Chromium-based Slimjet Browser with Continued Support for XP / Vista and Top-notch Privacy Protection Technologies

Austin, Texas – May 19, 2016. FlashPeak announces the official release of Slimjet Web Browser 10.0, which is built upon Chromium 50 but continues to support XP and Vista. Slimjet comes with every bell and whistle available in Google Chrome while offers a lot more features and options out of the box to increase privacy protection, boost performance and increase customizability.

As is well known, Google Chrome has stopped supporting XP and Vista since the release of Chrome 50 in April, 2016. However, as of today, Windows XP still commands more than 10% market share worldwide based on data from Netmarketshare.com.  “If someone is still using Windows XP today, they will not upgrade to a newer OS any time soon. If a browser doesn’t support their OS, they will simply switch to another browser. ” said Stephen Cheng, president of FlashPeak Inc. “Slimjet fills in the gap by continuing to offer the latest web technologies and security patches to users of XP and Vista.” 

In addition to XP and Vista support, Slimjet also continues to support Java applet and other NPAPI-based plugins, such as Silverlight, Adobe PDF reader and more. Java applet is still used by many enterprise platforms and financial websites. NPAPI-based plugins are also widely used by the banking sites in countries with widespread fraud and online fishing to gain stronger security not easily achievable with plain html technologies. Slimjet provides smoother transition to the latest web technologies for consumers and businesses depending on such legacy technologies.

Slimjet is designed to provide top-notch privacy protection to every internet user. Unlike Google Chrome, Slimjet doesn’t send any usage statistics to Google, the largest web advertising behemoth which is hungry for every bit of user information. On top of that, Slimjet automatically blocks all the ads, tracking cookies and tracking scripts on every website you visit so that you can enjoy a clean and ad-free web with the fastest speed. The built-in ad blocker in Slimjet performs better than any ad blocker extensions on the market due to higher level of integration. What’s more, Slimjet offers many advanced privacy-control options so that users can build up the level of privacy protection based on their personal needs and preference. 

A turbo-charged download manager is directly implemented in Slimjet to boost the file download speed up to 12 times by utilizing multiple connections to download the same file from a single server. It also makes managing download jobs much easier, compared with the primitive download manager available in Chrome and other big-name browsers. Slimjet also automatically applies on-the-fly compression when users share photos online on their favorite social network. The upload speed of photos can be easily boosted by 10 to 20 times. 

Slimjet is available at no cost to individual users and businesses. Slimjet is compatible with Windows (XP or above) and Linux platforms. To learn more about Slimjet web browser, please visit http://www.slimjet.com.
