Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
There aren't that many Internet browsers. It was interesting to come across one that isn't as well-known or as well-advertised as the others: SlimBrowser. We can't say much about the security of this browser, since time will only tell, but it has some interesting features.
You can save all open sites as a Group, for example, which is a very convenient feature for anyone that has to regularly open the same sites simultaneously for work. There is also a Language tab, which connects you to Google in order to translate a page. It's not perfect, obviously, but it was nice to see a way to easily access such a feature. In File you can also view recently closed sites, which is nice for when you accidentally close the wrong page. You can change the skin of the browser, but most of the skins aren't aesthetically pleasing. It has a lot of the other, familiar features of other browsers so you wouldn't be missing out on those if you choose to give this a try.
Downloading this Web browser was easy. The installation was quick and easy as well. You can set up SlimBrowser to be your default browser during the installation process if you want to, but it's not required.

"Could Not Integrate With My A/V Program"
Version: SlimBrowser 6.01.101
Pros
Unknown...could not use.
Cons
When I tried to install Slim Browser in my system, my Anti-Virus program, F-Secure, made it pretty clear that it's not compatible with this browser and would not integrate (i.e: provide web protection, scan downloads, etc.) with it. So, out it went.
Summary
Since Slim Browser is essentially an I.E. clone (I've used it in the past and it's not bad - certainly more "fun" than I.E.), I thought it might work in my present system but it was not to be. F-Secure is particularly fussy about the browsers it works with (it barely tolerates Chrome), and I'm not about to chance running an unprotected browser. I can say from past experience, however, that it's a fairly decent browser and you might like it a lot - just don't try running it if you're using F-Secure.
