Updated to build 4412. The first update caused the update to fail causing boot loop. Restored it via MR Image and did the update which worked fine. There are minor spikes in performance.
Updated to Windows 10 build 5011 and Windows 11 23H2 build 4317.
Updated to Windows 11 23H2 build 4602 on newer laptop and old windows 10 has been updated to 22H2 build 5247.
Updated to build 19044.5487
Trying out new browser on desktop, I hate the switch from firefox. Librewolf and floorp very buggy and clunky. Brave and Chromium feels stuttery on Linux and windows 11.

Except it lags way behind other major Chromium variants and Firefox, which poses security risks for uses other than general web surfing.
Thanks. Ran into an issue when I was logging into google and youtube it kept kicking me out and went with Chromium latest builds. Will be updating my custom ISOs with chromium build mini installers.
I have issue with Bookmark tags coming from firefox on my linux machine. It has 15+ years of tagged bookmarks. At first, I lost all of them. I had a copy of bookmarks json and html. Once bookmark tagging extension that works with chrome that has firefox like management I can drop Firefox. Seeing better battery life of 4hrs even on my 13 yr laptop instead of 2 hrs.
