OmniWeb is designed to provide you with the best user experience you'll find in a web browser.

People who use and love the Mac (and Mac OS X in particular) do so because of the sum of all the little things; the attention to detail that makes the Mac user experience superior. Omni knows this, and built the only browser that has the same level of detail. OmniWeb draws on the full beauty of Mac OS X's Quartz graphics, and truly leverages the Aqua interface with drawers, sheets, customizable toolbars, and more.

Fast Browser, can use my Safari Bookmarks, but I can't get images to load automatically, have to click the "Load Images" icon for all the images to load on a webpage, then have to click again if I change webpage. How can I fix this in Preferences? Thanks.

Thanks Fyreflye, I was able to figure this out myself, in Preferences/ Ad Blocking, had to uncheck an image block function. Ken.

a modern browser without 1Password integration in a world consisting of hundreds of personal sites with identification need ???

consequence: all in the same boat will have to move to little beloved Safari or worse ?

I'm still using 1Password 3.5.13 for Camino support which also supports OmniWeb, I didn't know that AgileBits had dropped support for OmniWeb too.

But that's on AgileBits, the Omni Group has no control over AgileBits.

1Password works fine with Omniweb. There's no need for integration.

Yes, I'm running OW 5.11.1 using the current 3.8.12 version of 1Password. Though in fact Keychain is faster than 1P at entering passwords. Make sure "Enable additional browser extensions" is checked in 1P Preferences. If that doesn't work launch OW, go back to 1P and uncheck and then recheck "Enable additional browser extensions," then close and relaunch OW, and that should do it.

Keychain works quickly and efficiently on Camino as well as OW and even Safari/WebKit. I rarely need to click the 1P extension icon anymore when I stick to those browsers. I can understand why some here seem to be enslaved to 1P using the Google Vampire browsers but there's no actual need to use 1P on native Mac browsers.

@Fyreflye Hehe, then you've never used 1Password. It is so much more than a program that stores usernames and passwords. That much is quite evident by just opening the app. Keychain certainly isn't faster...as fast, sure. And frankly, Keychain works just fine with Chrome as well.

It's the lack of a plugin structure like in other web kit browsers that was undoubtedly on Omni Group to get integrated; this is finally what's responsible for OmniWeb not being compatible with recent versions of 1Password

@Xenos There are two posts on this very thread pointing out that OmniWeb *is* compatible with recent versions of 1Password.

Chadcn replied on 17 Dec 2011
It depends which version of 1Password is used, to be honest. The MAS version doesn't, however the non-MAS version does, simply because of the restrictions Apple has put in place for the MAS. Ultimately it is up to Omniweb to implement a proper extension structure. The route 1Password currently uses is most likely going away thanks to Apple

Non-MAS version: Open 1Password, go to Preferences, unclick "Other Browsers" box; open OmniWeb, click on "Other Browsers" box in 1Password, close 1 Password. The 1P button should now be available in the OmniWeb "Customize Toolbar" popup.

@Chadcn I purchased my 1P license on April 12, 1999. And I've never seen a post here lamenting that they just can't do without
1P because of its Identities and Wallet.

@Xenos You have a good point. Maybe in OW 6? I would buy it again if I could to help support development.

Very ironic. A once very popular and compelling and hugely distinctive Mac Browser comes out with its first public upgrade in over a year ostensibly to incorporate Lion OS Yet it cannot go full screen and doesn't make use any of the Lion screen gestures. Could it be an Omnijoke?

OmniWeb has features that no other browser that I know of has, features that I value far more than those that Lion has. But then I don't run Lion anyway so it makes no difference to me.

A browser like OW that elects to support every Mac OS from 10.4.8 through 10.7 may not be able to handle every one of Apple's latest innovations. But unlike nearly all the other browsers it's not abandoning support and development for those still using earlier versions of OS X and/or PPC machines.

Full screen? Try clicking the green gem. ;-)

Extensions? Those are in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. ;-)

Smart Zoom? Can't help you there, though OS X supports zoom. :-)

Can I use full page zoom in OmniWeb?
Yes! Just like Safari, OmniWeb supports full page zoom. However it is not on by default. To enable it, quit OmniWeb. Open a terminal window and enter the following line:

defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5 WebKitDebugFullPageZoomPreferenceKey 1

When you next launch OmniWeb, all content on the page will zoom in and out.

Great and speedy browser!

Although the current alignment of tabs is an unique feature of OmniWeb, I'd like to see an option to use a regular tab bar like the other browsers out there. In my opinion it takes a bit too much space from the window.

Excellent work and nice that it's free now. Only the strange tab bar makes me a bit crazy, lol. But it's something other browsers don't have.
Ye and thank you for still supporting PPC and Tiger!

I love the look and customization that is possible. But through various versions I have had repeated trouble, in which streaming of either voice of video hands the application. Safari never has this problem. Any help welcome.

Admin - this release requires Tiger - 10.4. It won't launch under Panther.
The beta is inside the 10.4 folder on OmniWeb's FTP site - someone's made a goof in the release notes.
