Ideas

Post by dev »

Added same ideas to your information page but thought I may as well post here too (feel free to delete to move as the forum grows) Be able to move your custom buttons to the right of the search bar plus add some of google ones in there like extensions, flags etc. Add to the search options in the right click context menu (Example, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... mooo?hl=en ) A clear from hard drive option in the download right click context (status-bar one). An add to bookmarks or bookmark current page command in the right click context menu. A inbuilt Mouse gesture control like in coolnovo browser. No inbuilt adblocker, adblock plus is as good as anything. A bookmark favicon manager. Integrated I.E tab or a swap engine as in coolnovo, it does come in handy, nice if you could use slimboat rendering as a option. A floating quick access toolbar (autohide and movable) with a zoom, mute, clear browsing, themes, translate etc buttons on it. An clear browsing data on exit option. Apart from those ideas your beta version seems to be as good as any browser i have used of late and that is a fair few (coolnovo, superbird, comodo, coowon, aurora. iron) so keep up the great work and hope you keep up with google chrome updates as a fair few of other devs have not.
Would be good to see the browser as custom as it can be without having to use chrome apps or extensions as google are trying to squeeze the devs into making everything they offer to be monetized. For example the brill extension YTO youtube options is now not free as it once was and the way google is introducing restrictions on what people cannot and can use in their browser is a worrying sign of things to come.

Thanks for your suggestions. That's a lot of take in. :)

" A clear from hard drive option in the download right click context ". I don't understand what you mean by this. Can you elaborate a little bit?

I wholeheartedly agree with the last section of this post. Google seems to be trying to become the reincarnation of George Orwell's Big Brother. Don't quite understand why but there is probably a sound business reason at Google to do this. The internet has been free since its inception and any moves to restrict it should be thwarted. I don't like all the content that is available but then I don't like all movies, TV shows or books. Did make the mistake quite a few years ago to go to the Whitehouse page to voice a concern while the Clintons were resident. Typed in www.whitehouse.com instead of .gov. First thought was that Bill had decided to turn the websight to porn. Since I was at work I went to my boss to tell him what I did so I would not get nailed. He laughed himself sick. Seems like I wasn't the only one to make that mistake. That said, I hope that Slimjet can overcome some of the restrictions and "guidelines" that seem to rule Google.

Good work so far and am looking forward to future enhacements.

Would like to see the favorites lean more to the style used in SB. Along with the tool bar also.

Agree completely. SlimBoat's interface is better IMO.

Some more suggestions :)

optionally Tabs below the navigation toolbar and checkboxes for auto hiding the navigation toolbar when not hovering with the mouse over it :)

More tab options for me, like maybe an incognito tab added to Slimjets menu or to the right click context menu. Another I would like to see is an reopen closed tab like they have in CoolNovo, Coowon and 360 browser.

"reopen closed tab" command is already in use is it not , right click on a open tab scroll down.
Incognito tab added to the hamburger menu would be better than the "new incognito window" command as your not opening up separate process, handy for users that do not have a lot of ram or a older computer.

Mouse Gestures should be adjusted.
Switching search engine should give the result for the current request

Ideal implemented in CoolNovo. Make just the same.

Style buttons - it's awful, I'm sorry. Return usual style Chrome
