I noticed the empty space on my system drive disappearing and discovered a folder that isn't cleared when I clear the cache.
USER\AppData\Local\CentBrowser\User Data\component_crx_cache
deleting all files from this directory does not lead to any fatal consequences
There's no similar folder in Google Chrome. The folder's size
USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
isn't growing uncontrollably. I add folder component_crx_cache to CCleaner.
Please, add the folder to Disk Cleanup in browser, is it possible.
P.S. Most likely, the folder size increased dramatically after experimenting with subtitles.

Quote:The component_crx_cache folder in Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Chrome) stores cached extension and component files, often causing large file size issues, failed profile syncs, and HTTP 413 errors in virtualized environments. It is safe to delete, though it will likely regenerate. Excluding %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\component_crx_cache from syncing resolves these issues.

I just downloaded the latest portable 5.2.1168.83 to my Windows 10 PC.  Installed Ublock Origin + several other of my favorite extensions.  Created a few bookmarks.  Copied it to USB thumb drive, copied it to my Windows 7 laptop, all extensions and bookmarks all present.

No other Chrome browser does this, even those that claim to be portable (the browsers are portable but extensions have to be re-installed on every machine and bookmarks don't get copied so not really portable).  This is the main reason I prefer Mozilla over Chromium for portable browsers.

Keep up the good work and please maintain support for Manifest v2 so Ublock Origin, best adblocker available continues to function.
All other Chromium browser are Manifest v3 so no Ublock Origin, only crippled Ublock lite.

Hi,
Please how to change folders icon color in bookmark manager, I want to restore its original color (yellow, yellow orange), as the color now is make confusing with some bookmarks, so changing color will be easily distinguishable.

Thanks

Hi, your browser is very efficient, however, the multi-logging issue makes tab management quite difficult. Is there a way to name tabs instead of using just colored dots?

I always use incognito mode, but after updating to v5.2.1168.83, I discovered that the "Browser" task (apparently) wasn't garbage collecting, leading to a very rapid increase in the memory footprint. When the memory footprint exceeded 200,000K+, every time I opened a new tab (both the new tab and the webpage), it would lag for a few seconds, and CPU usage would increase by 100+.

   

Even after I tried killing all tabs, the memory footprint of the "Browser" task continued to grow (though it slowed down), and the CPU usage remained consistently between 1 and 10+.

   

I've identified several (possible) causes:

1. Blob storage isn't garbage collected:

When checking chrome://blob-internals/, I found many blobs listed there, some with very large lengths (see attached image below). With the increasing memory footprint of the "Browser" task, more blobs are being created here.

   

Because it's incognito mode, the "Delete browsing data" feature is completely useless. Even when opening a regular tab and checking chrome://blob-internals/, I see many other blobs there, even though I'm not browsing with a regular tab.

2. Affected by other Chromium-based browsers:

After opening CentBrowser, every time I open other Chromium-based browsers or Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) Client Applications, the memory footprint of the "Browser" task increases rapidly, by about 30,000K each time if the current "Browser" task's memory footprint is below 200,000K, and gradually decreases if it's already above 200,000K. It seems there's a cross-memory leak here?!

I checked the chrome.exe file of the x86 (32-bit) CentBrowser version using the "dumpbin" command and found that the "LARGEADDRESSAWARE" flag was enabled. However:

- When opening a heavy website (like Facebook), which uses only about 1.5 GB of memory, it immediately crashes with an "Error code: Out of Memory" error.

- When the CPU usage of the Dev Tools tab is high (~100%), after a few seconds, it crashes as shown in the attached image below.

As can be seen, it encountered an error very early on, even though it was still far from the limit of a typical 32-bit process. The "LARGEADDRESSAWARE" flag therefore did not function.

Different sites crashes and this error pops up - Aw, Snap! Something went wrong displaying this webpage. Error code: Out of Memory
It happens on random sites, but most often and regularly on Telegram web version (web.telegram.org).
Only happens in Cent, tried standard Chrome and Brave browsers and everything ok.
I googled fix and tried to turn of acceleration, turn off Memory Saver in setting - these dont help.

To change the icon:
Right-click the icon and go to Properties
There will be a "Change icon..." button
In the window that appears, select one of the two new icons and apply the changes

These icons were created on my own initiative
The main goals were to create something new and bring it to black and white style (Maybe someone will like this as much as I do)

Приветствую!
Суть проблемы: на странице быстрого доступа (домашняя страница) у большинства иконок сайтов сами иконки слишком маленькие. Вызывает эстетический диссонанс. Как исправить кто подскажет?

Thanks for your work.
