The GBrowser is a lightweight file browser, image viewer and terminal emulator written in C++ using GTK. The GBrowser does not require Gnome, KDE, XFCE or any other desktop or their libraries.

That makes it perfect for light desktop users. The GBrowser is very small. Since it's compiled into a tiny binary and doesn't rely on bulky desktop dependent libraries, the GBrowser is perfect for older machines.

There is also a more than useful feature set, but without adding bloat to the code. Get the job of file management done without worring about stuff you use other apps for anyway, like: Samba, FTP or CD Burning.

Here are some key features of "GBrowser":
