Why is Omniweb Just the Pokey Puppy of Browsers

[Beth Katz]

I just launched OW. My default workspace has 8 tabs. They loaded
pretty darn quickly and are ready for me to surf. I keep separate
workspaces for different tasks and that helps me work more effectively.
Switching to and loading the tabs in those workspaces was nearly
instantaneous.

I agree with Forrest that the features outweigh any difficulties.
I'd always like bugs fixed and the speed enhanced, but for me in
my day-to-day activities, for sheer usefulness, OW wins hands down.

I don't see an overall slowness, but I'm not surfing "fancy" sites.
You might try setting site preferences for some sites. Or cut back
on how much history you're saving. Or don't have as many tabs in each
workspace. Or use workspaces. History length seemed to really affect
my speed when I changed it months ago.

I'm not saying that you aren't experiencing slowness and that there
isn't room for OW improvement. But I use OW exclusively except in a
few rare cases when I use Firefox. OW works with the way I use the web.
