They can be rearranged at will, and even dragged between windows.
They exist in a drawer, so they don’t use up any vertical space (another problem only with those with 1024 by 768 resolution screens or smaller). (This is probably more of a problem for someone using, as I am, a notebook of some kind.) Being able to set the font size individually for each site you visit is so natural, because you’re never distracted by small type because it’s fixed once and for all. Per-site preferences really was one of the killer features for me. I’ve put off leaving because of all these things, and I hope I won’t miss them too much. OmniWeb has so many great little features that I love, I’m going to detail them here because I can. So what was the straw that broke the camel’s back? It was sort of the opposite, actually.
#BROWSER MAC OMNIWEB UPDATE#
Since then, it’s had a single major update to 5.1. After jumping around a bit (Camino was my next browser of choice for quite some time), I then went back to the fold after Safari was released, as OmniWeb stood on its shoulders to provide the best of both worlds: standards support and an ace application.
#BROWSER MAC OMNIWEB MAC OS#
I first used OmniWeb (in fact, I can distinctly remember the first time I even heard about it) in v4 for quite some time as my main browser in Mac OS X, even after people were complaining about its lack of standards support (it wasn’t much of an issue to me at the time, since few things seemed obviously broken to me because that was all I knew) OW’s paragraph builder was much prettier than any other, even today, I would wager. I’ve been using OmniWeb for a long long time now, but I’ve finally had to say good-bye. Press release: Lighthouse Design Ships OmniWeb 1.Well, I finally did it.OmniWeb 5.0 Beta by John Siracusa at Ars Technica ().This page uses Creative Commons Licensed content from Wikipedia ( view authors). OmniSaft is a plug-in for OmniWeb that adds a full-screen mode. Site preferences: OmniWeb allows you to specify preferences that apply to specific websites.Shortcuts: allows one to type a word or partial address and end up in the correct place.It is also possible to block images that don't originate from the current server you are browsing and to block images which are the common advertisement size. Ad blocking: OmniWeb uses a powerful pattern match ad blocking feature to stop images from loading from servers matching the pattern.View Links: By clicking on this button in the toolbar, one can quickly view all the links contained in the page.Incidentally, Konqueror has the same function.
This feature also allows you to enter tab characters. This helps when you wish to add lots of text to an area which is very small and you want to see all of it at once.
On August 11, 2004, the Omni Group released version 5.0 of OmniWeb which included a number of new features.
