The advantage to OmniWeb’s presentation is when you use the thumbnail view: The scaled-down thumbnails of the pages in the tabs are easily identifiable, with just a glance. In Safari (and in OmniWeb’s list view for tabs), tabs are only identifiable by their names. And the more tabs you add to a Safari window, the more truncated the titles get. The only case where OmniWeb’s thumbnails aren’t all that useful is when you have several tabs open to pages on the same site, in which case the scaled thumbnails are indistinguishable. But OmniWeb still includes the page titles, so you’re no worse off than you would be in Safari. I’m quite happy with OmniWeb’s tab drawer. ![]() Yes, it uses more screen space, but it uses horizontal space, which works well with Apple’s move toward widescreen displays, and strikes me as loosely analogous to the context-switching sidebars in other apps - like iTunes, iPhoto, the Finder, and three-pane readers like email clients and NetNewsWire.īut even if you don’t like where OmniWeb displays its tabs, you’ve got to love what it allows you to do with them. Most importantly, you can drag tabs from one window to another you can even shift-click to select multiple tabs in one window and drag them all to another window at once. You can explode tabs into separate individual windows. ![]() If you try to close a window that contains more than one tab, OmniWeb asks if that’s really what you want to do (but if you don’t like the warning, you can turn it off).
