IMPORTANT: See release notes of previous release, which also apply to this one > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium/releases/tag/M105.0.5167.0

Attention Users: I have created a 10 question survey to view user satisfaction and how people are installing Thorium. It was created with surverymonkey, and I checked the boxes to anonymize your answers and to allow multiple responses. I would appreciate it if you guys would complete it (should only take ~2 minutes) It is here > https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TJHX7R7

34th Release - M105.0.5167.0

• M105 Refresh
• New chrome://flags flag to use dark mode. You can also do it with cmdline flag --force-dark-mode
• New chrome//flags flag to disable autoplay. You can also do it with cmdline flag --no-autoplay
• New chrome://flags flag to allow setting a custom NTP. You can also do it with cmdline flag --custom-ntp=http://www.example.com/
• New chrome://flags flag to allow removing the Side Panel button. You can also do it with cmdline flag --hide-sidepanel-button

· Kudos to ungoogled-chromium for the NTP and Side Panel patches, Dark Mode and AutoPlay patches were made by me for Thorium.

IMPORTANT The install directory is now /opt/chromium.org/thorium instead of /opt/chromium.org/thorium-unstable, so you should do a sudo apt purge thorium-browser-unstable, and then install the new one. (.zip and .appimage users don't need to pay attention to this.)

31st Release - M104.0.5083.0

NEWS for Linux Users: Me and @midzer are preparing a new website for Thorium, > https://thorium.rocks/ to replace alex313031@blogspot.com. This website will also be a tentative new place for a debian repo that one could add to their /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for automatic upgrades, similar to the Google Chrome .deb. I was going to set up a PPA on Launchpad, but realized I would be space limited, would not be able to build locally, and would have to make separate releases for every ubuntu/debian version. Plus we just wanted a proper site for branding, promotion, and explanation, so we are working on this as of yesterday.
