FlashPeak Slimjet Browser - An Unsung Gem?

A really excellent and rather bold idea. I doubt Google very much approves of it...
Slimjet Browser
Slimjet can use Chrome themes from the Chrome Store. But it's much more than a pretty face...

If you haven't run into the Slimjet browser before, you're in the majority. The world of web browsers delves deep into many enclaves - some of which are tiny, and highly specialised. Slimjet is actually big compared with some of the really obscure browsers, but it's still not a mainstream name.

In this post I'm going to explain why you should try Slimjet. If you like Chrome, but want something more orientated towards privacy, Slimjet could prove a great choice.

But before I go further, I should stress that there are a couple of conditions to this. One, YOU NEED TO SWITCH OFF EVERYTHING IN THE "SYNC AND GOOGLE SERVICES" TAB. And two, you need to run the Chromium NULL trick to disable data harvesting by the Omnibox search engine. Once you've done that, Slimjet has the makings of a great browsing regime.
