Maybe a new update can be made for centbrowser on these.

If there are, for example, 500 users on this forum who have a problem with the old version of the browser, there are at least 100,000 users worldwide for whom the browser still works as expected and well enough for all their web needs. 
Posts like "I change Cent" or "you force me to change Cent" are also NOT effective. In fact, the developer can always examine the statistics on the number of people using the browser and compare it to the previous month, week, or year. Further proof that Cent seems to have a stable audience that doesn't mind things staying as they are now.

Why does the Cent team, at least for now, not want to accept donations for browser development?
= The ANSWER = There may be different reasons, but two are constant:
-1- Independence.
Even with donations, this type of funding binds the developer to some extent, as they assume responsibility towards the donating users.
-2- Donations are too unpredictable and cannot be relied upon consistently. Sometimes there are donations, sometimes there are not. Hiring external individuals to work on the browser carries its own risks. Additionally, financing must be already secured for a long period of time.

When a team of 5-10 people takes care of a browser, and only in their spare time, since they are busy with other things in their daily lives, it is normal for updates to occur every 1-2 years. If these people worked on Cent every day, all day, then updates would be more frequent, possibly several per year.

What we should expect in the FUTURE? 
= The ANSWER = 1-2 updates within a span of 1 to 3 years. I haven't seen any change in this trend despite the pressure being exerted. This includes even the previous stable version.

What will happen when Cent is updated?
= The ANSWER =  after 3 months, it will become outdated again, and after 6 months, it will be too old. And the cycle will repeat and Cent will only receive 1-2 updates every 1-3 years.

I believe we can be more helpful to this browser by changing our approach and at least stopping the application of pressure. This is extremely unpleasant. Do you feel good when your employer, boss, friend, or relative starts exerting systematic and regular pressure on you?

- For those who are impatient and seeking a solution to the problem -
Most of Cent's functionality can actually be achieved through an extensions using another browser that is actively maintained by tens or hundreds of people every day, all day. In this way, in the most ideal scenario, you will have access to 90-95% of what Cent offers, along with regular monthly updates. Yes, it won't be Cent, but you will get almost everything you want and, most importantly, always have an up-to-date kernel. If you don't like this solution either, then you should look for the problem within yourself because there is a solution, but the problem you won't want to accept is yours and not someone else's.
