The Omni Group Announces OmniWeb 5.0

[Phill R Kenoyer]

All I wanted from Omniweb was a fast, stable browser.  I wanted 
tool-tips for titles (like other browsers), I wanted a way to turn 
cookies on for the site I'm looking at via hot key, and I wanted the 
settings to be sane like other browsers (IE borders default to 1 for 
anchor tags).  What I bought was a buggy browser that I can't even use. 
  4.5 is terrible.  It crashes way way too much and it's the slowest of 
all browsers.  There are things I really love about it, and I bought it 
for those reasons.  But I can't use it because it crashes left and 
right.

Now version 5 is coming out.  I have to pay again if I want to use it.  
I don't think I'm going to pay for v5 after getting burned on v4.5.  
I'm done.  I'll just use Safari if I have to.  I even bought a copy for 
my wife, who will not even use it because she uses eBay and OW4.5 is 
useless for eBay.  So I have two copies of OW that I don't use.

What a shame.  I'm very disappointed.
