Nope, OmniWeb always had location bar google-searching. Or at least for a long, long time. ;-) Even now, you can just "g whatever" to search for 'whatever' on Google. And you can make your own shortcuts like that. Very, very decent interface stuff. Had one or the other crash - but it's a beta after all. I'm not sure about the tab implementation just yet. I kinda like them in a horizontal bar, as screen real estate is expensive on my iBook. But I guess I'll be back at OmniWeb now for quite a while, anyway. Don't want to miss the shortcuts and other features. Ever. Again. (And cheers to site-specific prefs! Helluvafeature.)

Very nice. I'm sort of upset though when these good browsers come out, I can't make-up my mind which to use except with IE of course –*I don't use it. Anyway, anyone know the keyboard shortcut for switching between tabs? cheers eric

Strange that Safari 1.2 came out one day after OmniWeb 5.0 beta. OmniWeb interface is more innovative, even more "Mac" oriented. But Safari 1.2 is STABLE. I'll keep both in my dock (beside Mozilla 1.6b, Firebird 0.7, Camino and Explorer)

OmniWeb 5 crashes constantly, it's slower than Safari, it hangs on relatively simple pages, it still uses the Aqua interface which, I think, is harder on the eyes than brushed metal, and it's not free. The tabs with preview are nice, but until OmniGroup makes huge improvements to the program's stability and speed, Safari is far better, and you can't beat the price =)

tabs in a drawer? Oh dear - the whole drawer concept is a crappy idea, as it is not actually part of the window. It essentially breaks the window zoom feature, because the window resizes as if the drawer isn't there. I haven't seen a single app where a hideable sidebar contained in the window wouldn't have been better. Omnigroup needs to do some thinking...
