It uses Apple's WebKit, which is a very good engine. Pluses: It's a fast and efficient browser. Since Apple's engine was the first engine that passed the Acid2 test, this browser has the same support for the W3C's Web Standards. The support for the Web standard is good. I am looking forward to the final version, because this one has some deficiencies. When opening the same web pages in the tabs, OmniWeb used more memory than Firefox and it had a higher CPU load. Maybe I got this because it's a beta version.

I checked the memory usage and it was high. After an hour, it started to move a little sluggish. When I tested this browser, the rendering speed was good.
#OMNIWEB BROWSERS MAC MAC OS X#
These are common features for the browsers found on the Mac OS X platform. The browser brings features such as ad-blocking, session saving, site preferences, built-in news feed reader, HTML editor, auto filler, and search shortcut. It takes some time to get used to it, but it's efficient. You can also place that panel to the right side of the window. It uses a side panel placed on the left of the browser's window. OmniWeb doesn't use the 'classic' positioning of the browsing tabs. This browser brings an interface that is more ergonomic than the one provided by Safari. I donit have that problem with OmniWeb.OmniWeb Editor's Review 'OmniWeb' is a commercial Web browser based on a Safari engine, Apple WebKit. For example, on a few sites Safari leaves large empty spaces where content should appear - the content loads, but it ends up at the bottom of the page below the empty space. I found that some Web pages that render oddly in Safari look much better in OmniWeb. Web pages render quickly in OmniWeb, and I think they look good, too. OmniWeb includes a robust cookie manager that lets you sort, search delete, save, and block cookies.

Dealing with cookies is an easy job, too. Both amazingly handy features when you are using a slow Internet connection and need to control your bandwidth. OmniWeb also includes built-in ad and pop-up blockers. This is handy if you visit Web pages that may not be part of a Workgroup, but still need to be configured in a special way. You can also create site-specific settings. Relaunch OmniWeb, and it will restore your Workspace. Workgroups are also useful if OmniWeb should crash (Thankfully, I canit recall the last time that happened to me).

Just create a Workspace that forces a larger type size for those pages. Letis say you visit a group of sites that display text in a type size thatis way too small to read. Workspaces are really nice because you can create customized setups for the different tasks you do online. You can create multiple Workspaces, and open them whenever you like. Each workspace can have its own settings, including window size, type size, and more. OmniWeb lets you build Workspaces, or preset groups of Web pages. Since I typically have 15 or more pages open at any one time, OmniWebis tabs are much easier to navigate compared to other browsers. You can also drag OmniWebis tabs around to rearrange them. Instead of relying on names that get truncated as you open more sites, you get a small visual representation of each page. Thumbnails instead of page names totally makes sense to me.
