And there's a fix for the cutoff on 64-bit Chromium, excellent. The only issue I have with 64-bit Chromium builds now is the constant Flash crashes. Does anyone know if there's a 64-bit Pepper Flash plugin (dll file + manifest) available for download yet? I was thinking 64-bit Canary would have one but since they pulled the 64-bit builds, I can't find it yet. =\

I've noticed for the last few days that the custom order of extension icons next to the address bar doesn't always remember correctly, depending on the extensions used. I use the following three extensions;

 

 
No matter how I try to arrange them, when I close the browser the order changes/resets on next start. Will have to search the issues list when I get the time.

Order doesn't change for me, just starts as if I had them all hidden and have to drag the omnibox over to show them, not deal breaker considering it's the Dev version

Complete DirectWrite support might ship with M37 or 38, the guys are still hard at work on it.

Yeah I've been holding off using it for now since its still got a few sizable issues, mainly monospace fonts are rendered poorly (bug 356823), and it doesn't handle font weights correctly for some fonts (such as segoe ui), waiting patiently for improvements :) chrome's font rendering has been a pet peeve of mine for a while now (along with lack of smooth scrolling).

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
