Mrs. Mecomber's Scrapbook

I tried SlimBrowser after reading another blogger’s success with it. The download went quick and easy, and the importation of bookmarks was much easier than what I’ve experienced with Opera and Internet Explorer. Still, the browser is an Internet Explorer skin. The tabs (a good feature) were a little clunky. I was too impatient to try to learn all its idiosyncracies. It felt a little foreign (a lot like how I felt when I first switched to FF from IE, actually). I knew that if I used it every day I’d get used to it soon enough, but I am not displeased with FF to dump it just yet.

If Firefox wasn’t so good, I just might have stuck with SlimBrowser. I intend to keep it handy for times when Firefox gets too big for its britches (FF does crash and does make my laptop processor work hard when I run videos). It’s a better browser then Internet Explorer, overall.

If you use IE and are sick of it, and don’t want to switch to FF, SlimBrowser is a good alternative.
