Sorry!<br><br>Good list, Giz. At least there are work-arounds for #1 and #4. Saft will do both of those, but it does cost a couple bucks.<br><br>I've written here before that I think Firefox is a superior browser... but I just can't give up Safari. I don't know exactly what it is, but it feels better. Damn Safari, I wish I could quit you!<br><br>It has some nice features too. I suspect this has now made it into Firefox 3, but I can't live without the ability to click and expand text fields (like this one).<br><br>

I'm with you on Safari. It has the best "Mac" feel. The newest Firefox beta is great though I admit. I use Saft on my notebook mainly for the full screen option and exporting single page PDFs. My desktops have big enough displays where I don't really need Saft. You can't get instant word definitions on Firefox either. Apple's browser is good. <br><br>

Is it time I considered giving Safari another look? I've been pleased with FF for quite a while now.<br><br>Edit: Reading through the thread, I think I'll stay with FF as my primary browser.<br><br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by MacBozo on 03/19/08 08:50 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I can't live without the ability to click and expand text fields (like this one).<p><hr></blockquote><p>Yeah, they've had an extension for Firefox to do that for many years. I actually like OmniWeb's method of just opening an "attached" mini editing window - but just resizing the built-in text input fields is good enough. Glad to see Safari get the feature.<br><br>As far as the tab features, I have used Saft in the past and still had the tab problem.<br><br>

<br>I have tried each new version of Safari, and none has made me want to give up on OmniWeb. :(<br><br>Somehow, OW's page rendering seems smoother, that tab side panel is just wonderful (I actually use it all the time, while I never quite liked the somewhat colourless tabs on top), and being able, to assign each frequently viewed page its own formatting - especially font size - is sheer genius, especially for someone, whose eye-sight isn't all that great any more.<br><br>I use FireFox for banking, and OW for everything else. Only shame is that I haven't found a means of exporting my bookmarks from OW, or, I simply don't know where the program is hiding them.<br><br><br><br><br>

Eck,<br><br>OmniWeb's bookmarks are store in your User/Library/Application Support/OmniWeb 5 folder, and the file name is bookmarks.html.<br><br>You can backup that file for safe keeping, as well as the "workspaces, cookies and history" folders. <br><br>You can use that same bookmarks file in Firefox if you choose.<br><br><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheGraphicMac/~6/1">[img]http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheGraphicMac.1.gif" alt="The Graphic Mac: OSX & design community" style="border:0[/img]</a><br><br>
