I'm downloading sp 18 again just in case.Īnother thing that seems strange is: Why does OSX default to Internet Explorer as the browser EVERYTIME I download an update for OmniWeb? Shouldn't I be able to set OmniWeb as the browser of choice and have that persist? The only weird thing I've noticed about OmniWeb sp 18 is that it still lists itself as OmniWeb sp 17 (v 327). OW sp 18! I installed 17 and the only thing I did with it was download OW 4.1 sp 18.Ĭompare that to IE that still makes flickering black squares that follow my cursor around over text and has been updated exactly once since the release of OSX.Īgreed that every browser has issues, but OW is my browser 99% of the time. In the morning I got up and checked the sneaky peek page again since it was up there. I started OW 4.1 sp 17 downloading last night. Oh.also, Omni gets updats faster than you can say "Oh look, OW's been updated" which is a good sign that OW is getting better and better everyday.unlike Microsoft's bi-centenial upgrades of their software. That said, I don't like how some pages don't render correctly in OW and how it decides to crash often without any apparent reasons.īut what makes OW shine above all other browsers is the user-friendly interface, text-to-speech, spell-check, active-bookmark update checking (displaying how many pages and which pages were updated on the OW dock icon and dock menu). I hate IE's ugly interface (it used to look decent in OS 9 but it looks out of place and a half-assed-Aqua-attempt in OS X.) I hate the way IE doesn't display some images on occasions. I don't like the fact that IE has problems rendering pages and leaves the whole page white until you scroll down and back up again (not the same rendering problems as OmniWeb). In fact, all browsers have rough depends which edge you don't mind being rougher. Let's be honest here.OmniWeb isn't the only browser with rough edges. OmniWeb still has a few rough edges to flesh out, and this includes every version up to and including sneaky peek 17.
