    Don't forget OmniWeb's use of MacOS X's spell checker. Very useful in forums like /., Fark.com, the MacGamer.com forums.
    That's one of the many reasons why Cocoa based browsers will be more well liked than Carbon based ones... They get the added support of all sorts of system wide services (like spell checking, for instance).

    (Chimera and OmniWeb seem to be the main contenders for Cocoa Web Browsers at this point...)
