![]() Stainless has a lot to like but is a bit too much like Safari in its minimalist tabs. This even included the favicons that I "created" myself which were javascript scripts for things like Post to Delicious or Translate to English. Incidentally, making the transition from OmniWeb to Canary (and Chrome) was very much facilitated by the fact that I could drag the bookmark favicons from OmniWebs bookmark bar to that of Canary without any loss or confusion. Further, its minimalist approach, although much loved by Mac fanboys, just doesn't appeal to me. See this thread that's been running for 5 years begging for this in Safari. Safari 5.1 is fast and has the full-screen capability that is a major feature of Lion but it does not allow favicon only bookmarks. Seems we have to wait for OmniWeb 6 before 64-bit compatibility is available. ![]() I had used OmniWeb 5.11 for quite some time mainly for this reason, but it didn't seem to be compatible with Lion as it crashed quite a number of times on me. One thing that makes a browser fast is the availability of a favicon-only bookmarks bar which is colorful, yet minimalist and let's you very quickly browse to all of your favorite websites with just one-click. ![]() I don't want a browser so overloaded with features and extensions that it becomes lethargic. I want a browser essentially just for light browsing and the main features I need are speed, speed and did I mention speed? It's main feature, the millions of extensions, just do not excite me. In particular, I have not looked at Firefox as I really have never liked it. Of course, this can only be my personal subjective view, particularly as I have actually only tested a few browsers including OmniWeb, Stainless, Safari, Chrome and Chrome Canary.
