From Computer World:
A Japanese software company is stepping up international promotion of its Web browser in the hope of carving out a 5% share over the next few years of a market dominated by Internet Explorer and Firefox.
The Sleipnir browser is well-known among Japanese technophiles, many of whom value the high level of customization that the browser allows. At the center of this customization is the ability to select either the Trident or Gecko layout engines for each Web site visited.
Trident was developed by Microsoft Corp. and is used in Internet Explorer while Gecko is used in Mozilla’s Firefox.
And, of course, Sleipnir also excels at Engrish by saying, ” Web Browser specializes in customization (For Advanced User) Improved further stability and speed of performance tuning.”
It is, according to their website, the number 1 browser in Japan. Anyone using Sleipnir?
