This is to prevent web crawlers. It blocks access requests for paths, leaving only requests for program file addresses.

I understand you've implemented blocking for web crawlers on https://static.centbrowser.com/ to prevent automated access. However, this blanket blocking approach is affecting legitimate use cases.

Many users, including myself, rely on monitoring tools like changedetection.io, changemon, and politepol to track new releases and updates of your software. These are legitimate monitoring services that help users stay informed about your product updates, not malicious crawlers.

I would like to suggest implementing a whitelist for common, legitimate monitoring user agents such as:

changedetection.io

changemon

politepol

Other similar release monitoring services

This way, you can maintain protection against unwanted crawlers while still allowing users who want to monitor your releases to do so through these established services. Blocking everything prevents your users from conveniently tracking when you publish new versions.

Could you please consider adding these monitoring tools to a whitelist? This would be a better solution than blocking all automated access entirely.

Thank you for your consideration.

Feature Request: Auto-Save for Driven Sessions with Increased Tabs

I submitted about three feature requests last year (a massive tab counter, simultaneous use of Cent's tab list and Chrome's tab search, and reorganization of settings items), but a higher-priority situation arose.

That is the tab-saving feature (Session Manager) for the currently open tabs.
You might say there are plenty of extensions for that.

But realistically usable ones are rapidly decreasing.
Therefore, I want an automatic tab session saving feature built into the browser.

For example, Session Buddy, which was widely used by Chrome users until recently, started losing its save functionality around last year and can no longer be relied upon.
Many other extensions are similarly affected.
Whether this is due to Chrome restrictions or simply extension bugs is unclear, but either way, they are unreliable.
However, it's worth noting that this issue isn't limited to just one extension.

Currently, the only extension that works properly is Tab Session Manager, ported over from Firefox.

Of course, Chrome has a restore feature when it crashes, and with Cent, recently used tabs might be saved per window.

However, this only offers the modest hope that it might be there after a crash. It only works immediately after a crash and doesn't let users manipulate their own tab sessions.

If Cent had an integrated auto-save feature for tab sessions, it would differentiate it from Chrome, become a key advantage, and be a major reason to use Cent.

Since this got long, I'll split it.

As I stated in the title I wanted,
it's a tab session feature that auto-saves at the moment new tabs are added (the moment tabs are removed—meaning tabs deleted—doesn't need to be saved; auto-saving when tabs are opened is what matters).

In Chrome, all extensions with auto-save features for entire sessions save at fixed intervals (like every 5 minutes).

Therefore, to differentiate and gain an advantage, the ideal auto-save timing is when tabs are added.


Please consider adding this as an additional feature. I kindly request it.

Firefox has add-ons that automatically save data when tabs are added or removed. I hope you will use this as a reference.https://addons.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/ad...sion-boss/
