Slim Browser -- Opinions?

Has anyone used IE Slim Browser? If so, any thoughts? Good? Bad? I'd Appreciate your opinions.

 

I have used it and wasn't at all impressed- i prefer opera wen i find the need for a multiple tab browser

 

Thanks. The screenshot looked . . . ordinary . . . I won't bother D/Ling it.

 

I usually use Avant Browser and Opera. I tried the new Slim Browser and think it's pretty good. It's updated frequently and I have had no problems with it. Right now, it's my third choice browser but that may change.

 

I use MyIE2. Might want to check it out.

I'd use Avant if he fixed the memory leak in it and the extreme slowdown with the program after a while of using it. I'd prefer to use Opera but it doesn't support In-Line frames properly.

 

Like Kodo, I also use MyIE2 MyIE2 is a fantastic web browser. It has tons of features. Such as: tabs, built in pop-up killer, plugins, skins. It is updated often. It's FREE. And my favorite feature is it's drag and drop. If you should come across a url link that is NOT clickable, all you have to do is highlight it, drag it up your screen just a bit, and then MyIE2 will automatically open the web site for you.

I have tried Slim Browser but I didn't care for it. Slim Browser didn't have all the features that MyIE2 has. (Although to be fair, I haven't tried any of the new releases of Slim Browser that has come out lately. The last time I tried Slim Browser was several months ago).

 

Mozilla 1.4 user here.

 

Me = Mozilla, too. I used Opera for quite awhile, but:
1) Opera's inconsistency with cookies on sites (Yahoo, newegg, message boards).
2) Opera's inability to fix the a bug that crashed the browser seemingly at random when too many tabs were open. This is a known issue, and they still haven't fixed it in over a half dozen versions.
3) Ads are annoying.

 

I have to say that the latest version of SlimBrowser-(3.581b)- is pretty good.

I normally use MyIE2. But the new version which is 0.7.1355 Final has a bug that prevents certain windows from being opened.

So I thought I would give the latest version of SlimBrowser a shot. And, so far so good.

* I love how SlimBrowser is always being updated and improved.

* I love how SlimBrowser has tabs and a built in popup killer.

* I love how SlimBrowser is able to show website icons on the tabs and in the Favorites.

* I love how SlimBrowser has a built in search bar with a lot of search engine options to choose from.

* I love how SlimBrowser has a built in highlighter.

* I love how SlimBrowser has a lot of skins to choose from.

* The latest version of SlimBrowser seems to be very stable.

As for the bad:

* SlimBrowser doesn't have the Lock feature for tabs the way MyIE2 does.

* SlimBrowser doesn't show a percent number in the progress bar-- (located in the Status Bar)--to give you an idea as to how long it will take for the web page to finish loading.

* SlimBrowser doesn't display the buttons on some websites properly. Instead of showing website buttons as rounded and silver in color, SlimBrowser shows it as flat square buttons and tan in color.

* SlimBrowser doesn't support mouse gestures.

* SlimBrowser doesn't have the drag and drop feature for non-clickable url's like MyIE2 has.

* SlimBrowser doesn't have nearly the amount of plugins that MyIE2 has.

 

This isn't an issue anymore. Because the NEW version of SlimBrowser was released today--(version 3.59)--and it NOW shows the buttons rounded and silver.
