![]() ![]() I started using Firefox and was one of the first users of it and remember the excitement of it getting 1 million users, back in the day when IE was the only alternative. I was looking for an alternative to browsers. Open console terminal in that folder and run the command below which only needs to be done once for the secure "sandbox", select option 1 sudo, after Slimjet comes up, wait a minute and close it, then you can create a desktop launcher shortcut to the "flashpeak-slimjet" file in that folder to run it from then on. *** Re: Slimjet: Linux Mint 19 users and other users can download and use the Slimjet archive file under Other Linux where you just save the "" file right-click it extract here, move the new "slimjet" folder from your Downloads folder to your home folder or an "apps" folder in your home folder. It also has a built-in language translation option. Slimjet also has a handy unique feature of being able to automatically shrink (scale) images for uploading images to websites like this forum that have specific image size limitations. Its turbo download is the fastest of all the browsers I have tried. Phd21 wrote:My newest favorite browser is called "Slimjet" because it has a lot of really cool built-in features and it is fast and secure and can use the Chrome extension add-ons. As was already mentioned, there is Waterfox, "Opera" is great, Google's Chrome is excellent, "Brave", SeaMonkey, etc. I have always loved Firefox and their newest version takes a little getting used to, but it still works great. There are many really nice browsers available to install and use. ![]() Some people will use a particular browser for special purposes like online banking, paying bills, shopping, and nothing else and use another browser for general surfing, browsing the Internet, or for different users using the same computer and user account (you can create different user accounts though).Īll editions and versions of Linux Mint come with an Internet browser installed, usually Firefox. There is always a possibility that an update may temporarily cause a browser some issues for a short time which means you could easily start another browser and use that in the meantime. I think it is a good idea for everyone to have at least 2 web browsers installed for various reasons. It does not sound like Cyberfox is being well maintained and updated. I just read your post and the good replies to it. So I am posting this to say if you've not tried it and don't want to go down the chrome opera route as an alternative browser why not give it a try - you might love as I do I had read that it doesn't update, but it does and has just updated today which was very easy to do as Firefox used to be and all my settings are the same. It is like having Firefox as used to be, nice friendly and just well nice. Not finding much I thought I would give it a try anyway and I must admit that I love it. Then during a search on line I saw Cyberfox and looked on here to see if any others were using and what their thoughts were as this is the first place to look for things. When I started using Mint I chose not to use and thought of other browser and at first used chrome which many use. I stopped using it when it kept updating too often and was no longer the friendly browser it once was. ![]()
