I definitely think OW is a far more attractive browser, but I find it ironic that an OW fan (and I'm one) would criticize another browser’s tabs implementation as faddish. I’m sure the same comment has been made about OW’s.

I’ve played with installing SafariStand to get OW-style tabs and an approximation of the workspace functionality. Installed Safari AdBlocker for more robust ad blocking and am now trying to find a way to do more site-specific appearance customization. If I can get that figured out (and possibly even if I can’t), then I'll be making Safari my new default browser.

I would LOVE nothing more than to see OW stay in active development and to gain the performance improvements necessary to keep it competitive. But right now, Safari is just smoking OW. And it does not appear to have the memory leaks that OW has. I’ve had a workspace I regularly use up and running overnight. In OW, it would be consuming about 350-450 meg of real memory when I wake up. If I quit and relaunch OW, that goes down to around 200 but quickly climbs back up. Safari with the same tabs open has been stable around 200.

Right now this app is giving me better browser AND system performance. That’s tough to ignore.
