I like chimera, the anti-aliased text doesn’t bother me. But I really like the tabbed windows. Once they get the css down pat, I’m all over it. Oh yeah, Mozilla ain’t half bad either.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Chimera based on the mozialla rendering engine? This would account for the rapid advancement in CSS support.

Tabbed windows: brilliant. Feels like they should have been invented years ago. A big part of the reason why Moz is now my default browser.
James, yes, you’re perfectly right. Guess I was just a bit stunned to see an app that doesn’t even have its preference panes done yet beat the pants off OmniWeb in this respect.

Have you considered trying Oreilly’s Safari service. Access to every book they publish for a monthly fee. Interesting Idea if nothing else.
