![]() ![]() It’s brain dead interface is so simple that you immediate understand that it’s trivial to create, edit tag hierarchies as well as add new entries to that hierarchy. After many months of casual usage, I’ve begun to actively use ’s as a means of a organizing bookmarks outside of my browser. In this round of bookmark triage, has finally made it to the bookmark bar. I tidy these up by reorganizing and prioritizing these bookmarks from left to right where left means “more important” or “often clicked”. Yet, I still have my fifteen or so standard bookmarks/tab groups that allow me to quickly grok forty or so websites. They lack any sort of time-based or change information and they don’t scale even with all that help from tabbed browsing. I just won’t shut up about disappointed I am with the usefulness of bookmarks. This time around, I began with a complete rebuild of my bookmarks. ![]() I think, “Shit, I better get ready.” I start cleaning. The first wiff of crunch time has the same affect on me as the first smell of spring. Call them integration bugs… call them unplanned consequences… but these are the bugs that will have you working the weekend… these are the bugs of the crunch. Problem is, these side-effect bugs are the unplanned work that will take the most time between now and the end. These are the side-effect bugs introduced by landing these Cool New features… no one is actually looking at these bugs because their focus is squarely on the Cool and the New. Meanwhile, there is a steady flow of bugs trickling in and no one is looking at them. QA is pulling their hair out trying to get these working features actually working. You can get e-mail tech support for free, but your problems will be a lower priority than paying customers'.You can smell when crunch time is coming.Įngineering is saying the features are done. ![]() For an optional payment of $30, you can send tech-support messages through OmniWeb's Help menu. The Omni Group has included good built-in and online help and FAQs, and it even offers a support mailing list. OmniWeb also returned more JavaScript errors than the others, which further hindered the browser's usefulness. Its rendering speed is slower than that of any other browser we tested. The biggest drawback to OmniWeb is its performance. You can also drag any icon from the Preferences dialog to the toolbar for easy access to a particular configuration window. As with Camino, you can move around any of the buttons on the toolbar by Command-dragging them-just like in the Finder toolbar. OmniWeb offers more settings than Safari, and preferences are organized more intelligently than they are in IE and Opera. We love the degree to which you can configure OmniWeb. OmniWeb doesn't have tabs, but it does let you search through pages you've already visited and can autoupdate your bookmarks. OmniWeb also includes popular features such as pop-up blocking and autofilling of forms, but there is no tabbed browsing, a glaring omission in the Mac browser field. The Save command saves any Web page, modified or not. If you see something wrong with a page you've built, select View in Source Editor from the Browser menu there you can edit your code and view the result of your changes. Webmasters will like OmniWeb's built-in HTML editor. If you remember reading a news story about Hawaii, just type it in the search field of the History drawer OmniWeb returns a list of the past pages you've viewed about Hawaii. We also like the way OmniWeb can search for keywords in the History panel. OmniWeb's Dock icon tells you how many bookmarks were updated. For instance, you can set OmniWeb to automatically update bookmarks periodically or to run as a batch, and you can delete any dead links the browser finds. OmniWeb offers a stunning interface and good rendering, along with a unique collection of features. ![]()
