FWIW, I've got OmniWeb, and I use it occasionally. I particularly like the way it's super-fast compared to the rest, /especially/ Firefox... 10.6.3, 3.06GHz C2D iMac, OmniWeb 5.10.1 I use Firefox rather more because I've added controls on JS, Flash, adverts, and cross-site requests which I feel are necessary from the point of view of security and surfing pleasure. I can't block out adverts very well, especially those with movement. If I can't block the adverts with the machinery, I'll often avoid the Website entirely.
