Tired of adding one extension after another to get ad blocking, translation and screenshots? Slimjet, FlashPeak’s Chromium-based browser, builds them in and combines everyday browsing with features for downloads, photos, translation, and page controls.
Browsing controls built into Slimjet
Slimjet includes an ad blocker and anti-tracking options in the browser, alongside controls for phishing and malware protection. The customizable toolbar lets you add or remove buttons for features you use frequently. A configurable new-tab page provides quick-dial shortcuts, with options for the number of buttons and the background image.
Mouse gestures offer another way to trigger common browser actions: draw a predefined shape with the mouse instead of reaching for a keyboard shortcut. Slimjet also includes settings for tab behavior, such as when new tabs open and how they are placed.
What can Slimjet do with downloads and media?
The download manager can split a file transfer across multiple connections and resume a job after a browser session ends.
Photo tools cover both preparation and upload. Photo Salon applies effects or frames, while automatic compression can resize images to web-oriented dimensions before upload. Slimjet can also upload an image copied to the clipboard without first saving it as a separate file.
Translation, search, and page tools
Slimjet’s translation controls let you choose the source and target languages and translate either a whole web page or selected text. You can search from the new-tab page by typing or speaking, using whichever of several search engines you prefer, and a control beside the address bar provides a quick way to switch search engines. URL aliases let you assign short terms to longer addresses and enter those terms in the address bar.
Other browser tools include saving a full-page or selected-area screenshot, refreshing pages on a schedule, and stopping animated GIFs. The AI Chat feature can answer questions and revise text. Weather conditions and forecasts can also appear in the browser window.
