Default Browser:OmniWeb

Note: Orig­i­nally posted on the Omni­Web Forums (reg­is­tra­tion required).

I’ve been on the fence as far as my pri­mary browser is con­cerned (call me a “browser agnos­tic” if you will), but find myself using Fire­fox with tons of exten­sions for the last 9 months or so, on all my machines (Mac & PC).Camino? Looks nice, but not enough fea­tures (one good exam­ple of mak­ing some­thing too sim­ple in my opin­ion).Safari? Nice, espe­cially with a few plu­g­ins, but gets bogged down too quickly for some rea­son (I can keep Fire­fox open for weeks with tons of tabs, and no prob­lems — Safari? not so much…).

Omni­Web has always looked nice, had nice fea­tures, etc., but as a web devel­oper (and web junkie — ahem, Flickr user…) I haven’t been able to use it because of its older ren­der­ing engine. Even so, I rec­og­nized the impor­tance of try­ing to make the best browser on the Mac, so I pur­chased a reg­is­tra­tion months ago, but have almost never launched the app. That reg­is­tra­tion has now paid off, since their sneak peeks have been my default browser on 3 machines since I started using them at #9 a lit­tle over a week ago, and I’m thrilled so far (and I don’t think I’m the only one — check out Jon Hicks’ sneaky peeks guide and also his updated Tiger theme, which makes the “sneaky peeks” even nicer)

Thank you, Omn­i­Group, for con­tin­u­ing to make your browser the best. It looks like you finally have achieved that goal, with hon­ors (and it’s not even final yet!).
