OmniWeb

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.

More than just a pretty face, OmniWeb comes packed with cool features that make your time on the web more efficient, and more fun. OmniWeb puts you in charge of your browsing experience rather than viewing you as a source of personal information and advertising revenue, as some other browsers do.

AETNARIA For those that don't want to wait until the next official release of OmniWeb, check out their latest SneakyPeek:

Just be aware that it is an ongoing alpha, and thus prone to untested issues.

PENGUIRL Still my favorite browser, primarily for the Workspaces, graphical tabs, page markers, and per site preferences. I used to have occasional crashes with OmniWeb but now I can't remember the last time that it crashed. I only wish they'd update the version of WebKit in OmniWeb more often.

FREEWIZARD Current OmniWeb has an ad-block feature, and this plugin makes it possible to automatically update the filter list from EasyList and etc.

M-RICK There is the built-in Add-Filter that works very well too.

AHKIRA28 Would be my favorite browser except, in its current incarnation, it typically uses 600 - 800MB memory. Omnigroup needs to address this. I am currently using Chrome which draws much less resources. Though they are not frequent I also experience more crashes with OW than with any other browser.

ZX Best browser by far! I wish that the OG will putt some more effort into it.

Anyway, I'll gladly pay for it★★★★★

LIBERTYFORALL1776 I loved OmniWeb, and they have lead in browser design, including the NEXTSTEP days, but wake me up when they finish the 64-bit version, until then Safari for me...

M-RICK what do you a 61 bit version for a browser ??? it is not an engineering software or a graphical software.

L-G-S Very nice web browser with a very useful features. However the interface is old and ugly will be nice a new one more leopard alike. Specially with the tab drawer thing and the search box. It's time to change that.

They are some problems with javascript links in diferents webs like hotmail. Actions doesn't work. Also they should add some default rules for some websites like MobileMe which dont let use the web interface with Omniweb unless you change the web browser identity to Safari or Firefox.

PENGUIRL What do you mean no services available? If you are referring to the Services in the OmniWeb menu I use them with OW all the time.

SYZZYGY While OmniWeb is generally fast its rather cumbersome, inefficient method of handling bookmarks make it a pain-in-the-ass to use.

With all other browsers, one merely clicks on 'bookmarks' in the browser's menu bar and then clicks on the bookmark one wants from the drop-down menu; and voila....that's all.

With OmniWeb, one clicks on 'open bookmarks window', then clicks on one's bookmarks list and then scrolls down the list to find the bookmark one wants, then double clicks on it to go the bookmarked website.

How is that any better than the tried and true expeditious method employed by all other browsers?

I'll stick with the lovely, fast and feature rich Firefox; the latest version 3.6b2 being very stable.

ROBOTANK What are you talking about? OmniWeb has a drop down bookmark menu in which you can access all of your bookmarks like every other browser... and every other browser has a bookmark window or manager too. Check in the menu bar for the Bookmarks menu (gasp!). Your bookmarks are listed just below the actions (Add Bookmark, Show Bookmarks Page, etc.). You should really make an effort to have, at the very least, some slight idea of what you're talking about before you post a ridiculous and completely inaccurate comment.

SYZZYGY In OmniWeb you first click on 'Bookmarks' in OmniWeb's menu bar. Then you click on 'Open Bookmarks Window'. Then you go to the 'Collections' column on the left of the window. Then you click on Bookmarks in the column to display your list of bookmarks.

Then you go to your bookmarks list and scroll down to the bookmark that you want and double click on it.

In all other browsers, you click on 'Bookmarks' in the browser's menu bar, then move your cursor down to the bookmark that you want(no scrolling involved) and click on it....that's all. Slick and efficient.

I'd say that OmniWeb's way of handling bookmarks is unnecessarily unwieldy and most annoying.

By the way, on one occasion I went to OmniWeb's bookmarks and found that all my imported bookmarks were gone; I haven't a clue why. Does not inspire confidence.

Also, I have yet to discover how to delete a bookmark from my list there.

And can you drag your bookmarks into alphabetical order? There doesn't seem to be a way to alphabetize them.

And where's OmniWeb's bookmark manager?

Anyway if OmniWeb floats your boat, it's cool with me but OmniWeb sure won't be my choice of browser anytime soon.

MACLOVER1.1 Could easily be my favorite if I did not find the icons and overall appearance so appalling... I seriously wish it has a Safari skin ;-) Ugly girls don't get any sorry, no matter how smart. Ok behind closed doors with a bag over the head I lik'em smart and possibly ugly.. Kiss don't tell. But do get a makeover anyway OmniGirl will ya' ?!! Ya could be MUCH prettier.

PENGUIRL Go off on tangents much? Seriously, WTF does any of that have to do with a web browser? Sounds like you aren't happy with what you are getting, maybe if you worked on your personality you could do better.
