CentBrowser Forum

Hi. I'm looking for something to replace Yandex browser and Cent was the most appropriate among other choices. But there are certain problems and some functions are severely lacking.

Problems:
1) When opening a new empty tab, an empty background appears for a short time. The tab seems to be loading. Very annoying. The larger the background image, the longer this loading.
2) The buttons are not located in the center of the panel (shifted to the left-up) and are not stretched to the bottom. The tab button has a different shape, different location, different angles and goes to the bottom panel.


Suggestions:
1) There is no scrolling by pressing the middle button. On another forum, they wrote to me that this function is called "Autoscrolling", but it is turned on (and does not turn off at all), and scrolling does not work. Bug?
2) Yandex has an almost perfect implementation of the new tab. It is embedded in the button and does not create a separate tab. Do not want to do the same?

Previously, the button was designed as in Cent and square when hovering. It looked great.
3) In the screenshot above. Displaying title in the line also looks great, and the button with the domain leads to the main page of the site.
4) There is a "bookmark icons only" function, but there is no "text only without icons" function.
5) The list of exports from other browsers is too small. Opera, for example, can easily export everything from Yandex, up to cookies.

English is not my native language, I hope I clearly explained everything.

Thanks for your detailed suggestions.
Problems)
1. This is an old issue, but the browser has nothing to display before the web page background is loaded. You may try changing the default background color in chrome://settings/cbBrowsing
2. This is intended. Because the tab list button is not belong to the same group of the maximize/minimize/close button which are system buttons.
Suggestions)
1. After pressing the middle button, you need to move the mouse. And ensure the option "Use autoscrolling" in chrome://settings/cbBrowsing is enabled and "Paste on middle click" is disabled.
2. We will look into this feature.
3. May be a good feature, but the tab already displays title.
4. If no icons, it is hard to distinguish between folder and URL.
5. Yes, this is a flaw that we need to improve. For now you can export bookmarks as HTML in other browsers.

Problem-1. In Yandex, for example, the new tab also has high-resolution backgrounds, there are even animated ones, but there is no loading. Is it really impossible to solve this?
Problem-2. But the main problem is not the left button, but the fact that they are all crookedly arranged... Here's a comparison:


Suggestion-1. and "Paste on middle click" is disabled - That was the reason, thank you. But why do they exclude each other? Insertion only works in the input fields. You can't exclude enabling autoscrolling mode in the input fields?
3. But it is rare for a title to fit completely on a tab. And there are pinned tabs. There may also be too many tabs and they will become even smaller. And this implementation is in any case more pleasant than just a URL.
4. In the screenshot in the previous post folders are also visible. Small arrow on the right. Quite a beautiful implementation.
