    It's because of the excellence of this program that I don't use Firefox. It's extremely fast and very customizible. I'd recommend this to anyone who uses IE 7 as their default browser.

    I wouldn't use IE/Trident engine at all if this program was not available. It has built-in ad blocking, but I'm hoping SB will ad a subscription option to EASYLIST [adblocker] to really enhance this browser.

    Mouse gestures; is not as important to me as others. I love this front-end. The aliases and the autologin features are the most valuable to me.

    Can't recommend it. A plus is the fact that it works with WebEx Meetings (Avant, Maxthon do not). However, the dealbreaker is the missing mouse gestures. If I can't draw an "L" on the screen while holding down the right mousebutton and expect the current window/tab to close, I can't use the program - period. If you don't rely on mouse gestures, though, this might be the shell for you. For me, though, it's back to Greenbrowser. Oh, and to the guy flagellating himself madly about Firefox - try searching your HD for a file called urlclassifier3.sqlite and see if FF has dropped a 50Mb+ piece of crap on your system like it has for most other people..

    This version worked fine on my retro Win98SE system, but the reason why I am not rating it higher than a 3 is due to the shell not working properly with my Password Agent password manager. When I tried to Autofill the username/password, it would automatically open either the Favorites menu or Help menu, which is very strange behavior!

    Other than that, it's really not that bad of an IE substitute. Certainly has MUCH more merit than Maxthon, which so many people love on this forum, but I'm not one of them! Maxthon is buggy and does not deserve the high marks that it receives.

    I actually use Slim Browser fairly regularly, but it still needs a bit of work, for instance:

    not able to set default search engine, not able to use Google Toolbar....

    It does have some almost-compensating features not found in other browsers though...for one, how Favorites display on multiple-screen setups...
