All your windows and tabs are quickly restored when you relaunch the web browser. OmniWeb is capable to automatically save all your opened windows and tabs along with their size and location on the screen every time you close the app. You can also change the aspect of the side tabs and display only the title of the loaded pages. Instead of displaying the browser tabs across the top of the window, OmniWeb places them in a side panel from where you can view thumbnails for all opened tabs.Īll tabs can be reorganized, dragged onto new windows or deleted with just a few mouse clicks. The appealing factor is provided by the tab system used by OmniWeb. OmniWeb comes with a simple and user-friendly interface from which you can quickly visit multiple pages, manage bookmarks, change security settings and even block advertisements. Scot Finnie is Computerworld 's online editorial director.OmniWeb is a versatile, feature-rich and powerful macOS application that provides the required tools to browse the web, bookmark pages and handle multiple workspaces.

I also regularly use these Apple programs that come with the Macintosh software bundle:ĭo you have something you want to tell me about the Mac (or Windows, for that matter)? Drop me a line. ClamXav virus scanner (I may not be using it much longer.).Titanium Software's OnyX (OS X system tweaking utility).DoubleCommand (keyboard-customizing utility).Bare Bones Software's BBEdit or TextWrangler.Eudora (I don't recommend Eudora generally on the Mac.).This is an updated list of the Mac software that has been admitted to my regular-use list:
#OMNIWEB FOR MAC REVIEW MAC OS X#
It turns out that Dan makes versions of this tool for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The fact that I was searching for a Mac solution was kind of funny. I've been using Dan Bricklin's ListGarden for the past couple of years under Windows. One of the more esoteric utilities on my list is an RSS feed creation tool. I've used NetNewsWire before, and I just haven't found anything else I like as well. Both are running on my Mac very well.įor the moment, I'm running the FeedDemon RSS reader under Windows, but my intention is to switch to NetNewsWire for the Mac (which, like FeedDemon, was purchased by NewsGator). I still haven't selected my one and only FTP package, but it's still between Yummy and CuteFTP. I didn't get to give them my feedback as a result. I was supposed to meet with Omni Group at Macworld, but I wound up having to miss the show for business reasons. The option to convert the thumbnails to text actually requires a bit more space, not less.
That would be nice as an option, but as the only tab UI, it uses too much space. OmniWeb's tabbed browsing uses thumbnails of the Web sites running down the side of the browser window. Its makers will have to adopt a Firefox 2-like tabbed-browsing system before they get me. But because of one specific feature, I just can't use it.
In my book, a browser has to be fun to use Opera isn't.įinally, the browser I like the best overall is OmniWeb from The Omni Group. Whenever I try to use it (on whatever platform), I find the experience a chore. So what else is new? I love the features and the speed, but the user interface is quirky and annoying. What a shame.Ībout Opera, well, I still don't like Opera. If Camino were basically Firefox properly refined for the Mac, it would own the Mac browser space. Camino is based on an older version of the Firefox Gecko browser engine, but its maker is marching to a different drummer than I want to march to. Camino, the Mozilla browser built specifically for the Mac, has all the fit and finish that Firefox lacks, but it doesn't support extensions, isn't updated fast enough for my taste and doesn't even offer the search box appended above the status bar - one of Firefox's great little features.
