Version: Sleipnir 2.8.3
"The nicest looking browser"
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.
