I use Brave for everyday use. Works a treat.
I finally did it.

Re: I finally did it.
Only thing I don't like about the Brave browser is the nudging to sing up to get paid to look at ads. Otherwise it seems pretty good.

Re: I finally did it.
Once you've gotten rid of the ads, pop-ups & overlays, most sites are OK-ish. (I had to use un-modded Edge recently, the experience made me wonder how people put up with that.)

Re: I finally did it.
This thread caught my attention and I decided to investigate that SlimJet stuff and then I installed it on a Win7 machine and it seems interesting. In fact, I am using it right now.
But I am confused about how it can be a clone of Chrome and allow us to look like it is the regular Google Chrome when we are on a Google site, but it is not Chrome, right?
And I am noticing something that is really beginning to gnaw at me. I can't find a proper manual. Yes, I know there is the forum for SlimBrowser and SlimJet and all that. And there are all those pages of a kind of manual, but without images to guide certain people along into understanding exactly how to do certain things there are going to be a whole mess of mistakes by the average lady/fella that are sort of like beginners.
It seems to me that the more sophisticated our IT world gets the less and less the professionals have time to make the old style manuals with images to guide people along.
It is the style with all sorts of programs.
I mean, look at what happened when I asked y'all to check my work at AVG. And, yes, I view that as work.
You folks think I am off my rocker to be demanding that things be put right over there. And you might be right.
Folks just don't have the time for that sort of work, anymore.
Now, if I am totally wrong and there is a wonderful image-laden manual for SlimJet out there I will eat my words and drink the SC Water of Guilt, after you point me to where that manual is.
Oh yes, and Abdul Alhazred, thank you for pointing me in the direction of this SlimJet browser. (Yes, I know that upper-case 'J' is against their rules.) I didn't like Chrome because of that auto update style. Plus Google is simply starting to dig way too deep into my backyard. They will be in my basement soon.

Re: I finally did it.
Yes, I am familiar with that forum.
Let me give you an example of an interesting problem that my stupid bran can't figure out.
We can view our "History" and we can save only part of it using the pdf tool if it runs about 70 or more entries, so we have to save entries twice to get the full list; that is the top of the list and then a second save for the bottom of the list. Maybe three times if we have many, many more entries.
We can go here:
C:\Users\Insert Your USername here\AppData\Local\Slimjet\User Data\Default (A Win7 unit)
But what do we use to open those files? And you know that the average computer person probably doesn't even know how to enable the viewing of hidden folders on a Win7 unit. Probably doesn't even know that can be done; that there are hidden folders.
And I used the Google search tool and removed the two terms '-delete' and '-clear' and still found no entries about saving the history.
Of course, I am probably forgetting something very basic, but right now I have to use that weird style of top of the page and bottom of the page and it seems that folks have been wanting to save a copy of the history list before dumping all that and have been wanting to do that for a fair bit of time, but I cannot seem to figure out a simpler way of doing it and cannot find anything useful through the normal search style.
I don't know, that just seems odd.
And that is where a manual would be very useful. Well, that would be just one page of the manual. And I have no idea whether the SlimJet UI mirrors Chrome's and whether a Chrome manual, if one exists, would teach me how to do an easier history save.

Re: I finally did it.
I appreciate your assistance.
I found that one about 12 hours ago but I couldn't find any save history thing in that, either.
I do realize I could have missed it. I am really hoping this is just some stupid miss by me of that sort.
I also zap all history -- the cookies and all related stuff, but I save to a personal file before I do the zap, which can be useful in case I am forgetting something later.
Also I do not have most of any settings at auto so that I can backtrack in case I made a mistake of some sort. It is more time consuming to zap stuff like that manually, but it can also be a big save-my-butt thing if I can go back and find something if made a stupid mistake.
