CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

The pickings sure aren't slim with this powerful browser, although one of the pickings took us some time to figure out. Slim Browser's tabbed interface allows you to look at multiple Web sites all at once. It looks and feels like the more popular Web browsers out there, with standard navigational and shortcut buttons, so you'll feel at ease trying to find your way around all of its features.

The extras will wow you. With more than a hundred skins to choose from, you can instantly change the appearance of the browser. One of our favorite features is the ability to create groups so that you can open and view your favorite sites with a single mouse click. There's also a shortcut menu so you can browse your Desktop, My Documents folder, and even the Control Panel--all from the browser window. The pop-up blocker is exceptional; we didn't encounter a single annoying ad during testing. What's more, you can view and recover blocked pop-ups in case there was something you missed.

It took us some time to figure out how to work the RSS feature, however. Luckily, the publisher provides an online forum, so we were able pinpoint an answer to our problem, and in no time, we were viewing our favorite RSS feeds directly from the browser. IE and Firefox beware: you've got some competition. We highly recommend users of all skill levels give Slim Browser a try.

Publisher's description

SlimBrowser is a tabbed multiple-site Web browser. Its recoverable pop-up killer intelligently identifies and blocks pop-up ads without killing a desirable window by mistake. The quick-search bar provides convenient access to user-defined search engines. You can hide selected sites while browsing to protect your privacy. Extensive support for skins lets you decorate SlimBrowser to your own preference. The AutoLogin feature automatically connects and logs into specified Web sites with just one click. Seamless integration with online translation engines helps you browse sites in foreign languages. Script error suppression eliminates annoying script error dialogs. With flexible control of start-up actions, SlimBrowser can automatically open predefined mailboxes and Web sites at start-up for you. SlimBrowser uses a uniform interface to manage both local and remote resources. Version 3.57 fixes the bug about the confirmation dialog when you close SlimBrowser, fixes the bug about full-screen display of a skin, and adds shortcut keys for a duplicate current site and to open a clipboard URL.
