That fee had been one reason for my looking elsewhere, but it wasn’t my biggest objection to OmniWeb I dislike thumbnail bookmarks tabs. OmniWeb was also the last major commercial software browser holdout (except for iCab, currently at version 4.8a, which remains nagware), finally dropping its licensing fee in February 2009. OmniWeb was originally developed for the NextStep platform in 1995, then migrating to OpenStep, and finally to Mac OS X. In my quest for an up-to-date browser to use in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger on my two old Pismo PowerBooks, one that I had consistently passed over was OmniWeb, which was the very first OS X web browser out of the blocks a decade ago.
