This one is stable enough to begin a true torture test. Been using it constantly an haven't seen the unstable behavior of the first beta. I've found that un-checking the begin rendering before full page download can dramatically improve speed on certain kinds of sites (forum type sites in particular).
Omniweb offers some killer features and right now they slightly outweigh the hit in speed. It's not as bad as IE but not the fastest browser on the block. What does have are features an a level of cocoa integration not found in any browser including safari. The spellchecking in form fields, the way tabs are handled, workspaces, site specific prefs (only icab has this - called filters), and a nice code viewer/editor make this well worth the price.
Like their other products, the omni group has a unique approach to software. I am eagerly anticipating what they will do next on this application.

Spell Check in Safari - ralphintosh
The spellchecking in form fieldsFWIW, spellchecking exists in Safari -- when you are in a dialog box (such as the one I'm typing in now) go to Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling as you Type and you'll see the red squiggles appear when you mistype.
