Cruz: High-octane WebKit riffing


Cruz (pronounced kroōz) is another WebKit-based browser that brings yet more twists on the open-source core that underpins Apple's Safari.

The big feature, for me at least, is GreaseMonkey integration. And, according to Wired, all of the scripts they tried just worked, which is a very good and Mac-like thing to do.

Here's longer listing of what's notable in Cruz:

Open Plug-in Architecture
Built-in Userscripting
Userstyles
ÜberView for Plug-in Split Views
Global Keyboard Shortcut
Single-Window Browsing Mode
BrowsaBrowsa Plug-in for Sidebars
Session Restore
Full-Screen Mode
Customizable Shortcuts
Integrated Gears-loading (InputManager)
Hidden "Closed" Windows
Thumbnail Plug-in for CoverFlow
TinyURL creation/expansion
Automatic Software Updates
Custom User-Agent Strings
Full WebInspector
Custom Window Opacity / Level / Style

Haven't tried it, but I think where Cruz's multi-pane display paradigm will really shine is when used on large, wide-format monitors--ie Apple's Cinema Display product line.
