I'm already seeing pages load differently (better). I used to get weird lines of html for a second or so before the page loaded (especially at any BBC.com page)  (Y)

 

Context menu still misbehaves though. It's obvious that isn't the context menu I should be getting.

Oh, I have the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2.0 with the proper drivers installed (came through Windows Update).

 

Which addons you have, might be some using chrome.contextmenu api wrongly, which could be triggering it. Try disabling them.

 

These are the latest drivers: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/wireless-keyboard-3000v2.0

DirectWrite rendering enabled in Chrome UI now:

Enable DirectWrite for font metrics and font rendering in Chrome UI on Windows by default.

We have a switch --disable-directwrite-for-ui to switch back to GDI.

I had Chrome v40 installed but there are major issues with CKEditor v4.x which we use in our CMS meaning I had to downgrade to the stable channel. It is a javascript related bug, so I can't use it right now :(

Nice thing that if addon or extension extends their permission, Chromium disable them automatically, I don't know whether its new or not but great call.

this landed a while ago, the win32k lockdown flag, interesting read for the security interested people: https://codereview.chromium.org/669623005/

 

Enables or disables the Win32K process mitigation policy for renderer processes which prevents them from invoking user32 and gdi32 system calls which enter the kernel. This is only supported on Windows 8 and beyond. ?

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

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
