    Very simple and easy browser, fits perfectly around the Gnome desktop. Made on top of WebKit, so it opens all websites as you would expect.

    It helps me stay focused on web pages rather than the web browser. It has everything I need and nothing more. The GTK interface is simply awesome.

    Slimjet I have found is the best alternative to Chrome. It's fast & light and you can use all of Chrome & google extensions

    One thing I miss from Firefox is the Bookmarks side panel. Slimjet has one if you press Ctrl+I although you can't drag-and-drop from the URL to the side panel. The main reasons I run Slimjet is an alternative to my company's modified version of Chrome on my company laptop, so I have my own profile loaded instead of my work profile, and because it seems to handle some sites better than Firefox.

    It is a lighter version of Chrome, no tracking and with lots of essential features intergrated like adblock.
