Your smartphone and laptop battery life could endanger your privacy

Think your private browsing session is really private? A new paper shows how your smartphone or laptop's battery can be used to compromise your privacy.
A HTML5 feature called the Battery Status API lets websites check the status of your device's battery with such precision that it could be used to track you in short time intervals, researchers claim. And that's even if you're using identity-concealing software such as Tor.

This happens because the Battery Status API can pull several pieces of information about your device's battery — level, charging time and discharging time. Combined, this data is nearly unique for each device, meaning it allows potential attackers to create a digital fingerprint of your device and track your activities on the web.

"In short time intervals, Battery Status API can be used to reinstantiate tracking identifiers of users, similar to evercookies.Moreover, battery information can be used in cases where a user can go to great lengths to clear her evercookies. In a corporate setting, where devices share similar characteristics and IP addresses, the battery information can be used to distinguish devices behind a NAT, of traditional tracking mechanisms do not work," the paper claims.

The paper, signed by French and Belgian security researchers Lukasz Olejnik, Gunes Acar, Claude Castelluccia, and Claudia Diaz, and first reported on by The Guardian, claims that, as of June 2015, Firefox, Opera and Chrome support the HTML5 feature.

This sort of tracking would be very hard to escape, since practically all devices are vulnerable. The risk is, however, higher for old or used batteries with reduced capacities.

According to the paper, the potential privacy issues of the Battery Status API have been discussed as early as 2012, but the API was not revised to alleviate them.
The issue is extremely easy to fix, researchers argue: Just make the battery readings less precise. By rounding the values down, none of the functionality would be lost, but it would be nearly impossible to track a user down.

Hi,


I'd like to have "Do not show again" checkbox in the popup that appears when i open more than 15 bookmarks togheter.

可不可以想办法让绿色版默认浏览器打开外部链接也使用CentBrowser？

发现鼠标滚轮切换标签有一个问题，重现方法如下：

1、同时打开足够多的标签，使标签栏一屏放不完全部标签。
2、从最后一个标签往右切换，会切到回第一个标签，但是第一个标签这时是不会自动左对齐的。
3、与第二步相反，从第一个标签往左切到最后一个标签，此时标签是不会自动右对齐的。

以上同样步骤，用键盘CTRL+PAGE UP/DOWN切换，标签是可以自动对齐的。

虽然不影响使用，但希望能改进一下。

I am looking for a fix for this. When I start a netflix movie I get this error message: 

We cannot find all the required components to play Netflix on this device. Please visit chrome://components, locate the WidevineCdm component, and click the "Check for update" button. For additional assistance resolving this issue.

When I go to chrome://components, WidevineCdm is not listed, it is not isted in chrome://plugins either.. I can get it to work with internet explorer and google chrome and other browsers.

官网最新64位便携版
win10  64位

还需要的信息请提出

使用的是最新版本的64-bit portable（1.3.7.16），当将CentBrowser设为默认浏览器后，在其它程序打开超链接时，无法调用CentBrowser，点击超链接后没有任何反应。

我的系统是Win10 64位正式版，请检查一下，我也不知道是不是个例。

Centbrowser has a lot of tab options, but tab opening option not so much.
I want to click left key on a link to open a new tab in the background, but I can't find a option.
I suggest adding some opening options like this:

最新64位便携版，已经在系统内通过默认程序设置为默认浏览器，但是点击一些程序关于菜单上的链接地址，CentBroswer 不能接管，表现为没有任何反应，或者很久后弹出一个系统出错框，内容为链接地址+“xxx服务没有准备好”。

换回  SlimJet 同样64位便携版或者Firefox便携版，只要设置为系统默认浏览器，都能正常接管这种外部链接。

比如这些这种链接：

The triangle button is used to show tab list menu when too many tabs overflow tab bar.
It is a sub-setting of another option "Minimum tab width" which is aimed at preventing tabs becoming too narrow.


If you turn off the "Minimum tab width" option, the tab bar of cent browser will become the same as google chrome.
Of course you can just turn off the "Show indicator button for invisible tabs" option to hide the triangle buttons.You can use mouse wheel to scroll tab bar in the case.

The avatar button is for showing google account login menu.
In previous versions, you can hide this button by a flag "disable-new-avatar-menu".From Chromium 44 this flag has gone.
But you still can hide the button by adding command line "--disable-new-avatar-menu" to the browser's shortcut.
Unfortunately it is heard that the command line is also removed from Chromium 45.

If that is true, we will add an option to allow our users to disable the avatar button.
