Cent Browser is a free, Chromium-based web browser developed by Cent Studio, designed to enhance the browsing experience with a plethora of unique and practical features.
Overview
Cent Browser functions similarly to Google Chrome, leveraging the same open-source Chromium foundation, but it distinguishes itself with several advanced and user-friendly features. This browser is tailored to make web surfing more comfortable, efficient, and secure.Key Features
Interface and Tab Management
- Scrollable Tab Bar: This feature allows users to manage multiple tabs more effectively, similar to Firefox. You can set minimum tab widths and list invisible tabs using indicator buttons at the ends of the tab bar.
- Lots of Tab Options: Users have extensive control over tab behavior, including the ability to customize how tabs are displayed and managed.
Performance Optimization
- Auto Memory Optimization: This feature moves background tabs off RAM, significantly reducing memory consumption and ensuring the browser runs smoothly even with numerous tabs open.
- Lazy Session Loading: Only the active tab is loaded at startup, while other tabs wait for user activation, which is particularly useful for users who restore many tabs.
User Convenience
- Mouse Gestures: Built-in mouse gestures allow users to customize actions such as switching tabs, reloading pages, and opening downloads by holding and moving the right mouse button.
- Super Drag: This feature enables users to open new links by clicking and dragging, enhancing navigation efficiency.
Privacy and Security
- Incognito Tab: Unlike traditional incognito modes, Cent Browser opens incognito tabs within the normal browser window. This mode caches data in RAM and releases it when the incognito tabs are closed, ensuring no data is left on the hard disk.
- Privacy Protection: Cent Browser is designed to optimize privacy and security, ensuring that no data is sent to Google and providing tools to control WebRTC, HTML5, and other settings.
Additional Tools
- QR Code Generator: Users can create their own QR codes directly within the browser.
- Customizable New Tab: The new tab page can be customized to suit user preferences.
- Bookmark Bar and Boss Key: Features include a customizable bookmark bar and a boss key that can be set up to hide windows quickly.
Compatibility and Customization
