On July 8th， CentBrowser released its latest test version， marking a significant leap in its kernel version from 118 directly to 132. This update not only brings the browser up to date with the latest Chromium engine but also introduces a series of functional improvements and optimizations， addressing a notable gap since its last official release. The long wait for an update has been a point of discussion among its user base， who popularly refer to it as a “yearly updated browser” due to its typically slow release cycle. Its previous official version was updated on June 27， 2024， utilizing kernel version 118.
While global browser market share reports， such as the latest from Statcounter for June 2025， show Chrome dominating with 68.35%， there remains a segment of users， particularly within China， who seek tailored browsing experiences. Browsers built upon the Chromium framework， such as CentBrowser， aim to bridge this gap by integrating features that cater to local user habits and preferences.
CentBrowser has cultivated a loyal following thanks to its inclusion of highly sought-after features like tab scrolling， mouse gestures， super drag， small tab mode， and memory optimization. These functionalities offer a more efficient and personalized browsing experience compared to the standard Chromium base.
