what happened to the distill google chrome option

Reader Mode enabled in Cent Browser perpetually shows the icon, (so you don't have to go fishin for it in the Menu!)

Very Nice

Had to look up what "Cent Browser" means : ) For some reason in my insulated world I have associated Chromium browsers with Chrome books and I have know idea how I came to that conclusion. Cent Browser is indeed unique. I am not quite sure I am adventurous enough to give it a go.

"...used by less than one-sixth of one percent of all those who ran a browser last month."

Meh, go for it! You won't be disappointed!

Baby steps : ) I downloaded the portable version and went to settings and entered first "distill" and then "reader mode" but nothing came up. A very cursory google search came up empty. I don't suppose you know if the distill feature works in the cent portable version and if it does where the heck is it? TIA.

paste chrome://flags into your address bar, search 'reader', enable it, relaunch...

Brilliant! Thanks. One problem though and I want to say that I believe the same thing happened with Chrome's distill feature. When I go to this link about sci fi books:

The 11 best new sci-fi books to check out on your new Kindle - The Verge

In both Chrome and the portable cent browser it lists all of the books however when I use the "toggle distilled page contents" in the cent browser it only shows what I guess is the first page only the first two books and not the entire list. Are you able to replicate this and if so anyway to get the entire contents of the distilled page to show. Thanks.

(I had to reduce the size of the page to show the distilled contents ie. what I see)

Yeah, many web pages will cut, (or not allow), a lot of elements in Reader Mode...

Not sure how it all works but..., for one thing, it's a cookie/ad/revenue thing, if you know what I mean.

OK, copy that. Thanks.

My favorite and most frequently used feature of Cent is the ability to open a page of my choice in a New Tab by middle clicking anywhere on the empty Tab Bar...
