(How ironic that Omniweb crashed on me while trying to post this– posting this from Mozilla now) I want to believe. Really, I do. I've downloaded and tried OmniWeb three times now. But there are several interface quirks that make me dump it after a few weeks and choose Mozilla. Things like no History menu (and no way to view history in a flat-file style like the old days). Drawers with a bunch of turn down folders doesn't help me when I want to go back to a page I was just at 5 pages ago. It takes longer, and that's not efficient to me. Not everything in a browser needs database level organization. Things like still having to bookmark something and then go file it away. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Mozilla, they've got the "bookmark and file it as you go" down pat. I really like OmniWeb, but the few things that make it harder for me to surf make me ultimately choose Mozilla. I would pay for a browser, especially one designed for Mac OS X, but before Omni gets my money, the interface will need more customization options to suit my tastes.
