Sleipnir (web browser)

Sleipnir is a tabbed web browser developed by Fenrir Inc. The browser's main features are customization and tab functions. It supports HTML5 and multiple layout engines.

The names Sleipnir and Fenrir are both names of animals from Norse mythology.

Sleipnir was originally created in Japanese and then released with English and Chinese translations. Further translations are performed by volunteer translators.

It is available for iOS, macOS, Microsoft Windows, Android, and Windows Phone.

Sleipnir was originally developed by Yasuyuki Kashiwagi. In November 2004, the computer containing Sleipnir's source code was stolen. In 2005, Kashiwagi established Fenrir & Co. to start development of a new version of Sleipnir. Starting with version 2, the new versions are not compatible with the original.[citation needed]

As of 2006 Sleipnir had 6% market share in Japan.

Sleipnir was one of twelve browsers originally offered in a browser ballot screen on the EU edition of Windows 7 (and XP and Vista with an update), so users could choose between Internet Explorer and other browsers during the installation process.

The stable version 5.0 was released on December 24, 2013 with the latest Blink engine.
