Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

To those having problems, all I can say is that it is likely something in your system. I use OmniWeb on 4 different machines, with different configurations, and it runs fine (but for the NYTimes bug that is fixed in this beta). No other product combines the features of this browser - saving window status, workspaces and drag and drop between them, elegant and unique tab system that simply works better, site-by-site preferences. Autofill works fine, and reliably on all systems. I can't recommend the product highly enough, and it's well worth paying for even in the face of some excellent free browsers. And a very responsive developer - it's hard to think of something to fault. Fulfills the promise of OS X.

Actually, the "problems" are with OmniWeb :-)
From what I understand, the issue with Speed Download will be solved in a future release, and AutoFill will be greatly improved too. I thought those issues were going to be fixed with this release, but it seems that OMNI focused on other bugs this time.
OmniWeb is my main browser, I paid for it and I'm very happy with Omni, their products, and their support. I'll be happier once more bugs are crushed :-)

SD developers are lucky - Ilgaz

They are lucky to have such user base. Integrating to webbrowser is not a huge rocket science magic, you just register octet stream filetype to your application and trick the OS that its a "stream"

Why Omni is blamed if they can't manage it like iGetter does for ages?
