I don't quite understand why OmniWeb 4.1.1 hasn't entered this conversation yet. Sure, it doesn't use Gecko for rendering, but its renderer is just as pretty, if not more so.

I had Chimera and Mozilla 1.0/1.1 installed for a while, trying to figure out which was best. I quickly discovered that MTBF in Chimera was about 5 minutes and that would simply not do. It got trashed.

Mozilla 1.0 was pretty, but awfully slow - what kind of browser feels boggy on a brand-new dual 1GHz Mac box? 1.1 was prettier, and pre-loading all the favorite websites in tabbed browsing is fun, but the prefs stymied me. Those horrible, kludgy, slow-to-open prefs.

Do try OmniWeb, mister rands. It's what all my friends who work at Apple are using, because it's developed by their old NeXTie friends. And she give you the, how you say, the reach-around.
