1. I love this browser more than any other |
|
I'm using the latest sneaky peek and it is super fast. I bought it a few years ago and always loved it. I'm glad they are still moving forward even if it's free now.

things I need to try first.
Just found Page Info. You can use that to download youtube videos in much the same way as using the Activity window in Safari. It seems to work better if you start the download after the video loads, but before the video ends. Otherwise you have to be real quick in selecting the video before the window scrolls to the top due to the script after the video.

tell it will be a long time before I can fully utilize it. I like the way they do tabs.

5. Yeah, the tab drawer isn't bad. I think I slightly prefer iCab's way of |
|
spreading all tabs across the desktop by a click, or the option in Opera to arrange tabs in more than one line

7. Thanks for the heads up. I downloaded it and am giving it a trial run today. |
|
I like the tabs drawer a lot, as I can monitor some of my pages that auto refresh without actually opening them. I have run into a couple of bugs - mostly pages that won't load, but so far so good.

8. The site preference inspector is really good. It gives you a lot of control |

water but will probably still be in the yard for another month.
Hope all is well in Mexico!
As for this browser, I am liking it. My biggest gripe is the find function. I really prefer Firefox's, but that's relatively minor.

13. I'm using this as my primary browser now, and I like it, but |
|
I don't like the find function. I miss my Firefox find function. It was much easier to use and just stayed open all the time. Is there a way to make OMNI do this?

14. Find works good enough for me. I like that it is not depended on the tab. |
|
I can write the term in this tab, and open it in an existing tab. In Safari you have to type the term into the tab you want the results to appear.
