The developer says expanded RSS capabilities are planned for a future version. Article titles appear in a menu, with icons indicating those that are unread, but you can’t scan a page full of article summaries you must go to each article’s Web page individually to find out what it’s about. On the other hand, OmniWeb’s RSS capabilities are modest at best. OmniWeb uses dynamic thumbnails of each open Web page, rather than tabs, to make navigation easier.Like Safari, OmniWeb has a search field built into the toolbar unlike Safari, you can choose from among several different search engines using a pop-up menu, or add new sites if the built-in choices aren’t adequate. In addition, you can manually store your own arbitrary sets of workspaces and recall them later. OmniWeb can automatically save all your open windows and tabs (including their sizes and positions on screen) and restore them when you relaunch the application. Because you can see the contents of each open browser tab, rather than just its name, navigation requires less mental effort. Thumbnails can be easily reorderded, dragged to new windows, or deleted. Rather than use conventional tabs across the top of the window, OmniWeb puts a list of thumbnails (optionally replaced with page titles) in a drawer on the side of the window. The most visible difference between OmniWeb and most other browsers is its approach to tabbed browsing. If you’ve ever been frustrated by Safari’s limited flexibility in areas like controlling security settings and managing bookmarks, you may find just what you’re looking for in OmniWeb 5.6. The Omni Group’s OmniWeb browser is like an enhanced, extra-powerful version of Safari.
