    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.

    Min is so simple and easy to use. Not the fastest browser out there, but definitely one of the easiest to use.

    I already added a comment with the information that this is a very shady company you shouldn't trust at the other opera browsers, but I want to warn people to not use this here too!
