Next message: What does Safari mean for OmniWeb?
OmniWeb is a browser which provides a very rich browsing experience, and
is a very successful product for us despite free competition from the web
industry´s giants, Microsoft and Netscape. OmniWeb´s biggest weakness has
been a lack of compatibility with some web pages, and solving this by
implementing newer web standards is the focus of our current efforts on
OmniWeb.
Safari appears to be a great alternative to Internet Explorer as a free
web browser which ships with the operating system. It seems to be quite
fast, small, and easy to use (much like the new 12" PowerBook), and I´m
very glad to see Apple basing their product on standards and open source
technologies.
But the most interesting thing about Safari where OmniWeb is concerned is
not the application itself: 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! (For details, see
<http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/we...>.) 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!
Ken
