For god's sake, change your profile pic My jet is not slim anymore.
Jokes apart, seems like I really need to try this browser. Download in-progress

I'm not up on what chrome will do, but SJ allows for limiting the size of cache, for placing the cache wherever you want (like on a faster drive/partition or SD card), and for optimizing the RAM periodically. It also has a built-in ad blocker, which is more efficient than an extension would be. I find SJ a bit slow opening on Windows, but once it's up it's fine. And on Linux there is no lag at all. It does have a native Linux version, including 64 bit.I cant see slimjet being that much different,it shares the same engine as chrome.
Thank you paul for your explanation.One of the big gripes i have with chrome is its incessant cache building.I'm not up on what chrome will do, but SJ allows for limiting the size of cache, for placing the cache wherever you want (like on a faster drive/partition or SD card), and for optimizing the RAM periodically.

Well seeing as slimjet appears to be an independent project i dont think it needs to stick with the chrome release schedule.(i may be wrong on this though.).and it is one or two builds behind Chrome, so in term of security it is already potentially less safe than Chrome...

There may be a lot of point to it. One guy I recommended SJ to came back saying it revolutionized his surfing because of the ad blocker. Pages now loaded in 1/5th the time, and were far more readable. Of course, you can use an ad blocker extension in many browsers, but it's better to have it integrally compiled in.whats the point in a fast browser if you have a slow internet connection?
1- slimjet is faster than other chromium based browsers according to independent tests (I hope proponents of this statements support the claim with tables, charts etc
I use Slimjet/Cyberfox both portable on & off. I find both same on my system. May be little difference on some site Slim being faster & on some Cyberfox.I have a question: Between Slimjet and Cyberfox, what is faster?.
