CentBrowser is built with a lot of new features added. However, not all features are "really useful" and widely used.
Therefore, I hope that, in addition to the 2 default Installer and Portable versions, there will be a "Minimized" version as follows:
  1. Remove "Mouse Gesture" feature.
  2. Remove "Super Drag" feature.
  3. Remove "Fast Save Image" feature.
  4. Remove "Custom CSS" feature.
  5. Remove "Hotkeys" (not Shortcuts) feature.
  6. Retains default Browsing, Bookmarks and Tab Options behavior like Google Chrome (very useful if you want to migrate from Google Chrome to CentBrowser).
Having too many features and changing default behaviors can be useful, but it's generally quite "overwhelming" and difficult to approach for users who are new to or don't need those features (since they're also enabled by default).

Why? so that it doesn't differ from regular chromium? take the same ungoogled or supermium or thorium (which you wrote about) why do you need a cent?

so you are literally asking to disable all the features that make centbrowser so powerful (reason why users love this browser and keep using it...even outdated)  Undecided Undecided Undecided Undecided Undecided Undecided 
sorry, but this can't be a good idea.

from the eyes of new user : what would be the point of downloading and installing a heavily tweaked browser if he doesn't care about the features it adds by default ?

  1. "no mouse gestures" → Did you ever tried to use it ? I'm using it since MyIE2, more than 20 years ago (which applied as a overlayer of...Internet Explorer !), it's a killer feature. Except if you're on a laptop. Every single person I showed how to use it, can't live without it now ! And if you don't know what mouse gesture is, you will never make mouse gesture  Tongue
  2. "no super drag" → if you don't even know this feature, you won't drag anything with your mouse...
  3. "no fast save image" → you must use ALT to activate it...if you push ALT and click on an image, then you know what you do.
  4. "Custom CSS" feature" → until you copy some custom CSS (which means you perfectly KNOW what you are doing), this feature won't change anything for you !
  5. "Hotkeys" → if you don't know the hotkeys, it would really be bad luck to activate one. And as the configuration panel is crystal clear, you can see (and learn) all the hotkeys...or disable it in one toggle
  6. "Retains default Browsing, Bookmarks and Tab Options behavior like Google Chrome" → you must be kidding for this one, really. Chrome is the worst, specifically on these features (a TAB browser that don't open a new tab BY DEFAULT, seriously ?)

Like QZMTCH already said in a different manner, what is the point in asking for a configuration that annihilates whats makes centbrowser's DNA so unique ? It's like buying a premium model of a car then ask to disable all the premium features...Just use Chrome/Chromium then.

Centbrowser is a game changer by ADDING features, and from my point of view, I never saw a chrome user lost by all these new features...I only saw happy people asking me why they did not change their browser way before.

ps : the "crystal clear" configuration panel even have a search engine. With some keywords, you can find anything you want to toggle off in a second
