My Haswell board went the way of the DoDo bird and died, so I wasn't able to continue AVX2 releases, but luckily, we have @gz83 to the rescue. He is the newest builder/contributer to Thorium and I welcome him to the two (now three) person team.

Compatibility mode bug is STILL present on win10/win11 systems. If you are just upgrading, not doing a fresh install, you shouldn't have to do anything.

Also, try out my simple scrollbar theme for Thorium, Thorium Scrollbars. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium_ScrollBars If you are not familiar with how to manually install a chrome extension see https://stackoverflow.com/a/11879334/19023992
The thorium_compat_mode.bat is a little batch file I made to automate the setting of compatibility mode on windows 10/11 to mitigate the bug where it will say "Error code: RESULT_CODE_MISSING_DATA". You will have to right click and select "run as administrator" because it sets compatibility mode for all users, which means it writes to the HKLM registry hive which is restricted to admins.
- IMPORTANT: The User profile dir is now changed and set from
C:\Users$USERNAME\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data >> C:\Users$USERNAME\AppData\Local\Thorium\User Data
To migrate, make sure the Thorium user data dir is empty, and then just copy the entire contents of the Chromium one into it.
I.E. If you havent run Thorium yet, just copy the whole User Data folder. If you've run it and then freak out because all your user profile data is gone, then delete the contents of the Thorium folder and copy the contents of the Chromium one into the Thorium one.
This was done to be in line with the Thorium branding, as well as to allow side by side installations of Chromium and Thorium (including differing versions). This was already done on the Linux version for some time now, but I just now figured out where in source code you can change the install location/user data location on windows. Sorry if this disturbs your workflow.
Mac releases will also have this change soon.
