Every browser carves out its own niche. With extensive language support and the usual blend of tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, and Web searching, Slim Browser offers a certain je ne sais quoi other browsers don't. The program installs quickly and seamlessly on your desktop. This browser is aesthetically pleasing and offers a number of skins for added flair. The interface is slightly jumbled with redundant buttons, but you can add and remove items you don't plan to use. The straightforward search bar gives you one-stop access to news, stock, and weather updates, as well as image and dictionary searching. You can choose from about 20 search engines, including Google, Yahoo, and MSN--just type in a search term, hit the button, and voila. A Clean Trace feature lets you easily erase your surfing history, browser cookies, and Internet cache. The desktop shortcut bar extends Windows Explorer functionality to your browser, and international users will be impressed with Slim Browser's extensive language support. The browser can be displayed in multiple languages and gives quick English translations for foreign-language pages. The pop-up blocker gets the job done, and you can even recall blocked pop-ups if you think you've missed something important. RSS and newsgroup support round out the package. If you're looking for an Internet Explorer alternative with a foreign flair, Slim Browser is for you.

"Browsers don't get much better"
Pros: My favorite features are:
Aliases - You designate a letter or word for a URL, for instance you type g in the address bar to go to Google.
Groups - Click on a group you setup and it opens all websites you have assigned to that group. Helpful for work when I open the same 7 websites everyday when I start work.
This browser is loaded with features and it's my current favorite.
Cons: It occasionally closes with errors.
