Omniweb browser...

Omnigroup have now made their Omniweb browser free!


I used to use this browser until it had to be paid for, then I switched to Camino, which I have used pretty much as my default browser since.

So I was interested to see the news that Omnigroup had decided to make it available for free. Re-acquainting myself with it today, I am quite impressed with the speed it loads pages.

Safari 4 is still in beta and its option to view open tabs in a Coverflow format seems like a slightly slicker version of the 'preview' tabs which Omniweb and the "Speed Dial" open tab review that Opera uses.

I have used Camino for so long now that maybe a free Omniweb is a little late in coming but I'm willing to give it a chance again.
