@cazh0 Hmm, very strange. I can run it on my hackintosh with a 4th gen chip.
Can you tell me the exact model of the CPU?
UPDATE I found out why.
Technically, the last MacOS version yours can run is 10.15. I compile Thorium for MacOS with AVX2, since all Macs made after 2013 support this. Unfortunately, while you have (I'm assuming), used some hacky ways to get a newer MacOS running on this machine, the CPU is a 3rd gen Chip, one generation short of being able to run AVX2 programs. I might drop the MacOS releases down to AVX to support older machines, but I can't promise. For now there is nothing you can do, it wont run without AVX2.

Got it, thanks for clearing my confusion because I was losing my mind 😂

That also explains most of the problems in the other thread about it not running on some Mac versions (most use Open Core Legacy Patcher to continue using recent versions of MacOs on older computers).
However, I have a question, the versions you are compiling then have no problems with the new versions of Macs with M processors?, as far as I understand being ARM based processors they don't have AVX/AVX2 instructions in the first place as they are not x86/x64 and use instead their own instruction set.
I'm glad I'm not the only one using an OpenCore Legacy Mac. MacBook Pro (mid 2012)

i am in need of this build out of my refusal to conform with the ridiculous and likely-vacuous/superficial argument that an OS update is required for a newer browser.
would appreciate if you kick the builds down to avx and keep updating this in line with your main thorium build.
thanks
Same issue here.. would love to try an AVX version. Any thoughts if this will be done?
@cazh0 is this issue still relevant?
It probably is but who cares my dudes I got firefox working on 10.14 and hopefully all the way to 10.9!!Source is still being exported from hg to git but hopefully it'll all be up in a couple days. A version is up for testing and Ofc I welcome all input and comments!!Chrome sucks compared to firefox!! Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Rogers network.

It is, but it's most likely not a priority, as Alex said.
Big fan of all the Thorium releases. I first discovered it when I needed something to breathe new life in my Windows 7 machine and Thorium worked wonders. Like others on this thread, I have several old Macs (iMac 2009 and MacBook Pro 2012) are kept relevant thanks to OCLP, but none of them are AVX2 compatible. Would really appreciate if there was an AVX and SSE4 build. I'm hoping it will be a game changer on old Macs that same way it was for Win7.
You guys are aware of monsieur bléu box, aka @blueboxd's chromium-legacy build right?https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacyNo avx acceleration but hey it works for sse macs. hope i can get this firefox to go down to 10.9. their design choice of avx acceleration being detected at runtime is superior. Firefox is just flat out superior. Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Rogers network.

Problem Even though the architecture is x64, the app fails to launch and crashes instantly when opening it. Other several Chromium forks (Tempest) work just fine.
