Silicone Wiper blades. Any good?

I am seeing silicone wiper blades on google searches.

Are they any better than regular wiper blades? Some on ebay come in colors.
Does anyone have any first hand experience?

Thanks in advance.

My wipers have silicone blades. They only cost about $8 each at Wal Mart, and I've had the same ones on my car for over a year with no problems at all. My last car had them on for about two yeras with no problems. Get them now!

Silicone would be my choice. But maybe today the booted winter wipers are going back on.

The first snowstorm I drove in (last week) the wipers iced up and it was so hard to see. I got out and scraped them, but shortly after they iced again. Would silicone blades help with this?
