Supermium 124.0.6367.245

Based on various tests, any issues that may have been caused by the move from 122 to 124 have been resolved. However, various feature additions that were planned for 124 were not finalized at this time. As a result, various customization features previously planned will be introduced in a later release of Supermium 124.

Nonetheless, other issues have are resolved in this version:
(#593, #600, #602) - ungoogled-supermium is revised to diverge somewhat from ungoogled-chromium core patches, in that access to the Chrome Web Store is no longer impeded, while continuing to block all Google connections involuntarily initiated by the browser.
(#643) - blockage of large highly-compressed images removed due to causing incidental issues in Google Street View.
(#667) - CVE-2024-5274 addressed.
(#539) - Optimizations updated to remove CFG function calls.
HTML5 notifications now work in Windows 7 after workaround for a bug in the OS is restored (see 2152f4e in the v124/m124 branch).
(#598) - update to M124 enables some newer extensions to work.

Supermium 122.0.6261.152 (R6) - SECURITY PATCH

Another high-risk V8 vulnerability was disclosed (CVE-2024-4947). For that reason, another release of Supermium 122 has been made. Provided there are no further high-risk vulnerabilities, the next Supermium release will be in mid-June.

-(#569) - Supermium installer now has commands for silent mode, Use -y --silent combined with a variety of flags to invoke. --system-level installs Supermium to Program Files while another path can be specified using "--path=%PATH%" (there is no "default path" so one of these two flags must be present).
