![]() The browser seems to meld UI elements from numerous other web browsers, past and present, to create something totally unique. ![]() Sending articles to mobile appears an interesting function as well, though could be seen by some as bloat.įor all the radical UI changes and new features Sleipnir offers, it does feel familiar at least. Based on the functionality located under the ‘share’ button, Fenrir Pass also supports storage of articles for later reading, similarly to the ‘Stash’ function added to the latest versions of Opera and Instapaper. Passwords and other information can be backed up to the cloud via Fenrir Pass, which does more than just store passwords. Sleipnir goes further than Safari ever did, though.

Whether this looks better or not is highly subjective: while many people do prefer the font rendering of OS X, many also find Windows easier to read. The Fenrir website mentions font rendering several times with a focus on emulating the design of OS X instead of Microsoft’s own ClearType rendering method.
