SlimBrowser

SlimBrowser is a web browser for the Windows Operating System that offers a fast browsing experience and blocks ads on websites you visit. It is developed by FlashPeak Inc., is free to use and is built on the Gecko engine, the same engine that powers Firefox.

Features:

• SlimBrowser comes with a multi-threaded download manager that opens many connections to the server to download one file. According to the developer, this can boost download speed by up to 12 times. You also get a central location to keep track of all your downloads and resume the broken or paused ones.
• You can easily share a web page, an image on it or a selected piece of text on Facebook with a single click.
• Photo uploading can be up to 20 times faster, as the browser automatically shrinks photos to a web-optimized resolution right before upload. It also offers many options to add frames to the photos before uploading them.
• The built-in download manager lets you download YouTube videos quickly. You can pick from the available formats such as MP4, WebM and FLV, and convert the downloaded video into an MP3 audio file for listening while travelling.
• You can translate a complete web page or a selected piece of text between any two languages. You don't have to leave the page to do this.
• The built-in ad blocker removes distracting ads on many websites and saves the bandwidth and memory they would consume.
• SlimBrowser also shows the current weather conditions and a 5-day forecast (plus an hourly forecast in version 18) right in the browser window. You don't need to visit any other website to do this.
• Long web addresses are easy to forget. With SlimBrowser you can set up short aliases for frequently visited websites and quickly type the alias to open them.
• You can take a screenshot of the entire web page, including the part you have to scroll to, or of a selected area of the page.

It blocks ads and speeds up file and video downloads while adding translation, weather, form filling and screenshots without plugins.
