Gave this another try the other day and now have it as my second browser after Opera. Firefox has been totally removed from my machines, it is not a browser I want any more.
Sleipnir is fast..... very fast, and has custom settings galore.

It's the level of options/settings available that would overwhelm many users.
I couldn't view all of my bookmarks, so gave up! :red:
Sadly it's Windows only.

It takes a while to find out how to use the toolbars.
Yeah, and I'm not a fan of toolbars. I prefer less clutter. :)

Designed by nerds, for nerds.
I can't work out why they sold out and made it Windows only.
I wonder how long it will be before it catches up to the other browsers.
What's its score on the ACID3 test?

How long till it catches other browsers up............ if you mean quantity of users,it is a specialist browser and was never intended to be anything else.
Been playing with this for a couple of days and quite like it. Put a darker skin on it and like the way you can allow JavaScript on a site only basis, as you can with Chrome. The lack of individual site control of JavaScript is now becoming a real weakness in FireFox, a real security risk.
It says to download the Right version, I'm assuming there's a wrong one somewhere :out:
Well there also seems to be a Notebook version and Archive version. This would make them either the right or the wrong version depending on the installation ;D

And.....? I have tried plenty of browsers through that "test" the only one that passed 100% so far was Opera, Firefox certainly fails it well.
There are sites that don't work correctly on Firefox,IE6/7/8 and Opera, yet Sleipner renders them all for me perectly.
I ran forum software by some of those testers to check html ,xhtml and css compliance....... one test site passes them, others fail the exact same code.

QuoteCriticism
The current iteration of the test has been criticized for being a cherry-picked collection of features that are rarely used, as well as those that are still in a W3C working draft. Eric Meyer, a notable web standards advocate, writes:
"The real point here is that the Acid3 test isn't a broad-spectrum standards-support test. It's a showpiece, and something of a Potemkin village at that. Which is a shame, because what's really needed right now is exhaustive test suites for specifications– XHTML, CSS, DOM, SVG."[37]
In other words it is
totally irrelevant and should be ignored.
It's a bit chicken and egg though; one of the reasons features are rarely used is because browser support for some parts of the standards is so poor.
