Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, SlimBoat is an open-source, multi-platform internet browser developed in Qt. Also, it comes with an integrated download manager, a tool for managing bookmarks and a translator feature. The latest version available is SlimBoat 1.1.50, which has been released a while ago, coming with bug-fixes only.
