CNET 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.

"great browser"
Version: SlimBrowser 6.01 build 060
Pros
this is one of the best i ve used,love the built in downloader,especially for video,great feature,and one of the fastest on win7 64 bit machine.
Cons
i cannot get the tabs at top to enlarge,there much to small if your over forty,if any kind soul knows how to do this,LET ME KNOW,i ll be very grateful.
Summary
outside of a couple small things,like on reload it sometimes loads double of the same tabs,and sometimes doesn t show the back button for previous loaded tabs,it s a great browser if they get the 2 things fix in next build.
