Regarding Slimjet and privacy, I take a pragmatic view. The company has been around for quite a while, having spawned Slimbrowser and other browsers. It is based in the US, in Texas I believe. And if someone ever did packet tracing and found they were violating their own privacy claims, it would be over for them. Users have long memories. So a) they would have to be lying, and b) they would have to not get caught at it over time. I think that has a slim probability.
But in Linux I find SJ's video problem increasingly severe. Twitter and many news sites now do not play video. And SJ's management has not taken a very involved role in sorting out problems, so a couple of weeks ago I decided to make the switch to Vivaldi, which not only has a robust development pace but also a vibrant online community. I think in about half a year V will be at the very top of the heap.
