    Why would I want to pay someone $29.95

    There were three main reasons for me.

    1) Cookie control. "Take the cookie and toss it when I quit the app" is a great thing.

    2) Killing banner ads.

    3) Showing me when pages have changed. Big time-saver for me.

    YMMV, but for my money, OmniWeb would be worth $50, easy.
