Recently I saw that OmniGroup released a beta of OmniWeb 5. My experiences with OmniWeb 4 had been great until other browsers, namely FireFox and Safari, started to overtake it in terms of features and stability. Anyway had to try it out. Initially it seemed a little buggy (constant crashes, somes pages would take forever to load, the stop button was unresponsive). The last couple of days though, it has been running really smoothly for me. The things that have impressed me so far:

1) For whatever unknown reason, OmniWeb has always rendered text beautifully (the best between IE, Safari or FireFox)

2) Their “tab” implementation is just brilliant. On the sidebar, they have little thumbnail images of webpages. I would describe it as “expose for browser tabs”.

3) Default setup blocks most ads and pop-ups.

4) Per-site preferences.

Can’t wait for OmniWeb 5 to be released!
