The graphic history concept is nice, but in itself it's not worth opening a second browser that does not support tabs or all other features in Safari/Firefox/whatever other full-featured browser of choice.
Plus, Trailblazer seems to be using up as much memory/CPU as any of those browsers...
Please please, guys, rethink the whole concept and come up with a history browser that fits right in Safari, not a standalone browser like this. It'd have much more appeal.

As far as I've seen, TB seems to display pages with CSS correctly - but for instance it had a problem with a clickable popup window (activated by user, not the nasty popup kind!), it just didn't load, while in Safari, it did load correctly.

Omniweb gets away with 10.2 support because they are using an older version of webkit with 10.2 support + additional patches installed manually to bring it up to speed with the current webkit.
