Well, I decided to give the OW 5.0 Beta a try after all. Not bad really. Although as I am typing this text in the box, I can't see the text for the first few lines, now it suddenly shows up. All I saw was a tiny little cursor insertion point moving across the box here at first. Weird. OK, so I have to say on my dual 867 G4 it is pretty comparable in speed (now all the text I just typed suddenly showed up, that is really bizarre) to the other browsers I use, Firebird and Safari. I don't like how it does tabs though, give me tabs, not these stupid drawers on the side. Maybe you can make that behave differently, will have to check that out. So far it is stable for me. I like the appearance of it, not bad at all. I'll keep it around a while and see how it goes. Would I pay for it though when there are plenty of good free browsers around? Not likely. I guess it will probably be like previous versions, you can just continue to use it unregistered and it will show the unregistered thing now and then, well one could live with that if that is how it works. <br><br>
I'm actually getting used to the tabs now too. Having a preview of the tab is quite helpful, IMO. And Workspaces is fantastic. But the best feature by far is the ability to set preferences (like font size, etc...) on a site-by-site basis.<br><br>What?<br>Visit My Web Site!

The one big bug I am seeing is typing into a web form like the box where you post a reply here. Strange behavior. You'd think they would have done some QA on that. I had one crash a while ago with it. So not as stable as what I am used to with Safari and Firebird. Still, it does have some good points for sure. <br><br>
