I've been searching for the perfect OSX web browser for almost a year now. to say Omniweb is the perfect browser and my search is over would be an overstatement but for now its pretty darn good.

for anyone new to privoxy be prepared to scratch your head for a good hour or two until you get the hang of everything. but after using it for 2 weeks now I've got a great rule set, and omniweb just hauls.

the workspace feature is a really neat idea and while I'm still getting use to it, its pretty cool. I keep all my fantasy football in one workspace, forums in another, and news in one more.

I was not to keen on the way tab's work at first but after getting used to having them on the right side and using the hot-keys to switch between them its actually pretty neat to see a preview.

another thing I enjoy it does not crash nearly as much as firefox 2 or camino. myspace will still give it fits but that POS will give any browser trouble.

but I think the one thing I like about Omniweb the most is the fact it looks / feels like a browser made for OSX.

I'd like to add that after some searching I managed to get rid of those awful looking purple favicons and found a sweet skin on google!

so for now omniweb is getting all the love but who knows next week I could be right back with camino hehe :)
