I am using an old version of Google Canary. However, for the past two days, the browser has been flickering dark at random intervals... It looks like an eye blink... This causes the browser to shut down after some time.
The main reason I use the old version is: I cannot access some websites without a VPN. But in the old version I use, I can access every website without a VPN.
"I don't know why; but that's how it is."
But the problem I have had for the past two days has made the browser unusable.
So I downloaded some Chromium Builds.
Similarly, in some of these builds, I can access websites that require a VPN (for example: expressvpn.com | 4shared.com) without a VPN.
But I can't play some video content. For instance, the videos on the "https://vimeo.com/" website don't open.
When I did some research, I learned that Chromium doesn't support some audio/video codecs.
Unfortunately, Google Canary doesn't have a library where we can download older versions.
Or if it does, I am not aware of it. (A reliable library from Google; like Chromium.)
Because of this, I can't download and try any newer versions of Google Canary after the one I am currently using.
And at this point, I wonder how I can add all the audio codecs to Chromium, which has all versions available for download.
I did some research and saw that they all involve coding operations.
I just believe it shouldn't be this hard.
I am a regular user; so I need the simplest way.
All the instructions in the research process are too superficial for normal users who don't know how to code and who are not developing for Chromium.
In other words, the instructions are not step-by-step for normal users; they are presented as leaps and we don't know what to do between leaps.
Some websites have added codecs for certain versions; but unfortunately the Git accounts of the people who added them don't have enough history... For this and some other additional reasons, they are not trustworthy.
For example, I saw that it compiled a version with codecs for version "114.0.5735.91 (1135570)".
However, I could not decide whether it is reliable or not; which even if I decide I don't know if this version contains what I need.
That's why I'm wondering; Can I use the source files at "GITHUB" in all versions of Chromium?
If the answer is yes; what steps should i follow? Or is there a simple new method other than that?
Or do you have a recommendation for a guide that explains everything from A to Z as if we were normal users? Or does Google have a library where we can download older versions of Canary?
Finally; why do some versions allow us to open websites that need a VPN without a VPN?
PS: I want you to know with all my heart that I appreciate any information in advance.
And... If this question is not suitable for the main theme of the platform, please indicate.
