"Adware and Intrusive"
Version: Sleipnir 3.8.4
Pros
None, very intrusive.
Cons
Exactly like IE8 with adware.
-
"Cool Looking Web Browser"
Version: Sleipnir 3.5.2
Pros
Colorful Web Browser easy to use and easy to log onto, Web Browser is stylish, modern and fast
Cons
None so far the only con is where is the home button. Overall a cool neat web browser that is easy to use. Better then Google Chrome and a great addition to Mozilla Firefox and IE 8 ( Internet Explorer 8 )
A great Web Browser for older computers and it easier to use then Google Chrome. -

"Unacceptable. I.E. speed, can't open PDF files."
Version: Sleipnir 3.0.15
Pros
None worth mentioning.
Cons
All other browsers on my machine can open PDF files, this crud can not.
Summary
Forget about it.

"A good, pleasing experience."
Version: Sleipnir 3.0.14
Pros
Fast, attractive, and quirky.
Cons
The home button is not programmable.
-
"Great look, great feel, and pleasing to use"
Version: Sleipnir 3.0.10
Pros
Great look and feel from this version (3.0.10). It reminds me of a very nice suped up IE 7/8 with a much better look and response (in other words IE 9 with an IE 7 toolbar setup but somehow a lot funner to surf with than IE ever was).
Cons
None that I notice after 2 days use.
Summary
I kind of liked the earlier version of Sleipnir but this newest version is perfect in my opinion. I was switching back and forth from browser to browser not finding one that I really loved using until I noticed this new version of Sleipnir. I highly recommend this browser if you are looking for something good to replace the overhyped popular ones.

"feels and looks like IE"
Version: Sleipnir 2.9.7
Pros
Though it feels and looks like IE it has a few extra options Such as script and groupd added to the menu bar. Some of the norfmal menu Items have a few more than IE.
Cons
None I know of.....
Summary
Though I have not OFFICIALLY tested this browser, it too me is to much like IE. Give it a shot at least maybe you will like it and then maybe you wont. I scan all programs to makes they are not as cnet claims, infected. I do a little more than relying on just one product for security. Also use 3 different OS ( xp/vist/7 ) to see how well they work on those more popular OS by windows at the moment.
Updated : upon noticing I neglect to mention I test certain software, If there is a general question on a product for a product I am not affiliated in anyway with CNET or the products they supply. I will let you know if when they call something "free" that it really isn't and that its free trial or download that the program itself to use functions are only for paid or have to pay for full functions. Feel free to email me upon a product I have review: mhs99328@yahoo.com

If there is a product simular you want tested before you download that I have reviewed, you can be assured that at thae time of reviewing there was no problem. Some of the outdated program versions no longer are accepted by Windows running vista or 7.Such of these programs are browsers or customizations. Some Xp base programs run without problem or having to use compatibility mode. I will let you know if you would like. -
"Too unpredictable, Wants to take over as only browser."
Version: Sleipnir 2.9.3
Pros
Not much. I thought I'd try a non-mainstream browser
Cons
Too unpredictable, Wants to take over as only browser. Not enough help
Summary
Not enough advantage over Seamonkey or Firefox.

"The nicest looking browser"
Version: Sleipnir 2.8.3
Pros
It has a really nice look. Has all the good things about it like being able to go to the very top of page or very bottom of page instantly with mouse gesture and being able to tab down autocomplete url when typing in address bar etc.
Cons
Not the fastest but has so many positive features that you can customize that I think having internet explorer speed can be forgiven (at least it is with me).
Summary
Makes a nice default browser. One thing I don't like about some browsers when using the middle mouse click on a link to open in a new tab, the tab is opened in the background - some browsers have options to change this (sleipnir is one), but some don't allow you to change this. Another thing I don't like about some browsers when trying to tab down autocomplete url lists on address bar some don't allow you to tab - you have to move your hand off the keyboard and use the down arrow or the mouse, but sleipnir lets you use the tab. Another thing I don't like about some browsers when you download something, the download info stays on the screen and doesn't clear and you have to move the mouse around clicking on box x's to get rid of download boxes, but sleipnir allows you to autoclear download info after downloading. Also regarding downloading, some browsers don't give you the option on download to run or save - they just give you a save option, but sleipnir gives you the run or save option. It also has the best look and the best looking skins of any browser I've seen to date. True typists and serious surfers will like how you can customize it to handle while surfing - people who want the sharpest looking browser will like how it looks.
