Re: Version 32.0.3.0 is not

My guess is insufficient regression testing at Slimjet central.

Re: Version 32 general discussion

Since last update, much shorter duration of this on close:

So there was a problem only partially fixed before.

Really the devs should be more transparent about minor bug fixes.

Re: Slimjet 32.0.2 won't install

For a while, I've had automatic updates turned off and used the offline install file.

It's the same with Brave, so I suspect a Chrome issue.

Re: Browser inventory. General discussion

Switching to Brave as my default browser (after their last update), but not getting rid of Slimjet.
For one only Slimjet has built in YouTube video downloading.

Slimjet is getting rather feature rich for a browser pitched as "slim", but Brave is still a memory hog.

We'll see.
