CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on May 06, 2009
When it comes to picking the perfect browser, it's all about your own personal preference. The great thing about SlimBrowser is that you can customize the interface to be as simple or robust as you want it to be. It proved to be a worthy contender of some of the most popular browsers on the market.
SlimBrowser's default user interface is quite busy, but thankfully, you can rearrange toolbars and add or remove buttons to get it looking exactly the way you want. Though it comes with only one skin, others can be added easily. The command buttons are colorful without looking too cartoonish. Each URL that you type introduces a new tab, but the tabs don't clutter your window. Scroll buttons allow you to move back and forth between them quickly and easily. We were able to create and manage site groups for even more control over browsing. The URL filter worked exceptionally well to block ads while we browsed the Web, and the browser's Privacy feature allowed us to quickly clean any browsing traces left behind.
Should you need it, the browser does include a built-in Help feature, though most will jump right in with this intuitive and customizable freeware. If you're looking for a new browser, there's a lot to love about SlimBrowser. We highly recommend it for anyone who isn't quite happy with his or her current browser.

Version: SlimBrowser 4.12 build 007
"Very intuitive in many important ways."
Pros: I use SlimBrowser because recently Firefox kept freezing on me. SlimBrowser has a minimalist sound to it and gives an incorrect impression b/c it does all that I ask. Most important, it is the most intuitive browser to setup.
Cons: The number of tabbed pages can increase quickly so that it looks like the top of a picket fence. But if you do not a close tab when you actually should have used the back arrow, and vice versa, there is no problem.
Summary: I like a lean browser without all the plugins, add-ins, etc.-ins. I prefer having separate standalone applications. However, Slimbrowser does all that I need, even though it is named like a diet food supplement. If you liked Firefox, you'll like ... read more >>

Version: SlimBrowser 4.12 build 007
"I LOVE this browser > it is easy to use!"
Pros: Fast-Easy-Customizable
Cons: Likely fewer add-ons, but I don't need that. Crashes sometimes- but not more than most others.
Summary: I really just like something that stays SIMPLE, and can be customized to do fast browsing > maybe not as fast as Chrome or Safari > but easier to use!
