Totally agree with you here Bob,
My favourite browser is Flock (similar to FF) with all the security add-ons for FF also on Flock.
The sleipnir was just for fun and evaluation, by the way my wife likes it. But I stick with the Mozilla browser.
As long as sleipnir has no means to deny Javascript etc. on the fly, no Stealther add-on, SiteAdvisor, Netcraft toolbar, Cookie Editor, Whats my IP, DrWeb's hyperlink av-scanner extension, I will not use it as my default browser. Maybe the Japanese are not that security prone, a shame really, else this could be the alternative for IE7. Ergo conclusio - the ideal browser has not been invented yet, as there is no ideal world, we like to strife for eutopia and have to live in dystopia,
