Promising but currently not ready

A few things about Slepinir. 1) The AppStore version is missing quite a lot of features from the (also free) direct download version. None of those are really deal breakers, though I did find the AppStore version to be a little less stable too. 2) Slepinir did away with extension support in version 2. Unfortunately that means there is no way to do ad blocking in Slepinir 4. I feel this is really a deal breaker for any browser today. This should be supported natively or through some sort of extension framework. Support for other privacy features (beyond those built into webkit like do-not-track and 1st/3rd party cookies) would make this a fantastic browser.

Beyond that, its a very fast WebKit based browser. The UI is pretty and the gestures are smart (though I had to change the two finger side to side back to next/prev page instead of next/prev tab). Definitely has promise but the feature set lags Safari (which is just as fast albeit not as pretty) and the other mainstream browsers.

I’d definitely use it as my browser if it had some way to do ad blocking.
