This package has been revised to use the variant corresponding to architecture set in some config files. This may cause problems with other packages, so users choosing to do this are (mostly) on their own.

  • makepkg.conf — CARCH="x86_64_v3" (or v2)
  • pacman.conf — Architecture = auto x86_64 x86_64_v2 x86_64_v3
  • /usr/share/devtools/setarch-aliases.d/x86_64_v3 — Contents: x86_64

The default variant is SSE3. This version is the closest available to baseline x86_64, which is currently the only architecture supported by Arch Linux. Other variants have shown no significant performance benefit, while crashing on some users' computers. The default will not be changed unless upstream offerings change or there is no other way to prevent a significant bug. Please refrain from arguing to change default for any other reason.

Alternate PKGBUILDs are available (i386, sse3, sse4, avx, avx2). They may be used by running makepkg -Cp <file>. This is the recommended way to build alternate versions to avoid interfering with other packages.

@ugjdgdto Please remove the links.

Users who are uncomfortable with the image can simply not view it.

@Everyone Please do not post anymore comments that have nothing to do with packaging. Fake controversy belongs elsewhere.

The link just shows some "interesting" artwork. There's nothing wrong with it. Even for people who don't care for it, there are worse things on the interwebs to accidentally stumble onto.

Do not visit chrome://theme/IDR_PRODUCT_YIFF in this browser...

Worst mistake of my life.

@direc85 I haven't seen that problem. Have you tried running in a terminal to see if any useful messages are displayed when it occurs?

My computer hard locks whenever I close Thorium browser. Anyone else with the same issue? Manjaro KDE here on 11th gen Intel with integrated graphics here.

I've added processor checks to the post-install and launcher scripts. If the processor does not support x86-64-v3, a warning message will be shown. If the processor supports x86-64-v2, aur/thorium-browser-sse3-bin will be recommended.

thanks @xiota the sse3 thorium-browser-special-bin fix the issue for me

Users with older computers requiring the SSE3 version may use aur/thorium-browser-sse3-bin. The alternate package aur/thorium-browser-special-bin is being retired.

The _sse3 and _sse4 environment variables are no longer used by this package. There is no need to rebuild until the next release.
