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

As I stated in an earlier post I went looking and the only Wiki thingy I could find was this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cent_...r_logo.svg

But folks have to make a living and are busy and it is not easy to get such things like a Wkipedia page project done and then keep it updated and all manner of necessary tasks.

Now I seem to remember I have an account at Wikipedia for being able to write and edit and I am not sure what else, and it has been a long time; but it isn't so hard to create an account there. (Well, I don't think it was. Not so sure about now.)

But I sure couldn't do this myself. I'm in my 70s for starters, so can be careless at times, I'm in a third round of chemotherapy and I have to take so much medicine and maybe could rotate off life's active at just about anytime.

So I figure I'd need help.

Something about this browser pleases me and I think that advert idea, as I think I wrote about in that other post, is a good way to help out. And the other community member who first made a note about a Wikipedia page is right, [ https://www.centbrowser.net/en/showthrea...2#pid15442 ] it is a necessity before the next step of going to some of those hotshot big wheels in this tech world and asking for some advert space.

Might there be anyone interested in helping out?

Since Chromium v100 flag "#incognito-brand-consistency-for-desktop" was removed, so it is impossible to apply 3rd party theme to incognito mode - it is always dark. Can you please do something about it?

The best would be to have option "disable dark theme in incognito mode", so incognito looks the same as normal (including color of context menus).

Chromium engine has the flag "Enable download bubble" which adds to the browser UI a download button, exactly the same your option "Show download button" does. Why don't you remove your built-in download button and let the option handle the flag?

我是从360极速浏览器X迁移过来的，前者有一个很好的功能，能快速将网页添加到收藏夹中，尤其是收藏夹的文件夹很多的时候，靠地址栏右侧的星星很难快速添加（因为会有很多其他文件夹占位，不能一次性全部显示）

这个功能只需要点击一次鼠标，点击星星，按住不松开，移动鼠标到文件夹上方，自动展开文件夹，移动鼠标到“添加到本文件夹”上方，松开鼠标，添加完成，自动收起收藏夹。一气呵成非常流畅，建议可以自己试一下。



与此同时，前者的“网页回收站”（最近关闭的标签页）菜单的显示动画非常的快，同样也是只要鼠标点一次。而Cent Browser的这个按钮，鼠标点上去按住之后要等半秒钟才能加载出来，动画渐入渐出速度也太慢了，希望能加快一下！跟360极速浏览器X一样就可以了

我录了一个演示视频，可以比较一下鼠标移动距离，明显360极速X的菜单响应更快，在CentBrowser上面我鼠标都移出去一大截了才慢吞吞浮现出来，从用户体验和UI设计上讲，这个操作的回馈应该学习改进一下。
