I hope you bothered to send crash report to developers or it will crash in version 2.1 , 2.2, 6.0, 99.445 too, as long as nobody sending bug/crash reports and posting comment to digg instead :)

@zongaminNo, it's not anywhere near ready. It crashed multiple times - within moments of each launch. It doesn't have even the most basic things like little pop ups to tell you what a button is when you hover over it.Rating: Meh+ Let's see it again at version 3.0

@ ilgazI hear you. Depending on my mood I'll cycle between Firefox, Camino and OmniWeb. Sometimes I'll even dabble in Opera. Typically I'll cycle through them going a few weeks at a time per browser. Again it's all dependent on how I feel about the current browser I'm using. Such is the beauty of Macs; I also can't imagine running 3+ browsers on my PC... that's just unheard of.

Release early, release often. That's one of the OSS models. There's bugs - you can go fix 'em yourself. :-)I'm not saying it's the best strategy - but it's fairly common.

yea, very buggy still.

OmniWeb does not have incremental search.

roosterjm2k2, I hate to break it to you, but you're all wrong. As said before, nobody is forcing you to use Safari, but for MS, IE will be necessary to run Windows. Also, if you knew anything about what you are saying, Safari runs on WebKit, the Cocoa framework for surfing the internet.
