Built in Ad Blocker
Many users who are fed up of Ads dominating all the websites they visit use 3rd party Ad Blocking Extensions. Examples of such Ad Blocking extensions are "Adblock plus", "AdBlock", "Adguard AdBlocker". However, the ad blocker extensions available in Chrome/Slimjet are based on Javascript API and runs at slower speed compared with native implementation. Also, extensions require an extra process which use extra memory and other system resources. To provide users with ad-free browsing experience with minimum performance degradation, Slimjet implements the Ad blocker natively within the browser itself. The built-in Ad blocker is superior to all the ad blocking extensions in terms of performance and speed. It uses the same community-maintained filtering rules used by other extensions.
