Hello Centbrowser team,

Hope you're doing well.

I'd like to expose a new problem with Centbrowser. Since some days, I had really strange behavior with ads, particulary on twitter and mgnet.com. In fact, I noticed this some days ago, when ublock origins was updated on april 18. My guess is that some changes are (sadly) only compatibles with an updated Chromium core OR maybe centbrowser have problems with these changes.

my setup : 

• Centbrowser x64 5.0.1002.295 (installed) + ublock origin 1.49.0 + antiadblock killer 10.0 + all good filters (the ones coming natively with the extension + antiadblock killer one)
  
• catsxp + exactly the same setup
  

• CB → ads are not filtered. one ad every three messages   (people using this without adblockers are crazy, seriously !)
  
• catsxp → no problem, all ads are filtered
  

• CB → a lot of scam, aggressive ads, etc.
  
• catsxp → no problem !
  

I installed some stuff for Youtube, I'd like to remove them
Could anyone tell me, please, where is the location for this ?
Thank you

Firstly, I was a bit surprised that I couldn't find a dedicated sub-forum for bugs and such devoted to just this platform, BUT I have probably not looked in the right place and would appreciate being corrected.

Secondly, I was looking for a forum/sub-forum related to discussion platform problems (possible problems) because I just had an odd experience using an IE browser I had used before and my regular password. I'm using a different browser as of this post and so I am wondering if there have been any recent configuration changes on/to this platform that may be causing some odd difficulty related to anyone trying to use an IE11 browser? When I switched to this browser I am using now there was no trouble.

An admin can likely look at the server log and see the error when I tried to use IE11 and then see the logging in with this browser. At least, I am able to do that on a phpBB site when accessing my server logs. I don't remember if my admin control panel provides that information. The password error message was just moments before this logging in that worked fine with this browser. And, yes, I am purposely not identifying this browser to the public in case we have a security issue here. Or at my end, which I'll check at my end soon after finishing this browser session.

Thank you for any response.

Please Help Me How to use this extension in Cent Browser - Please tell me about Settings for use this extension in Cent Browser.

i Have 1000+ Cent Profile Setup. i can,t use another browser .

На сайтах где ролик с youtuba выдаёт Сайт accounts.google.com не позволяет установить соединение вместо видео

Netflix was just working fine until obviously they changed something that Cent Browser doesn't like so the page displays that error.
I updated the browser but still I can only login and I can't watch the movies.
I tried another browser which uses Chromium at it work OK.
Of course I searched for the error code but I found nothing on internet while Netflix help scripts are even more useless.
Does anyone have a clue on what could be the problem?

In Settings, I have sync turned on, says it's synching to my Google email. What does that mean, and how does it do that? Synching to where? Other browsers sync to the same browser on other devices, but Cent has no Android version. If something happens to my Cent and I have to reload it, do I have to start from scratch? Thanks in advance.

So I've gotten really sick of having issues with using an old browser, so I tried to update to the latest, and unfortunately ran into even worse issues that make me want to just deal with the problems I currently have in 3.0.4.

I would greatly appreciate if anyone can chime in with knowledge about how to resolve these issues.

First off, the entire way the browser looks changed.  Theme was the same (reverted to default in v5), but it doesn't matter since all that changed was color.  Here's a comparison of old vs new:

       

There is so much useless garbage added and I don't see a way to remove all of it in options.  I instinctively tried to find a way to edit toolbars like in Firefox, but it seems like Chrome still does not have such a feature.  This is, by far, the most obnoxious change, especially the addition of the < > buttons for tab switching, as I keep clicking them instead of the + to open a new tab, which is WAY over to the right now.  In options there is a disable < > buttons, and 'avatar' (account) and sidebar, but I don't see options for the rest, nor a way to reduce the gigantic blank space.


The space this takes up is enormous and annoying, especially with the new tab design:

       
There's 3 less tabs visible, and the old tabs still took up slightly more space.  The old tabs also still have the visuals of being a tab instead of cut off with a | into no visual element. Overall, there's so much less workable space and it's visually worse.

Why did they change this?  It's similar to what Firefox does:

   

The 'new tab' page changed for the worse:

Gone are thumbnails for the sites, now it's just theme clashing (bright white) Android-like icons of the favicon.





There's also that search menu I don't know how to edit.  It doesn't respect the browser's search engine settings.


There's useless "QR Code" options in menus I can't find a way to disable, right in their own section too (+1 divider):



Everything changed to rounded corners instead of square (windows 11 garbage).

The font rendering is different (worse), despite disable-direct-write (and for-ui) still being enabled:




The font looks blurrier with more aberration.  The exact reason I ceased using other browsers and refused to update Cent due to the font rendering changes.

Comparing these images I see now the "trapezoid" tabs are gone, no wonder they look so much worse, with less visual identifiers between them.



Does anyone know of solutions to mitigate all of these listed issues?


There's probably a multitude of other issues I haven't seen yet from my quick overview, but I don't even want to continue testing it anymore.  I'll be seeing, once again, if an older version of Cent is more usable, but as there's been major bugs with directwrite in past versions, there may not be a suitable version with the old UI system.

If only Firefox didn't become obnoxious too, I would switch back after all these years..

---

Now to switch gears:  What is the point of Cent Browser, exactly?  The design philosophy and all that.

If it's just mirroring Chromium's changes but with some minor additions and the disable directwrite flag still there, I don't really see the point to developing it.  I'm not sure how many features I actually use that are Cent specific (last used Chrome in v51), but the DirectWrite thing is 100% the reason I switched.  But with builds like https://github.com/GTANAdam/GDIChromium, the need for this was largely gone.  If Vivaldi had a GDI-enabled build, that would have been my browser of choice years ago; there's significant customization, FAR more than Cent, but the font is awful, like all directwrite fonts, so I only use it as a "site not working in old cent" browser.

It would be nice if I was an adaptable human, as they're often depicted in science fiction media (notably games), but I'm not.  I can't stand change even a tiny bit, and it aggravates me to no end.  There's changes Microsoft made to Windows in Vista that still negatively impact my daily usage experience in 10 (nevermind the constant UI changes every major update ruining even more 25 year old workflows).   Companies just refuse to keep things the same, never consider going back or giving anyone an option, and people like me suffer the consequences without end.

I have 100s of tabs open but I want to update the portable version, can I do this and still keep my tabs ? How do I do that if so ? Just click "check for update" or do I download the new version and put it in the directory ? Thanks.

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.
(https://optimizationguide-pa.googleapis...._DETECTION)

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
