OmniWeb 5 - Powerful and feature-laden web browser
I had been using Mozilla for about six years, partly due to necessity (as a Linux user, it was pretty much the only option), but mainly it was just loyalty -- Mozilla was the first browser to reveal how broken Internet Explorer was and how much better the web could be.

If Safari would save name/pws in the keychain, like they should-- you'd think Apple would've implemented this LONG ago, I'll go to Safari..Well, by all means, go to Safari. It saves names and passwords in the keychain and has done so for a while.

syko, look at Safari's preferences. Click the auto fill tab. By default the option to store user names and passwords is unchecked. If you simply check that box, Safari will store that data. This option has been there since the first release.

i stand corrected!!

It shouldn't be enabled by default. There are privacy issues, so it's best to let the user enable it if desired.

I would never enable or use that on any computer. And the fact that various apps gather personal info from other apps (like address book) automatically and invisibly sucks. As a privacy advocate myself, I won't use Address Book at all for that reason. The thing that's really sad is that browsers (most, if not all) have cookies fully enabled by default across the board. Leading to the pervasive cookie abuse we have now. At least OW lets you specify what you'll accept with fine granularity. I'm going to give it another look....

Um, Omniweb does save usernames and passwords in the Keychain. They also support the same method as Safari, so if you've saved username / password combinations in Safari, OW will be able to use them, too.

Sorry, misread your comment. That's what happens when you comment before coffee. :(

The most annoying thing about the passwords is that, while all three of these browsers do store passwords in the keychain, they all store them differently, so none of them can access the others' stored passwords. :-(
Keychain sharing
Hmm, Safari and OW5 share Keychain entries fine for me. Sometimes OW5 prompts to get access to entries originally created with Safari and clicking "always allow" stops the prompting on followup visits. |
