STABLE version -- 4.3.9.248

[ghoff]

also no ads for me....and it blocks all add as ublock did with Cent. Maybe you downloaded off a 3rd party site, but I trust Softpedia, as that's what they do when posting software....verify it's clean. And it is.

Try it from softpedia (altho they also download from catsxp, they actual sandbox and test the heck out of all software)...maybe do an "inspect" to figure out what those 5 ads are...maybe ad placeholders due to how their "shields" work (their ad removal)?? 

Anyway, fine for me, I've been testing and trust it, people. Everyone has an opinion and choice.

I was about to make the switch but the 1 pain (that's been pointed out) is we can't disable directwrite....so for now it's in #2 spot!!

i agree catsxp is most like cent for:
multicolumn  folders in bookmarks bar
opening tabs in new pages by default if not on same domain
popup handling
most other options.

built-in adblockcng is ok. 
it is very current with chrome 98, and auto-update can be disabled by disbling update service if you wish

however: 
catsxp seems to use its own sync service. i could not get catsxp to use google sync for passwords and bookmarks. this is important to me because i've got a number of devices.
this pushes me towards slimjet - but it's getting old on chrome 94.

al this takes me closer to jumping to edge (!?!?!)


what browsers do google sync still?
