Request: let's have another Cent browser lite version

[Budi]

As seeing more and more have been complaining on Cent browser slow start up, ie. takes long start time, I'd request to have Cent browser lite version which would include only very important features and gists, and drop all the frills for sake of quick startup and efficient initialization time.
Thanks before and after.

Thanks for your suggestion.
What features do you want in lite version?

I think the question should have been asked as: "Which of the existing features do you want us to remove?"
A regular version, when its features are reduced, becomes a " lite version".

Once we have enough time, we may release a lite version with only mouse gesture.

Hi "jack",

I read the posts on the page you gave its link above; I agree with your wish there as: "I hope CB will not become the second SlimJet version."

And I want to make an addition to yours: I hope Cent will not become a dying browser like 7 Star and UC. But I am very optimistic about this.

In my opinion, the most important feature of a web browser is that the configuration performed in this browser (personal settings and installed extensions) must be fully transferable to the browser on a different operating system, using a folder named as "User Data" (or "Profile").

* This configuration transfer can be done completely in Firefox and its variants for a long time;

* However, it is currently only available in Cent Browser, which is one of the Chromium-based browsers. When such configuration transfer is carried out, all Chromium-based browsers outside of Cent display the following lie and misleading notification:

  "Chrome detected that some of your settings were corrupted by another program and reset them to their original defaults. Leam more"

  (This transfer can also be done on Opera, except for the following two glitches: if the default option is changed, the search engine will automatically change to "Google", and the start page will automatically change to "Startup with Last Session")

In the past, this transfer was also available for Chromium-based browsers called "7Star", "UC" and "Slimjet", but not anymore:

- 7Star, it was very good quality; I think that since the developers have not had enough economic living conditions, they can not create a new version after Chromium version 62. And 7Star's official site does not support a language other than Chinese; moreover, this site does not work properly either.

- UC Browser was good too; but, as a member of the Alibaba Group, it did not get rid of being the official spyware of this group. Last year a Chromium 55-based version was released, but its forum has been closed long before that.

- Slimjet turned into a bloatware with a very low level of security. Although it seems to be alive, but it is right now about to die...

As a last word: we should criticize Cent Browser to help it get better quality; but focusing on security and speed concepts only, we should not want the Cent Browser features to be reduced too much, so we should not let it turn into a bone-dry and useless browser.

Greetings,

NOTE: Compared to older versions, Cent Browser opens a bit late at first, and response times to commands have also increased.

This is interesting and a bit puzzling.
The reason I moved onto Cent Browser (apart from the GUI being customizable to my liking) was because of Firefox taking ages to start.
I tried many other browsers but Cent for me is the quckest at starting up.
I haven't a very fast processor so it's not that.
I have only 4 extensions, Avast Online Security, Full Page Screen Capture, Google Translate and RoboForm so perhaps users who find it slow have a lot more extensions.
So I don't need a Lite version.

In my point of view, a "Lite version" of Cent would be... Chromium itself.

I mean, Chrome, Cent, also Opera, Vivaldi... share a common point: they are all based on Chromium, and each one adds its own features.
Removing features to Cent would be going back to Chromium, and there is no "extra" brought by Cent that I cannot disable if I don't want/use it.

Some rarely used modules can be removed from Chromium, e.g.:
NativeClient, DeveloperTools
These modules are useless for common users.
The lite version should be targeted for old machines, includes only minimum features.
