The Omni Group Announces OmniWeb 5.6
SEATTLE, Washington — October 25, 2007 — The Omni Group has announced a new release of their power-user web browser: OmniWeb 5.6. With features like visual tabs, workspaces for rapidly saving a snapshot of open web pages, and a range of built-in online productivity tools, OmniWeb is the tool of choice for people that want more from their browser. OmniWeb 5.6 improves on all this with a new browser engine for speed and performance, a new inline PDF viewing feature, and new Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) compatibility.
“OmniWeb 5.6 is blazingly fast and supports many new web features, thanks to a lot of great work by the WebKit team,” said Ken Case, CEO of the Omni Group. “On top of this incredible engine, we provide our trademark visual tabs, saved workspaces, keyword shortcuts, ad blocking, and much more. We’re also excited to offer Leopard compatibility in OmniWeb 5.6, as well as the new PDF inline view feature.”
OmniWeb 5.6 includes an all new version of WebKit, the industry- leading open source web browser engine. The browser engine update provides a number of speed and performance improvements while running OmniWeb 5.6 on both Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). OmniWeb 5.6 also makes viewing PDFs much easier than in previous releases. With the new “PDF inline view” feature, PDF documents open inside the browser, which reduces the number of open windows and makes it easier to focus on accessing online content.
Other improvements in OmniWeb 5.6 include a new automatic software update feature; new Chinese localization and updated French, German and Japanese localizations; and improved plug-in and javascript performance. More information is available at http://omnigroup.com/ omniweb.
