This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from September 2002 and lives here forevermore.

Web browsers

I’ve noticed in the last week that I’m using Chimera much more than I used to. Omniweb has been my browser of choice for the last year (maybe more), and it still has the best design of any of the browsers I’ve tried. However it’s sadly lacking in standards support. The CSS support is disappointing which is the reason for my extensive use of Chimera of late. I’m now testing with Chimera, and just making sure things still look alright in Omniweb.

Chimera is still a little rough around the edges. There’s a distinct lack of preferences for example, although this is understandable for a new(ish) browser. I think what I’m really after is Omniweb with the following thrown in from Chimera; tabbed browsing (they’re planning on adding that), standards compliance (that too) and the rather nice feature of asking which bookmark folder I want to add a new bookmark too. Then I would be a happy man.
