I'll second that. It would be great to have that functionality added.

Web pages I'm having difficulty with; can anybody get to this running 
OmniWeb 4cf3? I can't get in at all, but IE5 preview opens it fine. 
Running over Airport, with my ISP running transparent proxies:

Mouseover the products works fine, but you can't select specific items 
from the tree that appears. The knowledgebase doesn't work great either.

Also, web pages that specifically check for IE/Netscape. Is there any 
chance that we'll be able to spoof and fool these pages, or will we 
always need to keep a copy of IE handy?

Quicktime movies off the Apple trailers page - I would love to be able 
to save some of those movies in cache files that are viewable, so I can 
copy them (and keep them).

Finally, I'm suffering from the "need secure access behind a firewall 
problem" that was recently mentioned.

That's all for now. :)

Don't get me wrong - despite it's (few) faults, I really love this 
browser.
