I am a huge OmniWeb fan. I have paid for and use OW5 as my main
browser. There are 4 key reasons for the love:
1) The tabbed browsing is implemented using a drawer with mini-rendered
versions of each web page currently open. For my brain, this makes
using tabs much more intuitive. It does utilise a little additional
screen real-estate, but I have a TiBook, and OmniWeb seems the perfect
tool to actually use the widescreen the way it was meant to be used :)
2) WorkSpaces - you can set up several browsing sets and flick between
them easily. For example, you can have a set for shopping at all your
favourite online stores with, for example, 10 tabs all pointing to the
relevant pages. You can have another for sports, one for Mac related,
etc. I love this feature, and the ease of use of it.
3) Preferences - I can set font and so on very simply on a page or site
basis. I can also tell OW to act as another browser for a specific site
so that I can use my online banking etc. I know other browsers allow
you to do this too, but OW's implementation is the best I have seen.
4) Everything Omni produces is wonderful, and paying for their
applications actually gives me a warm little glow inside as I know that
I am helping out one of the last remaining small, innovative Mac
software providers. Their apps just look stunning - exactly as an OSX
app should.
Heck, too much loving going on!
