Re: "This browser does not support video playback"

My other Chromium browser, Vivaldi, does this as well. It is a frequent problem, and getting worse. I now use Firefox to access twitter for this reason.

[Feature Request] Keyboard Navigation on New Tab page

One big way to improve the new tab page (which isn't bad but has room for improvement), is to make the mouse unnecessary.

Browser are being tested

Re: XP support will be dropped in Slimjet 12

This seems to be largely resolved. Had to be a server-side problem. Thanks.

Re: Saved google searches

That's the browser history button. You can clear history when closing the browser. Setting to do so automatically is under Privacy.

Re: ad blocker goes hyperbolic at Breitbart.com

Thanks for testing. Correction on firefox/ublock-origin: it's just as bad as SJ/inbuilt. I guess this is a site problem.
