    @mood Thanks. I just replaced Cent with the Slimjet beta, as unlike Cent, it gets regular updates. Until a very recent beta of Cent was released, which like the new beta of Slimjet is based on Chromium 85, it had received no updates since April and was still using Chromium 80.

    It's a security risk using outdated browsers, so I thought it was time I switched.

    For anyone who asks why I don't just use Chrome, there are some features included in both Cent and Slimjet that are not in Chrome/Chromium.

    And you're not worry about privacy, you trust them a 100%? For example, I personally don't fully trust browsers like Opera, Edge and Chrome. I do trust Vivaldi and Firefox to a certain degree.

    Slimjet 29 is the first version to offer DoH natively with no command-line flag required: it worked perfectly for me. It was also a huge improvement over the bug-ridden version 28 (builds 2 and 3) which crashed at almost every startup. I'm glad that Slimjet is still being well maintained.

    @mood Thanks. I've just download it. The YouTube bug was annoying.

    Does anyone know how to stop downloads from showing on the bottom of the screen every time I dl a file? Sorry if I missed it in a previous post.

    The worst part is it doesnt even disappear upon completion... just stays on screen

    The current stable build of Chome is at version 88 and was only released a week ago, so it's not too far behind.

    Oh yeah sorry I forgot plebs use stable build (jk)

    Still tho, many of the vulnerabilities when fixed in chrome could have been present for quite some time, so the fact it takes days or even weeks to update to newest chromium is quite a thing

    Which is why if you care about having the latest build of Chromium, it's probably best to use Chromium/Chrome. I'm okay with Slimjet taking a few weeks to update to newer build of Chromium.

    Your pc your choice bro.

    But I went to the slimjet page slimjet.com and I did not see anything that chromium doesnt have.

    KILL ALL ADS WITH AD BLOCKER
    Fed up with all the annoying ads? Kill them all with the built-in ad blocker. Boost the performance of your browser by saving memory, CPU and bandwidth consumed by the ads.
    ADVANCED ANTI-TRACKING OPTIONS
    Slimjet includes advanced and flexible anti-tracking options to prevent various attempts to track your identity and profile your behavior.

    Ublock origin

    WEATHER CONDITION & FORECAST
    Display currrent weather condition and weather forecast directly on the browser window.

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/weather/iolcbmjhmpdheggkocibajddahbeiglb/

    CLOUD SYNC OF BOOKMARK & DATA
    All the bookmark, history and other settings in Slimjet are automatically synced via the cloud server. Keeping the same bookmarks and data on different computers is never easier.

    Google sync? Or if using syncless chromium, you can simple use automatic sync of the user folder with your backup option of choice.

    CUSTOMIZABLE NEW TAB PAGE
    You can customize the number of quick-dial buttons and the background image. Multiple search engines and voice input are supported on the search box in the New Tab page.

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/new tab page?_category=extensions

    FLEXIBLE WEB PAGE TRANSLATION
    Instead of automatically translating a full web page into the current UI language, Slimjet lets you translate a web page or a piece of text between any two specified languages.

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rapid-translator/fagocoejplbdikabfbppeognpldagjnm?hl=en-GB

    YOUTUBE VIDEO DOWNLOADER
    Download any youtube videos to local hard disk in various resolution and format for offline viewing. You can also extract mp3 file from the downloaded video file.

    https://www.4kdownload.com/chrome-youtube-downloader

    FULLY-CUSTOMIZABLE TOOLBAR
    Slimjet let users customize the toolbar and add/remove additional buttons to quickly access more features and functionalities.

    All of the toolbar buttons shown on that page can be accesed in one or two clicks in chrome. Why u need a history toolbar button when clicking on the three dots in top right and then on History does the same? "But i wanna be faster, I wanna save one click". Then use Ctrl + H, that's way faster than moving ur mouse to the toolbar.

    ECOSYSTEM OF PLUGINS & THEMES
    Slimjet is compatible with most plugins and extenions designed for Chrome, such as Adblock Plus, RoboForm, LastPass, Avast Online Security, etc. It is also compatible with all the chrome themes.

    So it lacks some extensions and themes, hmm

    INTELLIGENT FORM FILLER
    Smarter and more convenient than the basic password manager in Chrome. Save page url and login data in a form file which lets you open your favorite online account with a single click later on.

    Any password manager extension.

    ONE-CLICK FACEBOOK INTEGRATION
    In Slimjet, you can share the link you visited, a paragraph of text or an image easily on facebook with a single click on the facebook toolbar button.

    This is actually a negative lol. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/share-to-facebook/kbgplcfihfeioiaddclapccnefggiddn

    FULL SUPPORT OF MOUSE GESTURES
    Full mouse gesture support is included in Slimjet. It lets you perform frequent actions by drawing predefined shapes with your mouse without touching the keyboard.

    That is definitely slower than simply using the keybinding for that action, i.e. pointless
    But, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crxmouse-chrome-gestures/jlgkpaicikihijadgifklkbpdajbkhjo https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/minigestures/apnjnepphihnjahpbfjiebcnpgmjnhfp https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smartup-gestures/bgjfekefhjemchdeigphccilhncnjldn https://www.thewindowsclub.com/chrome-extensions-to-setup-mouse-gestures

    It has the option to open everything typed in the address bar in a new tab, rather than the current one. This is a feature I've been using in various browsers for the past 17 or so years. There is no Chrome extension which adds this functionality, which is why I use Slimjet.

    HI-SPEED DOWNLOAD MANAGER
    Slimjet comes with a turbocharged download manager which uses multiple connections in parallel to download files up to 12x faster. It also lets you resume a download job between browser sessions.

    chrome://flags/#enable-parallel-downloading

    URL ALIAS SUPPORT IN OMNIBOX
    Slimjet lets you define short aliases for long URLs which are slow to type and hard to remember. After that, just type the aliases from the omnibox to open the corresponding page.
