To be honest: is not so easy to surprise me. It would seem that there are many applications to suit all tastes and offer something new is already difficult enough. And even more so in the browser category. Nevertheless, the new products appear even among them. Perhaps they are not very popular, but do not talk about them would be wrong. Meet: Sleipnir Browser - a native of the country of the rising sun.
In fact, the application is not new, but on the RuNet open spaces I have not found anything interesting about it. Well, then, it's time to introduce you to this application.
Let's start with the main thing - speed. Not to say that the process of loading pages instantly, but the discovery is quite rapid. For example, somewhere between Safari and Google Chrome. Let's be frank: the last - not the fastest browser.
The process works in Sleipnir is a little different from the usual browser usage. Located on top of the square thumbnails of open sites - they tabs. Slightly to the left is an icon, which opens the work area with all the tabs. What it seemed comfortable - a grouping of tabs. If you go to macradar.ru and open the link in a new tab, it will be seen visually that the tabs are interconnected, as will be closer to each other.
Another nice feature - the use of gestures. If you are working on a laptop with a touchpad, you must like it, though at first seem uncomfortable. For example, the gesture of two fingers left or right does not turn the pages back and forth, and switch between open tabs. But, if desired, in the settings, it can be corrected. Additional gestures let you perform other actions on the tabs: to close the current, reboot one or all, and so on. Gestures a bit, but each in its own way is convenient. To develop their full use, still need a little practice.
Another interesting feature - a grouping of sites. If you open a workspace with all of the tabs, you can see that at the bottom, underneath, there are six cells. Switching between them, you can open sites, grouping them. For example, the first cell will open the sites associated with the work, the second - the social network, in the third - news portals and so on. It's really good, you can always focus on one thing instead of searching in dozens of bookmarks for a site.
In addition to the version for OS X, and is being developed for the operating system from Microsoft, as well as mobile platforms: iOS, Android and even Windows Phone. Naturally, synchronization is maintained between the devices, but it is perhaps no one is surprised.
Now for the unpleasant moments. First, the browser does not support extensions. Generally. It would not be a big problem if it were not popular AdBlock, copes with the removal of advertising on the sites. Secondly, localization programs: a browser even supports the Russian language, but not all translated. And that is translated is not always correct.
If you look in general, the browser is quite good. There are interesting opportunities and solutions that are not competitors, but there is one of the most important - plugins. This may scare many. Nevertheless, I advise to try and self assess its functionality, especially since Sleipnir Browser is absolutely free.
