Une version 5.5 est en chantier. La version bêta devrait tout soudain être mis à disposition des internautes. Mais il est déjà possible pour les plus courageux de se lancer avec la version “Sneaky Peek”. Cette version paraît apporter un élément qui jusqu’à maintenant ressemblait au défaut majeur de ce navigateur : la rapidité d’affichage des pages. Pour ceux qui désirent personnaliser l’usage de son navigateur, ce sera peut-être une bonne affaire. A noter qu’il sera nécessaire de s’inscrire à leurs forums pour disposer de la clé d’accès à l’installateur du programme. Via le blog d’Omnigroup.

The features almost outweigh all of them — except the performance. Well, and the crashing. Maybe worth another look when 5.5 is out. Yep, I know there is a public beta, but I’m going to wait for the real thing. [...] [...] I think middle two issues stem from using Rosetta.

Unless the bugs in the current version are fixed, the application renders more quickly, control of Flash and ads is more intuitive, and it stops crashing, I'm getting a divorce lawyer. Adding more sexy features without fixing the current problems is putting lipstick on a pig. OmniWeb has always been “sexy,” but can it cook properly?

I look forward to switching back to OmniWeb when this becomes available. This looks very sexy. I look forward to switching back to OmniWeb when this becomes available.

(That means OmniWeb will display web pages the same way that Safari does.) This will be a nice step forward, and could make OmniWeb a viable option for me.

The interface feels cluttered and the loud colours in the toolbar icons don't help... Something more like Camino would be an improvement. Looking forward to giving it a whirl nonetheless!

Some ideas: - show the DOM name of objects in the webinspector palette - also show html/DOM which was changed/added by javascript (important for AJAX debugging) - stepping thru Javascript code would be great - some sort of http traffic watcher like "live http headers" for firefox ( http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ ) would ease form debugging a lot. regards, Lars I’d like to see OmniWeb to become a swiss knife for Webdevs with all the features one needs to debug html and Javascript.

(Want to know how to do it right? Check out iCab.) Hoping to see some major improvements in that area in version 5.5.

I work online, spending at least 6 hours work and around 2 leisure a day (jesus help me). Omniweb was worth forking out for but the speed issue has become a real problem. That and having to use Firefox for certain sites. Bring it on... Looking forward to the public beta immensely.
