OmniWeb 5.0 Final, a Cocoa-Native Web Browser Has Shipped

The Omni Group has shipped OmniWeb 5.0, a major update to the web browser designed to make your browsing experience more productive, more efficient, and more fun. The new version can be downloaded from The Omni Group's web site, and soon will be available in most retail software outlets.

The new features include a tab drawer, saved browsing sessions, greatly enhanced bookmarks, page marking, improved search shortcuts, site-specific preferences, and more.

"I'm really excited about the 5.0 release of OmniWeb, which adds features never before seen in any other web browser," said Ken Case, CEO of The Omni Group. "Now that we're based on Safari's fast and compatible WebCore engine, we've been able to spend our design and development effort thinking of new ways to save you time. For example, OmniWeb 5.0 is able to remember all of your open windows and tabs, so you can pick up exactly where you left off after upgrading your operating system. It remembers different settings--such as ad blocking--for different web sites, so you don't waste time switching your preferences back and forth as you browse. And that's just the tip of the iceberg: I encourage you to visit our website and give OmniWeb 5 a try for yourself!"

OmniWeb 5.0 is available as a 30-day trial. Note the trial period includes 30 separate days, not just 30 launches. OmniWeb 5.0 sells for $29.95. Upgrades to OmniWeb 5.0 from previous versions are $9.95.
