OmniWeb 5 - Powerful and feature-laden web browser
Authored by: jtrott on Sep 08, '04 01:03:56AM

I was using OminWeb 5 from the first public beta and I switched to it as my main browser part way through the process when the stability reached a level I was comfortable with. The features that I can't live without are the workspace saving and the site specific preferences. It's so useful to be able to set the font size for ccn.com specifically just for that site to be 1.1 times the normal size. I don't have to ever set it again and it doesn't effect viewing other websites. It also means I can set omniweb to block all cookies, then turn them on in a site by site basis when I need them. It's a very powerful feature. Plus omniweb sync's your bookmarks to any webdav server (like .mac) so that you can use the same bookmarks on multiple computers just like safai with isync/.mac.
All this using the same web engine that safari uses with almost the same speed.
I'd recommend everyone downloads the demo version and gives it a try just to see what you are missing. The demo version is fully functional except it draws a demo graphic over your webpage if you are idle too long.

OmniWeb 5 - Powerful and feature-laden web browser

OmniWeb5-cool. That's all I can say. Not much else I can say, knowing me. Well, the thing about the computer models was pretty good. Back to the hint: I love surfing the web (and writing articles along the way), so a browser like that would be a dream for me. I highly doubt we will get it, though.
