感觉默认按钮很难看啊

Hello.

I've been a long-time user of Firefox, since before it was even called by that name. The most recent and upcoming changes to the browser are making me look further afield for a decent alternative. The most obvious ones are Vivaldi and Opera of course (because their development has always been well publicized), but I recently saw someone mention the heretofore unknown CentBrowser in a blog comment and couldn't help but follow that up.

Now I'm here! After a few hours of intensive testing, I have come to believe that CentBrowser may be better than all the other Chromium based alternatives. It has by far a superior tab-bar implementation and offers a host of features that would require extensions in many other browsers, if they were possible at all.

Still, as good as I think things are right now, there can always be improvements here or there. This is my feedback:

1.) Default installation location. I saw this mentioned here but wanted to reiterate the issue, because the reply from you was not sufficient, I feel. Whenever I start an executable setup, the Windows UAC tells me that an application wants to make changes to my system, which is fine and works exactly as intended. I can then click yes and continue to install the application in my default path of 'C:\Program Files\' or 'C:\Program Files (x86)\' without further issues. Yet this does not happen with the CentBrowser setup, which doesn't request elevated permissions and tries to tell me something in a badly machine translated text I don't understand entirely the meaning of 'Installer können dieses Verzeichnis zugreifen können, wählen Sie bitte einen anderen'. I assume this is about these permissions, because a normal Windows user doesn't have write access in most system folders on the C: drive without requesting an elevation via the UAC system or disabling it. That issue could be circumvented by running the setup as an Administrator, but before I try that, I would like to know how that would impact the future update checks from within the browser. Would it work anyway, or would I need to run the update client manually as an Administrator each time? In any case, I'd love to see installer and updater that take care of getting the required permissions themselves because it's the expected behavior on Windows.

1.1.) When checking for an update, the UI of the update window is rather sparse, only a multiline textbox with some information and an 'Abort' button. Is there something more to the update than checking for CentBrowser and Flash plugin updates or is it only an UI issue that the 'Abort' button remains unchanged after the check is done?

2.) How portable is the portable version of CentBrowser, why does the link to the portable version on the main page lead to an outdated version when there are different links on the History page and is there a difference between using that one or copying the installation directory and adding a file called 'CBPortable'? I've read in some places on the PortableApps.net forums, that Chromium browsers are notoriously difficult to make portable installations out of and that even those are only makeshift solutions.

2.1.) Speaking about that, is it possible to integrate CentBrowser portable into the PortableApps launcher? Since you have added an upgrade feature that works without the Google update service, even an unofficial build would be fine for the launcher.

3.) Setting key bindings. In any Chromium-based browser I have used so far, it's not possible to set custom shortcuts that contain the Tab-key. Prior to my learning about CentBrowser, I had been dabbling in a Chromium browser where I opened the 'Preferences' file in a text editor, searched through the JSON code for the shortcut I wanted to modify and then replaced the existing shortcut combination (ie 'Alt+Z') with 'Ctrl+Tab'. It would be splendid if this wasn't needed any more and could be set from within the browser.

3.1.) I've tried doing the same for a custom function you've built into your browser, namely 'Switch to last visited tab', which is 'Alt+Z' by default and I've found a setting in the 'Local State' file. So far so good, but when I choose a key combination that would replace a Chrome default function (like Alt+Tab for switching between tabs), it doesn't work. Apparently the priority order for shortcuts if a combination is set more than once is 1-extensions, 2-Chrome and 3-CentBrowser accelerators. Until this changes, I will need to use an extension like 'CLUT: Cycle Last Used Tabs', but if given the choice I'd always like to use your built-in version with the standard shortcut for this type of action. Maybe you could even add a setting like this to your already existing Tab options?

4.) Extension API parity to other browsers. I saw some other feature requests like this one and thought to myself that this would be grand, but it would be painful to have a sidebar and not be able to use any of the extensions that have appeared. In the past, WebExtensions have meant that any extension would run in any WebKit/Blink browser that supports extensions, but recent developments by other teams are going to fracture the once unified extension market. It all started with Opera and their sidebar API I believe, but Firefox is adding and planning to add further APIs too. I'd love to one day be able to use all WebExtensions, whether they were designed for Chrome, Opera or Firefox and unite them in only one browser. It will probably forever remain wishful thinking, but a guy can dream

5.) Re-open closed tab by using middle-click on (free space of) the tab-bar. It appears this feature is bugged if a browser-theme is used that also changes the tab-bar background. I'm using the browser on Windows 7 and whenever a theme is active that has replaced the default background design (the aero blur) a middle-click has no effect, unless it is made on top of the '+' button to open a new empty tab.

