Battle of the Browsers

Which One Should You Take to the Web? By Jeff Carlson
For most Mac OS X users, the gateway to the Web is Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), which -- not coincidentally -- is the only non-Apple icon in the Dock. Netscape, once IE's only major competitor, is still around, but now other developers are bringing their browsers to OS X. By working hard to avoid the feature bloat and unpredictable display problems of earlier browsers, the makers of these alternative applications are redefining how we access the Web. If you want to speed up your browsing, or if you're just curious about what else is out there, we'll help you explore the possibilities.

This is a new version of Mozilla 1.0 containing fixes for many security, stability, dataloss and performance problems. Mozilla 1.0 users should upgrade to this if they're too timid for 1.2.1.

This is our latest alpha, featuring Junk Mail classification and improved filtering. You'll probably find bugs here so if the idea filing a bug and making sure it hasn't already been reported is too much trouble, then you'll be happier downloading 1.2.1 instead.

This is our latest and greatest release. New to Mozilla? Get this.

Upgrade your web browsing experience with OmniWeb
OmniWeb was designed to provide you with the best user experience you'll find in a web browser. We think it's important that your browser be less like a television - and more like a powerful tool that lets you get at the information you want, quickly and easily.

OmniWeb is built specifically - and exclusively - for Mac OS X. For instance, OmniWeb uses Mac OS X's graphics engine to produce amazingly sharp web pages that display smooth text just as beautifully as a printed page. OmniWeb also takes full advantage of multiple processors for extra speed, and truly reflects the Aqua user interface with drawers, sheets, customizable toolbars and more.

More than just a pretty face, OmniWeb comes packed with cool features that make your time on the web more efficient, and more fun. Instead of being set on invading your privacy or limiting your choices, OmniWeb helps put you in charge of your browsing experience.

OmniWeb 4.1 can be downloaded as a free trial. An OmniWeb 4.1 license retails for a very reasonable $29.95. If you enjoy OmniWeb, why not buy a license at our web store? You'll get priority tech support, and the warm glowing warming glow of supporting a development company focused on bringing great software to Mac OS X.
