Has anyone use Sleipnir. It is a browser used in Japan that uses trident rendering engine.

But it can also switch to gecko. Is it fast? Has anyone used and tested it. I would like you comments. Thanks.

Hey silentcon!!

Yes, I have but it needs more work.

PLZ read my review of Sleipnir Browser , along with a few others.

If you have any other questions I'll be happy to try and help you out.

I see so Sleipnir is a capable and a fast browser. My question, is it faster than firefox,opera,safari or any browser? I need comparisons with the speed so i can know if sleipnir is faster than IE.

Hey silentcon!!

Yes, absolutely. This thing is lightning fast, and very stable but, as I mentioned in my review it still

needs some work. I am , once again, trying out Opera which ,in my opinion, is the fastest of the ones

you have mentioned but, again, is still a bit quirky. You will need to learn how to use and configure it

as not all of the niceties we know and love in Firefox are there by default. An example would be

a spell checker or a adblocker. Also , when trying to upload a screen shot in this forum, there is

a way to do it but, you have to know how which is what I am trying to learn this time around.

The browser itself is very stable and does have nice features and is probably safer because not

to many people are using it on a regular basis. So, the nastie makers have little interest in it.

PLZ if you use IE , do yourself a favor and use another one. Be it Firefox or Opera and get rid of those

Active X controls which are the main focus of hackers.

Re: Has anyone use Sleipnir. It is a browser used in Japan that uses trident rendering engine.

It is alright. I'm currently using firefox because it has plug-ins,fast,and more secure.

I tried using opera 9.5. I was happy with the results. It was fast but not on par with firefox. So I used firefox then opera then back to firefox. Opera loaded pages fast but it sometimes not show websites properly. Opera is complete (but i do not really know why the opera widgits are all useless except to some few widgets for web developers)

I already used k-meleon, maxthon 2,opera,safari (windows),firefox,ie. If i would rank then it will be.....

1. Mozilla Firefox (favorite)

2. K-meleon (it loads pages fast and is lightweight)

3. Safari (even the windows version of safari is crap, it shows pages fast. I used the lifehacker's modified stopwatch timer and safari timed the fastest. But really not costumizable. I like the feel and look. It's design is simple but compact so you can view pages. Safari is fast but I still use firefox because of security and functions.)

4.Opera (I love opera. It is fast and loads fast. It is complete. But really not too friendly on websites But hey c'mon its not their fault or their Presto engine)

5.Maxthon (Really slow. But better than IE)

6. - ....... Reserved for other browsers

Last

Internet Explorer (Really, really crap. Slow and very very unsafe to use.)

But really if you look at the www.archive.org and look for CNET. You will see pictures and reviews of IE as the best fastest browser.There is even the animation. IS INTERNET EXPLORER BETTER?

YOU BET!

Really really ................. Never Mind.

Thanks for your help.

Hey silentcon!!

You seem to enjoy reviewing programs. If you have the time you should Document

your findings in the form of a document on this forum. The information you provide

would help other members and most likely answer some of their questions.

just a thought!

There is one that you did not mention , whether you did not try it or did not deem it

worthy of mention .

That would be the Flock Social Browser . It is a fun browser and is

based on the Firefox rendering engine. It is very stable, as expected, and has direct links to all

of those Social web sites. If you haven't tried it yet , give it a shot. Who knows you might just

enjoy this one.

Re: Has anyone use Sleipnir. It is a browser used in Japan that uses trident rendering engine.

for the document part well i can't as i'm not a tech guy. I love tech and enjoy reading updates.And i don't have time to do that really.and besides you can read better reviews from better tech nerds.

for the flock,i'm not really a social kind of guy. I hate them because it wastes my time.No offense.
