If possible with html5 Implemented in it
Note: Sorry Bad English

No, it's really just an illusion without any mumbo-jumbo in betweenIt's only an illusion if we allow it to be so, no?
Applications on your system are collecting data, the moment you step foot on the internet your ISP begins collecting, shall I go on, its a long list.It's only an illusion if we allow it to be so, no?
@illumination -- for a browser, yeah, it is. Heaviness aside the point, it's a highly intrusive browser, which is why Slimjet and others have worked tirelessly to reduce data sent to Google, as well as to prevent computer information/IP's from being leaked to prying hands.

I used this analogy once before, and it still applies, as serious common sense..
When you step out of your house into public, do you expect to be able to do things and not be seen?
Why then would you consider the internet any different that going out into public, as that is exactly what you are doing.

PS: @illumination I like your "mutated" light spidey on your siggy.![]()
It goes without saying that when you divulge information on the internet you should do so using common sense, just like you would in public. Paranoia on the other hand is not needed. People not using Google because it collects user data is just plain silly, when the operating system they are on does the same, and all applications they use on their systems do as well.I
Like the internet, I make sure I don't walk out into any questionable neighborhoods without taking precautions, even though it doesn't totally reduce the risk of me being mugged. I'm not denying that we can't 100% prevent our privacy/personal information from being exposed to strangers, but we should continue to work tirelessly to reduce that risk. The illusion is thinking that we shouldn't be concerned about our privacy on the internet, even to the point of paranoia, especially with identity theft and other things at an all-time high.
I think there's a fine line between Google and small pc applications, and I think you know that. Besides, it's Google, not my Windows Calculator, that could have access to my email, my name, location, bank information, and browsing habits. What could go wrong? Also, I use Google, but I do so with caution, and I don't even bother with their Google account crap (AKA Google+), which IMO has done more damage than anything else in opening up the floodgates to identity theft.It goes without saying that when you divulge information on the internet you should do so using common sense, just like you would in public.

There is no fine line between any of these companies. They all have the same common goal of keeping users like you, me and everyone else as potential income period. They all collect data in order to see who is using what, and how. Now I'm off to watch a movie, as exposure to too much tin foil makes me itch..I think there's a fine line between Google and small pc applications, and I think you know that.

Could you provide verifiable evidence that slimjet does not collect your data.?It's only an illusion if we allow it to be so, no?

Tried on Debian and then reverted to Chromium.You should take a look here: Brave Software (Chromium based)
As you can see here SlimJet is quite clean. Antivirus scan for c5fc746f5cbf58a1f222f8b37bfec354f9cd771ad33c6745d1ae0cac8dccfb69 at 2016-06-11 12:29:35 UTC - VirusTotalI just tried Slimjet today. However I experienced an unacceptable result
kaspersky 2016 detected SJ as a malware after I tried to login SJ to my google account for syncing
Kaspersky showed countless notifications with malicious behaviors. SJ then became completely unresponsive and had to be remove manually. I tried to put it into exclusion and reinstall but the malicious behaviors cannot bypass kaspersky so SJ cannot be opened anymore
I reported this bug to SJ. very bad experience
I know. I could use it perfectly without logging inAs you can see here SlimJet is quite clean. Antivirus scan for c5fc746f5cbf58a1f222f8b37bfec354f9cd771ad33c6745d1ae0cac8dccfb69 at 2016-06-11 12:29:35 UTC - VirusTotal
