In light of the recent bugs(Spectre & Meltdown) with Intel/AMD CPUs, Slimjet users can take the following action to alleviate the security issues caused by these bugs: Type chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process into address bar and turn on the option "Strict Site Isolation". However, this feature is highly experimental and you might experience some small performance hit as well. If you notice some functionality issues after turning on this option, please feel free to report it here.

and keeps crashing the browser!

I have sent numerous error reports.

doesn't work for me even when that flag is enabled my slimjet is still vulnerable .......https://xlab.tencent.com/special/spectr ... check.html windows 7 latest version of slimjet installed
for that setting to work i'm pretty sure people's operating system need to have been patched too , so windows update patch , manufacturer of what chip your using patch etc etc

If only one CPU core is used for all Slimjet processes, then the test will always be passed! But the performance is very bad.
"Strict site isolation" flag is enabled.

I just checked all 5 browsers on my Mac, and they all came up "Not Vulnerable".
