Like others, I recently discovered Cent Browser after Chromium 52 removed the option to disable DirectWrite font rendering, making text look blurry. I'm grateful for Cent Browser since coming from Opera for many years. Here are my requests:
Accelerators
-Add Paste and Go / Search. I use this all the time in Opera because it's so convenient versus having to drag the mouse up to the address bar, right clicking the context menu and then clicking on it.
-Add accelerators for Bookmarks Manager (currently set as Ctrl + Shift + O, but not configurable), Clear browsing data (currently Ctrl + Shift + Del, but non-configurable), Focus address bar (currently it's F6, non-configurable) and Extensions page
-Add option for accelerators to not have any shortcuts assigned. Not every user would necessarily use all of them, thus freeing up more shortcut options and prevent accidental activation.
Bookmarks Bar
-Add Add page... to the Bookmark Bar folders as a menu option. This currently only appears in the right-click context menu. I'd like to have an option to also appear under the folder, like Opera.
-Auto-resize folder menu width like Opera. Right now they all have a fixed length that can be unnecessarily long if the folder and bookmark names are short, making the user have to move the mouse cursor further to the right to open nested Bookmark Folders. Having a long width on the menu also covers up more of the current webpage in the background.
-Add option to sort folder bookmarks alphabetically in the right-click context menu or even automatically sorting it would be great. Currently, I have to manually drag and drop bookmarks to re-organize them.
-Add option to prompt the user if they want to rename the bookmark or URL when adding a page to a bookmark folder, like how it appears right now after you right-click on a bookmark and go to Edit bookmark. I rename my bookmarks most of the time because the title is either too long or for aesthetics reasons. Right now, after adding a bookmark to a folder I have to click inside the folder, right-click it, and then rename it. This is an even longer process if the bookmark is in a nested folder.
Theme / UI
Make the grey colour lighter for the Default (non-Material) theme, like the same as the Material theme. I'm specifically referring to the Bookmarks Bar because the text is black, so a lighter background colour will increase the contrast and make it more legible. (I don't use the Material theme because the text in the address bar is a bit smaller than the regular theme and other personal preference for the Default theme colours)
Context Menus
Ability to customize or remove certain options or items would be really nice (e.g. I don't have a printer, so the Print option is useless to me), particularly on the Bookmarks Bar. When I right-click on a bookmark or folder, I don't use nearly half of the options there; just mainly Delete bookmark or folder, Add page..., or Add folder, and they happen to be in the middle of the long context menu. This makes having to move the mouse cursor down more tedious each time.
Please consider these suggestions to making an excellent browser even better. Thanks
