled indefinitely, since I already added a chrome://flags flag to control this behavior anyway > chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy Fixes Alex313031/thorium#577, Alex313031/thorium#564, Alex313031/thorium#596, Alex313031/thorium#586, Alex313031/thorium#570, #45, Alex313031/thorium#575, Alex313031/thorium#572, Alex313031/thorium#599, Alex313031/Thorium-Win#176, Alex313031/Thorium-Win#169, and #42
  • Disabled some more "Privacy Sandbox" bullcrap
  • Added a patch from Ungoogled to disable captive portal detection. Note this won't work in all cases. Fixes Alex313031/thorium#528
  • This release is actually ahead of the version in official stable Chrome right now (.128 minor rev), as I spotted a nice security fix in V8 that was not landed until the .132 minor revision.
  • Thorium now installs the "dev" build of UBlock Origin (to better block YouTube ads)
