Side tabs: I find the vertical thumbnails on the side make it easier to quickly switch tabs, because I can see what's on the page. OmniWeb's settings are comparatively very easy to navigate.Ģ. Also, compare the implementation of some of these advanced features to their implementation in Opera or iCab. I also use ClickToFlash, but this is a WebKit plugin, not an unsupported hack. The only hack-ish plugin I need in OmniWeb is 1Password, which is absolutely essential, not to mention well-supported, stable, and always up to date. Some of these features can be added to Safari, but then you get all the attendant annoyances of unsupported plugins.
site preferences ad blocking (I'm currently using GlimmerBlocker instead of OmniWeb's built-in blocking it's an all-in-one solution, and I don't have to make my own filters.) customizable search engines and search keyword shortcuts form editor window for text fields. In particular I like: workspaces (session saving basically, though it allows you to save multiple sessions) single-window mode fine control over cookies, pop-up windows, etc. Advanced features with minimal need for plugins: OmniWeb has several essential features lacking in Safari. If it addressed some of these things, it would blow Safari out of the water.
I think there are a couple areas OW could really improve in to bring it into line with the latest iterations of Safari and Firefox. I keep coming back to OmniWeb, especially when I get sick of dealing with unsupported Safari plugins.
