CentBrowser Forum

Hi,
I was encountering a small but annoying bug.



After providing all the settings, a strange bug occurred when the name or location of the CentBrowser folder was changed.

Every time I started CentBrowser, it was asking for an IDM download request from this URL.

See video for workaround.
1- Select Built-in for default downloader and wait a short while then close and open browser.
2- Now again select Internet Download Manager for the default downloader and wait a short while then close and reopen the browser. That's all

This is a feature used to optimize loading of some popular websites.
To bypass this issue, you can either add googleapis.com to the exception list of IDM, or append the following command line to "Other settings"->"Startup command line":
--disable-features=OptimizationGuideModelDownloading,OptimizationHintsFetching,OptimizationTargetPrediction,OptimizationHints
