Omniweb Beta 5.5

[Jeff Wheeler]

Wow. This is so awesome. It has all of the sweet features from before, and now it doesn't render like 1923. It's wonderful.

The only complaint I have is the top little bar thing… it's ugly as heck. Luckily it'll be removed once it's about of beta. At last, I can end these last few months of ugly spelling… w00t! A typo!

Yeah, so it's pretty sweet. You can get the password-protected DMG here:

The passwords are supposed to be in the forums… but I couldn't find them. I just revived an email I got from one of the guys there that said I was on the beta list, and he sent me an email with that, and the information on how to get the passwords (which didn't work…)

Nevertheless, this is awesome!

Why did this get moved? It doesn't seem like it should belong here… but whatever.

Well it relates to computers . . .

Looks cool, I just don't have a Mac so any opinion of mine on this is worthless :thumb: - they sure seem to be full of themselves (and Macs) through.

About as exciting as watching paint dry... *goes to open Safari and Firefox*

But it's so cool! It's awesome…

I saw that coming... was contemplating putting in a please don't tell me to google

sigh, can't we get a straight answer around here anymore? :sigh:

thanks for the links anyway.

Well… it's basically a pretty browser with Safari's rendering engine. Good?

[simplistik]

Yea well lets not forget to mention that they expect you to pay for a browser that does what other FREE browsers can do. So really it's about as worthless as Opera was when you had to pay for that. I will say that one of the coolest features it does have is the way it handles "tabs" w/ a dock instead of actual tabs. Oh yea and it does spellchecking too... but again... neither of which are worth paying for a browser.

[Jeff Wheeler]

It was worth it to me… :D

About as useful as a screendoor on a submarine if you ask me. :lol::|

[Jeff Wheeler]

Well… now it doesn't matter, because the rendering engine is the same. ;)
