Description
Sleipnir
is an interesting take on the standard web browser. It has been designed to
surf the web with numerous tabs open simultaneously, rather than having to
navigate forwards and backwards in a single, combined view.
Sleipnir
has removed the the URL bar that is normally located in a browser’s main
interface. There is, however, a small search box on the right-hand side of the
tiny slim controls, that sits upon the main window. The design idea is very
simple really; you are either navigating to already bookmarked websites, or
you’re navigating via searches.
Key
Features include:
- WebKit
base.
- Support
for HD Retina* displays.
- Additional
search services support.
- WebKit
and OS X security.
- Sync
bookmarks with iOS devices.
In
order to navigate the web, Sleipnir displays a horizontally scrolling selection
of thumbnail tabs. By rolling over each tab with your cursor, you are shown the
tab’s name and the option to close it. You can also drag tabs on one another,
in order to group them together.
For
web searching, as soon as you type in a subject, you are given results from the
search engine of your choice (configurable in Preferences). By hitting tab, you
can look up that same term on Amazon, eBay, Wikipedia, or any site you wish.
Sleipnir
does have a few nice features tucked away, such as gesture support for tabs; to
close a tab simply use an L-shaped swipe, to reopen a closed tab, use a
square-esq shaped U, or you can reload a page by drawing a circle. These do
require some more work, but in testing seemed to function fairly well.
Overall,Sleipnir
is a refreshing change to the standard web browser that we are normally
presented with. The search facility is really fast and the user interface is
really well presented and is not hard to navigate, it just takes a little time
to get used to. Where the browser does suffer slightly is with performance. In
testing it was found lacking in a speed and some pages did not respond as they
should. Also, if you are trying any processor intensive tasks, then Sleipnir
for Mac may struggle.
*For
Retina display supported Mac computers.
