What is OmniWeb?

OmniWeb was designed to provide you with the best user experience you'll find in a web browser. We think it's important to polish every user interaction to make sure that the browser acts the way you want it to — so you can stop thinking about the application you're using and just get at the information you want, quickly.

Instead of trying to make our browser more like a television, we've concentrated on useful features, from extremely easy to use bookmarks (we were the first browser to allow you to simply drag a page to and from your bookmarks) that can automatically check themselves for new content, to forms that automatically remember their values when they are bookmarked.

How you feel when you use a browser is the product of a thousand little details, and we've sweated over every one: for example, we have keyboard shortcuts for finding forward and backward (and automatically wrapping around), shrink-to-fit window zooms — and (of course!) a fully "Aquafied" user interface. Our Aqua support is not just skin deep: we have slide-out bookmark and history "drawers", a configurable Aqua toolbar, and the system Aqua preferences panel. And, not only do we use native Aqua interface elements for display on web pages, we even make the default submit button in a form throb just like it would if it were the default button on a native panel, so you know what will happen when you hit return

Of course, none of this matters unless OmniWeb is able to view the pages you want to see. That's why we include support for JavaScript, Flash, Layers, QuickTime, SSL, Cascading Style Sheets, and Java applets.

Emulating this? It could probably run under: QEMU
