Ad and Flash Blocking Ridiculously Byzantine - Version: 5.10.1, 8/29/2009 02:12PM PST

It's not as though users haven't asked Omni for years to make ad blocking a simple Command-Click menu item, but nobody is listening. Sure, you can block ads, but the method is unnecessarily complicated compared with AdBlock on Safari or Adblock Plus on Firefox. If this feature were fixed, OmniWeb would be the browser of choice.

I really wanted to like this browser but working with blogger was just a nightmare and I use blogger a lot. It also couldn't render my blog properly which was odd. It split t into 2 tabs. No other browser does this and I test it on an browser I can get my hands on. I'm using a standard template also.
The browser is fast and has a lot of preferences that you can teak which is nice. I grew tired of being handcuffed by Safari but don't care for drawers that slide out. Not a bad thing just not for me.
With this browser becoming free and the Omni group more or less saying they're going to focus on other things, I think this long standing browsers days may be numbered.
Nice speed but the bad WYSIWYG editing was a deal breaker for me. If you don't blog, this will be a fine browser for you. Best of all, it's now free.

Wonder of wonders!
Years ago I licensed OmniWeb (don't recall its v. at that time) and liked its adaptability. But at times I went on to try other browsers and OW sat on the sidelines, except for now and then revival, such as editing HTML or testing odd page rendering in another browser.
Its current superior adaptability to specific sites (setting font size, for example, at a news site that specifies small font size) coupled with speedy rendering makes OmniWeb once again my favorite browser.
