Interestingly enough, despite using the same WebCore engine as Safari, it didn't fare quite as well on CSS1 test and its page rendering is slower. On the other hand, OmniWeb has a number of nice touches that make it a pleasure to use. Additionally the preference pane is very well organized and allows a high degree of customization with regard to user preferences.

Also, OmniWeb makes use of "drawers," where the browser history and bookmarks slide out from the right-hand side of the browser. PowerPC on Apple: An Architectural History, Part I Multicore, dual-core, and the future of Intel Next: Safari, Camino, Mozilla, and the final draw OmniGroup promises version 5.0 will support "multiple page browsing in a single window." If they can continue to keep pace with Safari in terms of development and rendering speed, improve standards compliance, and add tab-like functionality with version 5.0 (slated to ship by year-end), this could be the best browser for OS X.
Omniweb vs chrome Pc#
Virtual machine shootout: Virtual PC vs.When Microsoft, Mozilla, or Apple comes out with a new version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari, it makes news - mainly because most of us use one or more of these three Web browsers. In fact, with the exception of Google's Chrome (which made a big splash, mostly because it came from Google), most of the alternative browsers out there tend to get lost in the shuffle.Īnd it's too bad, because some of these relatively unknown browsers are good - and could be better for some users than the ones they're using now. We asked three of our writers to take some lesser-known browsers out for a spin and see how they do. They chose six candidates: Camino (for the Mac), Maxthon (for the PC), OmniWeb (for the Mac), Opera (both the Mac and the PC versions), and Shiira (for the Mac).

Which is the best? It all depends on what you need from a browser.įor example, Camino is for those who want a simple, basic browser, while Maxthon is overflowing with every power feature in the book.