6.) Open downloaded files automatically by file-type. I can't get this to work like it does in other browsers. In your replacement file-download-dialogue I see an Save&Open button, but there's no setting to always open this file type from now on. Even playing around with the Download settings, the only reference to this feature I have found is the button 'clear auto-opening settings'. Did you remove this feature from CentBrowser or did I miss it in my search?


After taking this first look at the browser, I can confidently say that I love some features and it's a serious contender to become my new default browser. Some features, above all else your excellent tab-bar, make this a viable alternative to the Firefox browser (with the Tab Mix Plus extension) I've been using so far. Thanks for creating this piece of software, it's been a while since I was last excited about a Chromium fork and probably the first time I'm seriously planning to switch my default browser.

Hello everybody

I need an old browserversion 1.5.13.33.
This is the last browser with plugin support.
I need the Windows Media Firefox plugin 1.0.0.8.
All newer browsers open me no Webradio and so on.

I can not download the 64bit portable version,
Because it is no longer on the server.  

Is it possible that I can download this version soon?
... or where can I download the old versions?
Thanks for an answer. 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grrrr.... I have a Idea.
Would it be possible to install the plugin in a new browser version? 
That would be great, when everything would work again.

Hi,
I just noticed that the bookmark folder, where i save my bookmarks currently, is missing. My older bookmarks are there, but that folder where is my newest bookmarks from 2015 to 2017 is missing. How can i get it back? There was Bookmark.bak in the Cent Browser folder. It was from yesterday and when i tried that, that folder is still missing :/
I dont know what happend to it. I am sure that i havent deleted it and i did used it yesterday when i did add couple bookmarks there.

版本2.3.5.32,在设置里已经设置了"禁止网站运行flash",但是flash仍然可以播放,之前的版本是正常的

   

首先 感谢开发者的更新以及问题回应(上次的回应我还没应 不好意思)
我很喜欢这个浏览器 (也不想再换浏览器了.......)
因此... 最近是不是有木马在针对这个浏览器攻击呢?
一直以来都正常 但最近几天"好像"有特定几个网页 
不好意思 我分页开很多 只能说分页大量 前一两个礼拜正常
最近几天 就很常被攻击 换了几个同样有GOOGLE核心的浏览器 连同原版
同样大量的分页 同样GOOGLE核心 完全没事 唯独cent browser有狀況
特来回报求助是不是只有我一个人有这问题....

追加状况补充
貌似只有2.3.5.32版是这样
降版本后就没有状况了

tab重度用户无法适应新界面
个人习惯将长浏览的网站留着,每次50个tab启动,没升级到2.3.5.32前,每个tab标题都能看清楚,现在标题全变成了方砖,太惨了

早上浏览器自动更新了Cent Browser 2.3.5.32，发现顶栏上的扩展图标变成了MD风格。

以前也遇到过，后来看这个帖子修改回来了
https://www.centbrowser.com/forum/showth...p?tid=1140

现在又变成这样，但是怎么修改都还是MD风格，想问一下是怎么回事？

   

在本论坛发帖时正文编辑器出现以下问题:

1.拼音输入法打出拼音如果没有点空格键上屏，时间超过2秒拼音就消失了；

2.长时间没有打字，打第一个字母突然消失；

3.输入拼音不管多长，按一次删除键【Back Space】就全部删除。

以上问题都是在发帖时出现，本人使用搜狗输入法。

与浏览器无关，因为在使用其他浏览器时也出现了上述问题。

与插件、扩展无关，因为在浏览其他网站【贴吧】输入无任何问题。

与输入法无关，换了手心输入法问题仍然出现。

回帖无问题，发帖、完整编辑模式问题就来了

希望能够得到解决。

Windows 的默认文件排序规则是:

数字→英文→中文

以前chrome也是根据这个规则来给书签排序的，而不知从什么版本开始排序规则变成了:

数字→中文→英文

有没有大神可以解释一下。
