Chromium vs Slimjet

Chrome and Chromium are available on almost every device nowadays

Every tab and plugin runs in its own subprocess so they will never affect the whole browser ,however that consumes more memory than other browsers

This is the browser Blink is made for and developed alongside.

Both Chromium and and its rendering engine Blink are licensed under the BSD-license which includes no copyleft unlike the GNU or Mozilla Licenses.

Chromium can access the Chrome Web Store and all the extensions hosted there can be installed and used on Chromium.

As Chrome is based on Chromium they overlap in supported features. Chromium syncs between devices, automatically updates, has great built-in developer tools, installs extensions without a restart, includes a combined text bar for entering URLs and searching and has excellent HTML5 compatibility just like Chrome.

It does not have any extensions preinstalled and focuses to be a web browser.

You can do almost anything with the code.

While the Chromium-based browser haev to adapt their code to the update before release, original Chromuim doesn't need it so it gets updated more constantly and frequently.

Since Google Chrome is the most used web browser, and that browser along with many others is based on Chromium, Chromium sets the standards for the internet and for security, and Firefox will always be years behind.

Chromium was first released as a large portion of Chrome's source code as an open source project by Google in september 2008. The idea was to encourage developers to review the underlying code and to contribute in making Chrome cross platform and port it to Mac and Linux as well.

Nowadays Chromium is a large project with a huge community that's standing behind it but still Google continues to take an extremely active role in Chromium development. This ensures the longevity and constant development and improvement of the browser.

Unlike Chrome it does come wihout any Google account requirement.

Lower memory footprint and CPU usage than Chromium.

Supports adding lists in ublock, adblock, adblockplus, and peerblock/peerguardian text formats.

Has advanced settings to reduce web presence footprint.

Multi-threaded streaming download manager with resume functionality. Interrupted downloads will resume when the program is launched again; number of threads and download location customizable on a per-download basis. Actually downloads Linux ISO's from most popular distributions faster than deluge, utorrent, transmission, etc.

Sign in to back up your extensions and settings, just like always.

Just have to dig into all the Settings and disable them starting with SlimJet search.

Optional buttons such as go to home page, reopen closed tab, go to downloads, go to history and many more.

Allows for downloading both video and extracted mp3 audio, a la Youtube2mp3.

You can still bring it with you on a flash drive, even when you're not on Linux.

Button is linked to cookies, so doesn't work if signed out (for security/privacy), and also doesn't include any additional tracking like a browser extension would (Facebook, Amazon, etc.)

Has a setting to unload tabs from RAM and CPU usage after a customizable threshold number of tabs are open built in.

A lot more configuration options for everything from built in "share to facebook" buttons to options meant to enable optimization on low powered/low RAM systems.
