SlimBrowser
Web browser from FlashPeak
SlimBrowser is a tabbed multiple-site web browser from FlashPeak, Inc., an Austin, Texas-based company.
It formerly used the Microsoft Trident layout engine. It incorporates a large collection of features like built-in popup killer, skinned window frame, form filler, site group, quick-search, auto login, hidden sites, built-in commands and scripting, online translation, script error suppression, blacklist/whitelist filtering, and URL Alias.
SlimBrowser was one of the twelve browser choices offered to European Economic Area users of Microsoft Windows in 2010.
Since V6.0, SlimBrowser has adopted a multi-process architecture to improve stability and eliminate performance restrictions associated with traditional single-process browsers. SlimBrowser included a full-featured form filler with the support of multiple identities in V6.01.
After development had been paused, it started again in 2019, switching to Gecko engine, counting versions from V10.0.
