What Slimjet is
Slimjet is a free desktop web browser built on the open-source Chromium project and Blink engine. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, with Windows downloads offered in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Built-in ad blocking works without plugins, opt-ins or configuration, while advanced tracking protection is listed. Slimjet supports almost all Chrome extensions through the Chrome Web Store and offers cross-device synchronization. Its download manager uses parallel connections advertised as up to 12 times faster and can resume downloads between sessions. Users can download online videos for offline viewing and extract MP3 audio from them. Toolbar buttons, browser settings and the new-tab page are customizable. The browser lists sharing integrations for several services, plus phishing and malware protection in a sandboxed multiprocess architecture. Anonymous feature-usage statistics can be disabled. Slimjet is free for personal and commercial use.
