OmniWeb. Wow. - tuqqer - 08-15-2006 OmniWeb just came out with a fresh beta today: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/3253 This is the first time I've been really impressed with a browser interface enough to perhaps stop using Safari. Just really fast, nice features that haven't taken a peek into the user guide to figure out. Anyone else falling in love with this $30 beauty? Or have I just got stars in my eyes and will soon find all its warts and faults? Re: OmniWeb. Wow. - IronMac - 08-15-2006 If I have to pay for a browser then it's not going on my machine. Re: OmniWeb. Wow. - Zoidberg - 08-15-2006 I've been using OmniWeb since VPFranx recommended it to me ages ago on that other forum. I've developed a good relationship with Omni, and happily paid for the browser a long time ago. Excellent, first-rate web browser. Amazing feature set. Re: OmniWeb.

Some you pay for in dollars, some you pay for in time lost. Re: OmniWeb. Wow. - ka jowct - 08-15-2006 I'm with IronMac on this one. I'm not paying $30 for a browser. Re: OmniWeb. Wow. - mrbigstuff - 08-15-2006 too many free browsers to pay for it. just like - oh, never mind. but i do hate me some firefox. that browser is sucky slow. Re: OmniWeb. Wow. - jdc - 08-15-2006 safari has a bunch of add ons to make it a lot like omni -- including window tabs popup blocking, etc Re: OmniWeb. Wow. - M A V I C - 08-15-2006 [quote jdc]safari has a bunch of add ons to make it a lot like omni -- including window tabs popup blocking, etc They add some features, but not all. And the way those features are implemented are much more smoothly than the add-ons. The way I look at it, if you make $10/hr OW only has to save you 44 seconds per work day before it saves you more money than it costs. If you bill at $100/hr, that's 4.4 seconds (going on a 2000hr/yr average.) But everyone can do what they want. Some people use Linux because they think an OS should be free too. |
