First try and reset the sync data. Here are all the instructions on how to do that.

Thanks for the instructions and perseverance. A Bleeping Computer helper came up with a fix, which is at the very bottom of http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ ... try3913181. The fixit program eliminated Word Highlight and I didn't have to go further.

Your instructions point to how much a user of Slimjet browser can become a prisoner of Google. Until one signs on as a guest, it's a mess trying to figure one's way through it, let alone get out of it. I've now switched to being a guest (Person 1) and it's much easier and more what I expect so far out of a browser (although Settings shows one of my aliases as a Person).
