Next OmniWeb to be based on Safari Engine?

Posted by pudge on from the i-want-an-open-source-tabbing-engine dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A MacFixIt article includes a quote from the Omni Group's CEO Ken Case: 'The wonderful news for OmniWeb is that Apple has based it on a fast, compatible (and small!) rendering engine which is tuned for Mac OS X, and which they are making available to the entire Mac OS X development community! [...] This means that we may be able to reach our compatibility and speed goals for OmniWeb much more quickly than when we were working alone, and then return our focus to doing what we do best: providing a rich browsing experience. Thank you, Apple!'"

    He was saying that laptops were 30% of the share of mac sales. Not that macs were 30% of computer industry sales.

    Those numbers are totally legit, you just didn't read the words around them.

    I doubt this is intentional, but if you go under preferences for OmniWeb, under compatability, there is a nice little spot where you can adjust what browser it tells the website it is.

    I have been able to conduct online banking through that means without any problems whatsoever.
