| OmniWeb 4.5sp1 It's using Safari's WebCore. It's ALPHA quality, of course, but OmniWeb is definitely re-entering the browser wars.  Yay, finally I'm back at keyboard-cowboying.  More on http://macnews.net.tc

| Dubious... Yawnnn.... Am I the only one who finds it dubious that the OmniGroup, now that they are using the freely available WebCore engine under the GPL, still intends to charge for OmniWeb? I realize that they are still entitled to even though they are using open source software for the core of the browser, but it seems a bit disingenuous to me to do so. I'm guessing they are going to feel pressured to up the feature set of OW, since Safari already does 95% of what OW does, and does it much better.

| You're not thinking about all the great features that sets OmniWeb apart from all other browsers... Yes, they _should_ still charge for it. And you'll still be able to use it for free once it's finished. Tabs are coming but are not in this build yet. Btw. OmniWeb 4.5sp2 is out.
