[to] safari?

[Christian Roth]

I gave Safari a short test drive today out of curiosity, and I was -
contrary to many others, obviously - not even slightly impressed. Why? On
my machine, OmniWeb has been faster in dl'ing and displaying the complete
page on all pages I tried, on some even by estimated 20-30%. And we all
know that OmniWeb is not known to be the fastest browser on earth. Also,
Safari had display problems on some pages I visited which OmniWeb has
not, again though OW is not considered the most conforming browser on
earth, either.

Test page: 
  <http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/>, a very complex page.
Try viewing it in a very small window.

Testing on G4/Dual 800, 512MB RAM, Radeon 8500, DSL.

Considering all the very nice features I use in everyday browsing like
shortcuts (above all), HTML viewer, customizable toolbar, considerably
better download manager and the error log, OW still remains by far my
favorite browser. Of course, it has its quirks and issues sometimes, but
this is why I am...

looking forward to OW 5,
Christian
