Cent Browser is a feature-packed Chrome remake

Cent Browser is a free Chromium-based browser for Windows with a solid range of extras and enhancements.

A Firefox-like tab bar enables you to set the minimum width of a tab, then scroll the tab bar using the mouse wheel to find whatever you need.

A comprehensive set of mouse gestures allow you to step a page forward or back, move through your tabs, toggle full screen, reload, view downloads or history, and more. Just hold down the right mouse button and make the necessary action.

Tab-related improvements include a customizable New tab (set it to open your preferred URL, maybe always open in Incognito mode), extra navigation options (double or right-click to close a tab, switch tabs with the mouse wheel), and new ways to prevent a pinned tab from being accidentally closed.

Under the hood tweaks like lazy session loading, automatic memory optimization and an optional single render process aim to reduce the browser’s impact on your system.

Smaller bonus tools include a configurable Boss key, a QR code generator, and right-click options to use Yahoo, Bing and other engines when searching for selected text.

There’s not much documentation for any of this, so discovering exactly what’s available here -- and how to use it -- can take a while. And of course there’s a lot of Chrome-based competition. Cent Browser is a likable package with some genuinely useful extras, though, and we’ll be interested to see how it develops.
