OmniWeb 5.5.4 beta 1 is now available! While this isn’t a huge update it does address a couple issues that we think everyone will appreciate.

First, we’ve addressed a security issue (as reported here), this fix prevents code inside HTML comments to be executed that could occur in some circumstances.

Next, we fixed an issue with the history index that allows old content to get removed from the database. This means that your index should no longer grow to painfully large sizes and slow page loading performance down. Please note however, on first launch of 5.5.4 your history index file will be reset. This will not affect your History list but you will be required to revisit pages to include them in full text search of your history.

These in addition to some JavaScript and Localization fixes make up 5.5.4, you can get the full release notes here.

Then go download!

Great. You are really working fast….

Since today I personally must have convinct up to 15 people to switch to Omniweb here in Germany… :D
Maybe you can give awy a license, that I can give away in my blog ;)

Keep on the good work….

Everytime a new version of OmniWeb comes out, I look for undo support of closing tabs … but no :(
‘Tis a cool browser though :D

Yeah, please add a trash can like feature from where we can retrieve closed tabs and blocked pop-ups. Or at least, as Andreas Wahlin suggested, an ‘Undo’ feature.

An option to “automatically reload page every X minutes” would be great. One of the main reasons I continue to use Opera. And now there is an add-on for Firefox to do it. Onmiweb is fast and works great, other than what I need to do with it.
