Cent Browser 1.8.9.28(for Windows) Released

[Admini]

Me too I've reloaded this page to be able to read/write messages.
When material design flag is active, extensions bar icons are very small, so it's unusable, just like in chrome. Maybe it's a bug... i know it's not officially released. But i really like the new look, hope to see it soon (april as i heard).
Thanks for the update !

Material design is still under development, it should be fully usable in Chromium 51/52.

Hi CentBrowser team,

nice to see a new release, but some behavior was changed since the previous build, that is not great at all. Don't know if this comes from chromium or your fork,(EDIT : again, it comes from a stupid idea from google) but it is really a bad idea

I know this is some point of view (maybe I'm the only one th think this), but :

I'm using a lot "go to page up/Go to page down" mouse gestures. Until build 1.7.x, when using it, it was like pressing Home/End on the keyboard and it was instantly (this is the important part !). Since build 1.8.x, this is not instantly anymore, and I can't see the benefits to change this. It makes pages scroll fast (like keeping pushing page up/down) instead of going instantly to the beginning or the end of a page, and it gives headaches (really !)


please, I'm begging you, put the old behavior back !




EDIT : this shitty behavior is caused by the "new" stupid smooth scrolling that Google have activated by default (since Chromium 49). This was already in Chromium/Chrome since a long time, but it wasn't activated by default (that was nice, because they made shit with it). SmoothScrollerator is so much better than that !

Any chance to disable BY DEFAULT smooth scrolling (#disable-smooth-scrolling) ? Or maybe add a checkbox to disable it in options ?

Well, we will disable that feature by default in next version.

@CentBrowser team : I don't know if you already know this, but some recent (optionnal) updates in Windows 8.1 (x64) make Centbrowser (x64) not working (and probably Chrome/Chromium) ! I don't know exactly which one(s), but this is really unpleasant and hard to find the problem...


I made those lame updates yesterday, since then all builds I tried (1.7.6.15 and 1.8.9.24, portable/normal) can't browse the web. It does not load the default page, and not even CR option's page ! Only a blank page...Seriously, Microsoft did not find anything else to try to put IE11 in the front ? 


BTW, I didn't tried latest Chrome/Chromium builds (not interested), I just removed all the updates I made yesterday and everything is working again ! So I don't know if latest builds work with those updates.



ps : first, I thought it was this new build, so I tried to install an older one over it...but CR setup is really nasty and does not allow it. Worst, it doesn't tell us that an old build can't be installed over a new one ! I had to read CR log in temp folder to know it ("Higher version of Cent Browser is already installed."), then go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CentBrowser" to change the key "pv"

IMHO, setup should allow installing over a much recent build...or at least ask if we wan't to uninstall it before.

Sorry but we should post an introduction about how to install old version over new one. The trick is "DELETE registry item HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CentBrowser".And you have got it already.
And what you encountered in version 1.8.9.24 may be a bug, you can try 1.8.9.28.It should be fixed.
(NPAPI completely disabled in version 1.8.9.28)

1. In version 1.8.9.28 Local plugins should work?
2. "Single renderer process" now only for Extensions? What is reason this change?

NPAPI is completely disabled in 1.8.9.28 because of a lot of compatibility issues.(crash, lagging., etc)
We changed "Single renderer process" to "Single extension process" because Chromium have a command line to do it.
And it is more flexible than us.You can add following command line to chrome.exe(not the "Startup command line" option in the settings page):
--renderer-process-limit=1

Does this error occur in multi-login tab or incognito window?
And you can make a screenshot as the attachment does(to record the timing of network request) with developer tool.
