Hipster browsers

[Corile]

Just a quick question that I was wondering about. Currently most of the marketshare in terms of browsers is attributed to Chrome, Firefox, Safari, (like it or not) Internet Exploder, and to a lesser extent Opera. There's a lot of great other browsers though. I have personally tested four and you can see the results below.

Comodo Dragon and Comodo IceDragon - These are pretty much exactly the same as Chrome and Firefox, respectively. Dragon is done on Chromium, IceDragon is done on Gecko. I like their design more and also they have a very useful feature that allows you to take an image or highlight a bit of text and then drag it to the side of the window for either sharing on social networks or searching (on Google, Wikipedia etc.). Besides, with Comodo being pretty much an internet security company, these also have a few security tweaks. Also IceDragon keeps the tabs square. Would reccommend to everyone who doesn't like radical changes.

Maxthon - My least favourite of the group. It's very lightweight and looks very nicely, true, but it also lacks a lot of extensions since it's not built on any of the preexisting engines. If you like to have your browser run smoothly, take Maxthon, the problem is what it will compensate in its speed will lose with the lack of adblock.

Sleipnir - I'm using this one currently. They put a lot, and I mean A LOT work into designing this, making sure it looks perfect and has a very quick workflow. It has one feature that I liked from newer Internet Explorer versions - grouping tabs by relation and many other nice features. I believe it's built on its own engine, but it has Chromium support which means you can easily install extensions meant for Chrome. It also has built-in font antialiasing which is something everyone loves from Linux and Mac browsers (despite the fact that Mac users are peasants).

This is the difference between fonts in Sleipnir and IceDragon: http://prntscr.com/4a9n0i

tl;dr: Do you use any of the non-mainstream browsers? If yes, why? If no, why?

Let's be real, this thread WILL cause a flamewar.
