[float=right]The Omni Group has released four of their software applications as freeware: OmniWeb, OmniDazzle, OmniDiskSweeper, and OmniObjectMeter. All versions are fully functional with no licensing restrictions, and are available at no cost from the Omni Group's website (omni group.com).

"As a small company with limited resources, we have had to make some difficult decisions about where to focus our attention as our business continues to grow," said Ken Case, CEO of the Omni Group. "By making these applications -- which are not currently under active development -- available as free downloads, we hope that more people are able to enjoy using them without the barrier of cost."

OmniWeb is a powerful web browser with many unique time-saving, customizable features; OmniDazzle is a set of visual screen effects that can be used for presentations or capturing screenshots; OmniDiskSweeper is a disk cleanup utility; and OmniObjectMeter is a Mac OS X memory optimization developer tool. More information on these and other Omni Group products can be found at omni group.com/applications

Field Note #1 @blast9999 2009-02-28

So how well does it work? Another browser would be cool.

Field Note #2 @Puttabong 2009-03-04

I've been using OmniWeb for a long time because I love its look and feel. However, I'm currently using Safari 4 (with old tabs, though) instead.

If you haven't used OmniWeb yet, give it a try! It's great.
