Slimjet is my goto browser. I use Brave as a backup browser and it does a fine job. No complaints.

Thanks, upchuck. I like Brave, but there are functions it won't do that I find vexing (or that I haven't figured out how to do):

Won't let you set it up to open a second link in a new window

Won't let you go to a link from History onto a manually-opened slave window -- it reverts back to a tab on your original window

Won't let you drag a photo into a text posting box

Won't let you drag a photo from Brave onto the desktop

As noted, these may be my fault. Otherwise, I like Brave pretty well. How does Slimjet compare?

Slimjet comes with an ad blocker. But I like Ad Block Plus better. So I disabled the built in blocker and added ABP and Ghostery to stop the trackers. Also added Reader View which is handy for getting around site that insists you disable your ad locker.

Slimjet does a good job. I use Brave as a backup browser and for sites that don’t like Slimjet, few and far between.
