Web Browsers

With the recent release of Omniweb 5 and Netscape 7.2, heres my thoughts…

OmniWeb 5 – Looks nice and funky, has some good features, BUT lags like an ant walking through honey on my 12inch powerbook. Example – i was downloading the new netscape in the background through safari, and Omniweb was extremely slow at responding to my mouse clicks. When i tried the same page in safari it worked ok. SO either OmniWeb is slow, or safari is hogging the CPU

Netscape – Looks very firefox (duh!), and is actually pretty damn fast! Ive got to use it a bit more over the next few days before i make a final decision.

Firefox – My default browser on my PeeCee, not on OS X though. Its jsut not as fast and responsive on my Mac as it is on me PeeCee, i dont know why.

Safari – My default on OS X, its fast, its responsive, it does what i want.

Ill continuet o try them all out in the coming weeks. At this stage it stands like this:

1 – Safari
2 – Firefox (cause ive used it more the netscape currently)
3 – Netscape 7.2
4 – OmniWeb 5 (looks great like all omni apps – but needs fixing up)

They do look pretty sitting in my dock though
