[…] dazu später. Durch einen Bericht beim Christoph, dem alten Browserholic, bin ich auf den neuen Sneaky Peek von OmniWeb 5.6 aufmerksam geworden. Neue (Beta-)Versionen dieses Browser gab es ja bereits […]

I suggest that you also look at the new shiira browser (v. 2.1) and try to integrate some of it’s features.

We have a family license and use OmniWeb along with Safari 3.0, and, less and less, Firefox. Opera? No thanks.

OmniWeb is an excellent browser. I have had crashes over the last several months and I am not 100% pleased with things, but the look and feel and workmanship of the programming is first-rate.

Anyone who complains about having to pay for it is more than welcome to sponge off other people’s efforts. But OmniGroup has been upfront fron the get-go and that is the way of things.

They deserve to be paid for their efforts and credited for their integrity. Don’t like it…? There’s always Internet Explorer 5.2.3 waiting to be downloaded for free from the Crypt of Death - have fun with that, eh!

Some things are absolutely worth paying for. Peace of Mind. True Inspiration. Innovative Hard Work. Anything That Cuts Off Microsoft.

I would really like to see a “new tab” button that you can put in the main toolbar. I never saw anything like that anywhere. It would be really cool to see some updated icons or be able to customize them (similar to firefox) Just somethings that would make me want to buy it.

I’m more excited about the next version of OmniWeb than I am about the Transformers movie. I know OmniWeb won’t be disappointing.

A little PS/Tip for Alpha testers, while trying Sneaky Peek, go to Software Update preferences of browser (Omniweb) and set it to check updates DAILY rather than weekly default. It really checks daily, e.g. it won’t check 30 times if you reboot 30 times unlike amateurly written applications.

I preferred Omniweb because it was a commercial, really supported, innovative browser from a group like Omni back in time when it was $30 or something.
Still glad about that decision. Keep up the good work and actually caring about your users Omni Group!

I’m a bit confused about the OmniWeb strategy. It seems like this product has the potential to be the “loss leader” for OmniGroup.

You guys have so many terrific products that must be generating significant revenue. Why not make the web browser free and use it to attract interest to your other (better) products. As much as I like OmniWeb, I refuse to pay for it, because I view it as another form of vendor lock-in (even at the low price). Who is going to build meaningful plugins for it a la Firefox (or even Safari)?

What the community needs is a standards-compliant browser like Firefox with the user experience of Safari/OmniWeb (both of which need tons of improvement in terms of standards compliance, especially their JavaScript/ECMAScript implementations). Sadly, OmniGroup et al seems resigned to “leaving it to Apple”.

Good luck, Guys.
