FlashPeak wrote:Slimjet is a free web browser that is fast, secure and powerful. It's built on top of the Google Chrome browser but integrates a lot more powerful and convenient features while keeping the same fast browsing speed. Chrome is simple and fast but doesn't include enough options. Slimjet is designed to be more flexible and customizable. Here is a brief list of features built into Slimjet but not available in Chrome:

• Fully customizable toolbar
  QuickFill form filler
  Youtube video downloader
  Local Weather forecast
  Automatic photo shrinking to reduce upload time
  Photo enhancement before upload
  Facebook integration
  Flexible web page translation
  Type alias instead of long URL from address
  Save web page screenshot
  Auto refresh control
  Multiple proxy switcher with support of socks5 proxy
  Upload clipboard image with a single click
  Address bar typed url history dropdown
  Flexible new tab control options

Since Slimjet is built on top of Chrome browser, all extensions designed for Chrome in Chrome Web Store will be fully compatible with Slimjet.

FAQ wrote:Q: What is the difference between Slimjet, SlimBrowser and SlimBoat?

They are all web browser products from FlashPeak Inc but they are based on different engines. Slimjet is based on Blink engine (the engine behind Chrome from Google). SlimBrowser is based on Trident engine (the engine behind Internet Explorer from Microsoft). SlimBoat is based on the Qt-port of Webkit engine. The three browsers have a similar set of features. Slimjet is the most robust and stable of the three and is most suitable for people who prefer a simple and clean user interface. SlimBrowser is suitable for people who prefer an advanced user interface with as many options as possible. SlimBoat has the smallest memory footprint and run across multiple platforms but might have compatibility issues with a few web sites due to the QtWebkit engine. Slimjet is our top recommendation for Windows users.

In the portable version, all the settings and data are stored under the folder where the portable version archive is extracted. If you are running it off a USB disk, make sure it has at least 2G free space. Also, make sure it has reasonable read/write speed. Otherwise you might feel it runs significantly slower than a hard drive installation. If you extract it on the hard disk, DO NOT extract into the program files folder under the system folder (such as c:\program files or c:\program files (x86). Extract it under your personal folder or any folder not on the system drive.

The data and settings between the regular installer version and the portable version are completely independent of each other. If you switch between the two versions, you will have to copy the data between them manually. In the portable version, all the data and settings are stored under the "User Data" within the extraction folder. In the regular version, all the data and settings are stored under the local application data folder. The path is usually like "c:\users\YourUserName\AppData\local\Slimjet\User Data" under Windows Vista or later. It is like "c:\documents and settings\YourUserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Slimjet\User Data" under Windows XP.
