Developer is actually a spamer, you need to provide him all your email addresses you would like to have protected and he uses them without your gaining your permissions to send you unsolicited mail from him

Banner Zest is a good software however the price is ridiculous $129 for the pro version is close to extortion.

Excellent Software like Rapid Weaver cost $49.95 and I would say is far more complex to program.

If the software would have reasonable price around $59 for the pro version I would buy but again $129 is ridicules.

I bought omni web after reading good reviews about it however after using it for two weeks I deleted it again from my HD for the following reason:

Unstable it crashes the most from all web browser I use (Navigator, Camino, Safari, Firefox)

Memory Hog: it uses a ridiculous amount of memory in comparison to other browsers

Compatibility: Many web site like Pleask Control Panel, Etrade, Westpac, Gmail are renders very badly or don't work at all.

Tab Implementation: needs a lot of mouse movement to switch tabs not very user friendly especially on 30" screen

bought this sometime in 2005 with lifetime update.

Downloaded version 2 but serial did not work.

Emailed developer with my order number etc and asked for a new serial or how to update.

his response was a link to previous version nothing more no explanation not a single word.

he has not responded to any further email asking for clarification.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPER WORST ONE I CAME ACROSS IN MY 20 YEARS OF MAC

lucky you then, working with FW for about 5 years now and with Apple Mac for about 15 years an FW 4 is one of the worst pieces of software I have seen during that time. I stopped counting bugs when I reached 100 and if there would be a collection of work arounds to circumvent bugs, inconsistencies or just bad GUI design it would be as comprehensive as the (missing) proper manual. But I guess it comes down what you expect from software if you have a lot of time, don’t mind frequently contacting support or the ridiculous mailing list forum where you cant search, don’t mind a often very user unfriendly GUI with little regard for usability, have no FW3 projects to upgrade and don’t make your living with web design and work on a single project then you might be not put of that much with FW. But that’s not me… So for the time being FW lost me.. Unfortunately, it could be such a great program

Freeway 4.1.2 is everything but Flawless.

I’m a freeway user for several years and FW 4 is the worst pieces of software I have seen been released by any software developer. It is ridden with bugs and inconsistencies and very unstable.

And this all after taking 3 years time to develop version 4

Ridicules

wait for version 4.9 ot buy version 3.5 which was excellent for the time.
