Sentria2.0094.33444.65 Beta

Sentria is a Chromium-based web browser that aims to offer you a different way of interacting with web content.

Packs an interesting mix of features designed to improve your browsing experience

It bundles all the key features you would expect from a humdrum, modern-day web browser. It comes with support for multiple tabs, it allows you to bookmark your favorite websites, it allows you to quickly gain insight into past web-related activities by recording your browsing history and it even helps you browse anonymously via a Private Window.Before anything, you should also know that Sentria bundles a personal assistant named Rita and that it also packs a DualView/SplitView feature, aimed to help you get the best out of two side-by-side webpages.

Bizarre UI that might leave some users confused and annoyed

The first thing that stands out is, of course, the app's user interface. The browser features a typical, modern and grey-themed UI but, mind you, not all the elements are "docked" to the main window, as you will soon find out. Opening wepages, navigating and searching for content are dealt with in a fairly similar manner to any other browser.The Options section is separated from the browser's main window and can be accessed from the left side of your computer's screen. That's not the end of the floating UI elements. The SimpleView feature, which can be easily activated from the address bar's right side, helps you go back and forward between webpages, access the History or Downloads sections, select the zoom levels, as well as to save the current webpage.

Rough around the edges might be a bit of an understatement

Before we conclude, we would like to urge you not to set your expectations too high, at least for now. Sentria goes against all the current web browser design trends of integrating as many features as smoothly as possible within a friendly UI towards creating a unified browsing environment, hence, making the user experience more comfortable.Furthermore, since it is in a fairly young development stage, Sentria is by no means a polished product just yet. During our tests, we have come upon multiple bugs, glitches, and small issues. One thing's for sure, this app still requires a fair bit of work put into it, before it can convince you that it is a valid alternative to your day-to-day browser.All in all, if you are keen on experimenting a Chromium-based browser that takes on a different approach both regarding looks and functionality, then you can give Sentria a quick try-out and see if it fits your style or not.
