I tried it: sincerely I like better than other alternative browsers as Vivaldi, it has many interesting options, but I really wish to move the tab bar on the bottom !
Does Cent use noticeably less CPU/RAM than Chrome? Chrome loads/runs slowly on my son's Win7 (32-bit) laptop.
I don't think you'll see much difference. What sets it apart from Chome, is that Cent is a lot more configurable. How much RAM is in his laptop? It may be running slowly due to low RAM.
CPU: Pentium M -- RAM: 2GB (laptop came with Vista and was eventually upgraded to Win7). Win7 actually runs pretty well on it, but Chrome not so much.
That will be okay for XP, but for anything later than that you should have 4GB of RAM for basic use and more than that, if you are going to have lots of tabs open at once, or be running a lot of programs at once.
probably the best chromium based browser. it has all the privacy features you need. light as fck. only browser i use lol

Does Cent Browser allow me to sign into Google for syncing my bookmarks/extensions/passwords? Also, do you think it would be affected by the change Google is implementing soon to limit ad blockers' rules?
Yes it does. I have no idea. Maybe you could ask that on their forum. https://www.centbrowser.com/forum/
