Chrome is cool, but none of the added functionality of Omniweb, Safari with plugins, Firefox, or even Camino. No ad blocking, no site preferences, etc. etc.
Omniweb is already "beaten down". Face it, it's a marginal browser like iCab. It's never even mentioned in discussions of browsers. It just remains to be seen in Omni Group wants to get back in the game, or just provide lame maintenance releases such as 5.8. Considering how long 5.8 took, and how it's already way behind WebKit nightlies, I don't think it's a high priority for them.

I agree completely. All the focus seems to be on the money projects like OmniGraffle and OmniFocus. I'd love to see them get back into the game with OmniWeb, as it's a great browser. However, the WebKit lag is killing it performance-wise versus even Safari.
