    In MSIE 5.1.x, command-shift-click does exactly the same thing. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to make that the default behavior.

    In the Mozilla family, I find tabbed browsing thoroughly superior to multiple windows.

    If Chimera continues to progress, it should surpass Omniweb in all respects some time this year. I'll probably switch from Mozilla to Chimera around 0.6

    Don't forget OmniWeb's use of MacOS X's spell checker. Very useful in forums like /., Fark.com, the MacGamer.com forums.

    I've been testing on Mozilla RC3 lately, and it's a lot faster than OmniWeb, but there's no spell checking, no anti-aliased text, and a generally more cluttered interface. Also, it imported my bookmarks from IE, which I rarely use.

    I thought it was a NeXT port.

    Yes, I’m a paying customer!
