about SlimBoat and Mozilla Firefox, Midori, Opera · Aug 2013 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

I was very tempted to try this browser, I do think it is fast! but I do not like that it comes with a bunch of other useless stuff. you will have to make sure after installation that you configure to your liking, look at every single one. I don think this will be my main browser but it is worth trying, Id say Midori if it was stable is better.
